Affiliate disclosure

Introduction

This page describes the affiliate relationships of YoloWiz LLC and how they affect the content and services provided on YoloWiz.

How we make money

YoloWiz LLC is committed to providing a free-to-use platform for travel search. To support our operations we participate in affiliate marketing programs. When you click certain links on this site and then make a booking or purchase through the provider, we may receive a commission from that provider.

This commission does not affect the price you pay. What you see and pay through our affiliate links is the same as if you had gone to the provider directly.

How this affects rankings

The order in which search results appear is determined solely by the sort you choose — price, duration, number of stops or departure time for flights; price, guest rating or star rating for hotels; price or vehicle class for cars; traveller rating, price or duration for things to do. Our affiliate relationships and the prospect of earning commission play no part in the order or prominence of any result.

If that ever changes, this page will be updated to say so, and any result influenced by affiliate compensation will be clearly and explicitly labelled on the result itself.

What the Wiz suggests

When you chat with the Wiz, the places he points you to are links to pages on this site — a destination guide, or a search for hotels, things to do or flights in a place he has named. They are not links to a provider, and nothing he offers earns us anything by itself. It is the pages they lead to that carry the relationships described here, so if you go on to book from one of them, everything above applies exactly as it would had you arrived there any other way.

Which places he suggests is his answer to what you asked him, and nothing about what a place might earn us reaches him — he has no such information. What you are then offered for each of those places is our decision rather than his, and we will not pretend otherwise: beside the guide to a place he names, this site adds at least one of the pages a traveller usually wants next — things to do there, or somewhere to stay — and those are the pages where we may earn a commission. We do it for every place alike, so it decides what you are offered and never which places he suggests or the order they come in. He suggests somewhere because it fits what you described; that we then benefit if you book is the arrangement this whole page exists to describe.

Who we work with

Flight search is powered by a third-party fare provider. We pay them for each search; they pay us nothing, and they have no influence over which destinations we recommend or how results are ordered. Beside flight results we link to Aviasales and Kiwi.com so you can compare the same route there; those links may earn us a commission and never change which fares we show or how we order them.

Hotel results come from Stay22, who pass you to a booking site to pay. Things to do come from Viator, whose products we show with their own prices and ratings and whose Book links open Viator’s checkout. Alongside a destination we may also link out to Klook and Tiqets for experiences, Welcome Pickups for airport transfers, Airalo for travel eSIMs, and Booking.com for accommodation; those are searches for the place and dates you are looking at.

We are the seller of nothing on this site. Every booking is a handoff: you pay the provider, their terms and their cancellation policy apply, and we hold no inventory and quote no prices of our own.

Current status of affiliate links

As of the date above, YoloWiz LLC does earn commission on some links. Stay22 pays us a share of what a hotel booking earns them; Viator pays a commission on things to do booked through our links; and Klook, Tiqets, Welcome Pickups, Airalo, Aviasales and Kiwi.com pay commission through the Travelpayouts affiliate network. The fare results themselves earn us nothing — we pay the fare provider for each search — but the compare links beside them can. Our Booking.com links go through Stay22, who pay us a share of what your booking earns them; we have no direct arrangement with Booking.com.

Wherever a link does earn a commission, it is marked on the result itself, next to the link, as described above. Where it does not, we do not mark it, so the marking stays worth something.

Regulatory note

This disclosure is written to comply with Federal Trade Commission guidance on affiliate relationships, and equivalent rules elsewhere. We aim to be fully transparent about how the service is funded.
