Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency about how we earn revenue and fund this site.
FTC Disclosure Statement
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255, “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising,” we disclose the following:
ChinaCheapo Deals (https://deals.chinacheapo.com) is a participant in several affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to third-party travel booking platforms.
How We Earn Commissions
ChinaCheapo Deals earns money through affiliate commissions. When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase or booking on a partner's website, we may receive a small commission from that partner.
This comes at absolutely no extra cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you reach the partner's site through our link or by visiting them directly. In some cases, we may negotiate exclusive deals or coupon codes that can actually save you money.
The commissions we earn help us maintain this website, pay for hosting and development, and continue providing free travel guides, comparison tools, and deal information for travelers visiting China.

Editorial Independence
Our affiliate partnerships do not influence our editorial content, recommendations, or rankings. We recommend products and services based on genuine research, personal experience, and what we believe provides the best value for travelers visiting China.
We may feature products from companies with which we have an affiliate relationship, but we also feature products and services from companies with which we have no financial relationship if we believe they are useful to our readers.
If we receive a free product or service for review, we will always disclose that fact clearly in the relevant content. Our opinions are always our own.
