Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: 1 May 2026
Some links on TripXenia are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. We use this income to run the site and keep our content free. We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe are good value. Our editorial opinions are never influenced by commercial relationships.
1. What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based revenue model where a publisher (TripXenia) earns a commission when a reader clicks a special tracked link and completes a qualifying action (purchase, sign-up, application). The price you pay is never higher because of an affiliate link — you pay the same as you would going directly to the merchant.
2. Affiliate Networks We Work With
TripXenia currently participates in the following affiliate programmes and networks:
3. Commission Rates (Approximate)
For transparency, here are the approximate commission rates we earn on common product categories:
| Category | Example Products | Commission |

| eSIM Plans | Airalo plans | ~15% of plan value |
| Visa Services | iVisa applications | ~15% of service fee |

Rates are approximate and subject to change by affiliate networks. They do not affect the price you pay.
4. Editorial Independence Statement
TripXenia's editorial content is completely independent of our commercial relationships. The existence of an affiliate programme does not guarantee positive coverage, inclusion in roundups, or higher rankings. We regularly recommend free tools, non-affiliate services, and competitors of our affiliate partners when they offer better value for our readers.
Affiliate income helps us keep our content free. If you find TripXenia useful, using our affiliate links is the best way to support us without paying a penny extra.
5. How to Identify Affiliate Links
Affiliate links may contain tracking parameters (e.g., ?ref=tripxenia, ?utm_source=tripxenia). In articles, we aim to note where links are affiliate links using phrases like "affiliate link", "(ad)", or a note at the top of the article. Deal pages and product cards may also contain affiliate links.
6. FTC & ASA Compliance
We comply with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) rules on affiliate disclosure. All material connections between TripXenia and advertised products are disclosed.
