Affiliate Disclosure Statement

Transparency and reader trust are paramount. Here is exactly how RoamFYI operates, how we generate revenue, and how we preserve 100% editorial integrity.

1. FTC & Regulatory Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and international advertising standards, please be aware that some of the links on roamfyi.com are affiliate links.

This means that if you click on a referral link and subsequently make a purchase or booking, RoamFYI may receive a modest monetary commission from the merchant partner at no additional cost to you. In many cases, our partner agreements unlock exclusive promotional codes and discounts for our readers.

2. What Affiliate Programs Do We Participate In?

RoamFYI partners with trusted global travel platforms and affiliate networks, including but not limited to:

  • Travelpayouts: Automated travel affiliate network powering flight, rail, car transfer, and tour links.
  • Accommodation Partners: Booking.com, Agoda, Trip.com, and Expedia.
  • Tours, Passes & Activities: Klook, KKday, GetYourGuide, and Tiqets.
  • Connectivity & eSIMs: Airalo, Nomad, and local telecom voucher providers.
  • Ground Transportation: Welcome Pickups, 12Go Asia, Trainline, and Omio.

3. Absolute Editorial Independence

Our financial relationships with affiliate merchants do NOT influence our editorial evaluations, transit timing assessments, or break-even calculations.

Our Core Editorial Rule: If a pass or ticket is a bad deal for a specific traveler profile (e.g. when pay-as-you-go IC card fares are cheaper than an expensive multi-day rail pass), we will explicitly recommend against purchasing it, regardless of available affiliate commissions.

4. Non-Monetized & Pure Informational Guides

A substantial portion of RoamFYI content consists of purely informational guides (such as luggage dimension regulations, lost-and-found recovery procedures, and cultural transit etiquette) that contain zero affiliate banners or monetized promotions. We publish these resources purely to serve the global independent traveler community.
