Effective October 12, 2026. Happy Perks Calendar is an independent information publication about U.S. travel benefits, seasonal promotions, rewards, student savings and official benefit programs. This page explains how we plan to identify advertising and any financial connections that may exist.
Editorial information versus commercial promotion
Our guides aim to explain official program rules, restrictions, dates and comparative costs. Mentioning a company or linking to its official terms does not automatically mean the company pays us, endorses our content or participates in a commercial relationship.
Display advertising, if enabled
As of October 12, 2026, this site has not established a live Google AdSense advertising integration. If advertisements are enabled later, readers may see clearly identified third-party display ads. Our Privacy Policy will be updated to describe the actual advertising partners, cookies and applicable controls before those ads are displayed.
Affiliate links, if introduced
Some future articles may contain links that result in a commission if a reader makes a qualifying purchase. If so, we will put a clear and noticeable statement near the relevant recommendations and links, such as: “We may earn a commission if you buy through links in this article.” This is an example of a future disclosure, not a statement that affiliate links are currently active.
Any relationship involving sponsorship, gifted products or other material support should be disclosed in words readers understand. A sitewide page alone is not a substitute for a prominent disclosure located near an affected endorsement.
What does a referral or commission mean for pricing?
A referral payment does not establish that a deal is the cheapest, best or currently valid. We encourage readers to compare prices and official policies directly, including taxes, fees, memberships, warranty terms, refunds and eligibility. The provider determines the actual transaction, not Happy Perks Calendar.
Sponsored or paid content
If a company pays to feature content, it must be identified clearly as sponsored or paid content where readers will encounter it. Sponsored placements may not be presented as independent reporting or official government recommendations.
Editorial review and corrections
- Prefer official government, retailer, hospitality and loyalty-provider sources for material offer terms.
- Distinguish ongoing programs from limited-time promotions and illustrative price examples.
- State eligibility, verification rules, exclusions, important dates and other practical limitations.
- Correct outdated or misleading information when reliable evidence is available.
- Do not make guarantees that a reader qualifies for a rebate, special price or award.
Read our Editorial Policy and use the Deal Reality Check before making purchases or relying on an advertised benefit.
Relevant consumer guidance
For guidance on disclosure of endorsements and affiliate marketing relationships, see the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides FAQ. We follow the principle that material relationships should be disclosed clearly and near the relevant claim.
