Editorial Standards, Submission Rules, and Partner Expectations
This Partner Policy (“Policy”) governs the submission, evaluation, publication, and management of opportunities submitted by suppliers, affiliates, or partners (“Partners”) for consideration on CheaperForYouTravel.com (the “Site”).
Submission of an opportunity constitutes acknowledgment and acceptance of this Policy.
Note: This Policy is intended to operate alongside the Site’s Terms of Service. In the event of conflict, the Terms of Service control.

We help travelers book smarter by explaining prices, timing, and tradeoffs.
All editorial decisions are made in furtherance of this mission and the interests of Site users.

The Site maintains full editorial independence.
- All content published on the Site is written, edited, and controlled solely by the Site’s editorial team.
- Partners do not receive copy approval rights or editorial control.
- Commission rates, affiliate terms, or commercial considerations do not obligate the Site to publish any submission.
