Affiliate Disclaimer
FTC Disclosure
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255), CheapTents.com makes the following disclosures:
CheapTents.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
How Affiliate Links Work
Throughout our site, you'll find links to products on Amazon.com. These are affiliate links, which means:
- When you click one of our links and make a purchase on Amazon, we earn a small commission (typically 1–4% of the purchase price).
- You pay the same price as you would going to Amazon directly. Our commission comes from Amazon, not from you. There is no markup, surcharge, or additional cost to you.
- The commission applies to your entire Amazon order during that session, not just the product we linked — so if you click our tent link and also buy a sleeping bag, we may earn a commission on both items.
How We Identify Affiliate Links
All affiliate links on our site use the rel="nofollow noopener" attribute and open in a new tab (target="_blank"). They link to Amazon.com product pages with our Associates tracking tag in the URL. Our "Check Price on Amazon" buttons are always affiliate links.
We also include a disclosure notice near the top of every page that contains affiliate links, stating: "CheapTents.com is reader-supported. When you buy through links on our site, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you."
Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content, product rankings, or recommendations. Specifically:
- Rankings are based on merit. We recommend the Coleman Sundome as our #1 overall pick because we believe it's the best budget tent — not because it generates the most commission. (It doesn't — higher-priced products earn more per sale.)
- We don't accept paid placements. Tent manufacturers cannot pay for a review, a higher ranking, or a "Best Overall" badge.
- We include honest criticism. Every product on our site has a clearly labeled "What We Don't Like" section. If a tent has real drawbacks, we name them — even though doing so may reduce the likelihood of a purchase (and therefore our commission).
- We recommend against purchase when appropriate. Some tents aren't worth buying. We'd rather lose a commission than recommend something that will ruin your camping trip.
Price Accuracy
Product prices and availability on Amazon change frequently. The prices shown on CheapTents.com are approximate ranges based on typical pricing at the time of writing. We cannot guarantee that the price displayed on our site matches the current Amazon price.
Always check the current price on Amazon before purchasing. Our "Check Price on Amazon" buttons link directly to the product page where you'll see the real-time price.
We do not use fake discount percentages, manufactured "original prices," countdown timers, or artificial scarcity claims ("Only 3 left!"). These tactics are prohibited by Amazon's Associates Program policies and we consider them dishonest.
Product Information
We strive to provide accurate product specifications, features, and descriptions based on manufacturer information and verified user reviews. However:
- Manufacturers may update products without notice (colors, materials, included accessories may change).
- Product availability varies by region and time.
- Individual experiences with products may differ from our reviews.
For the most current and complete product information, always refer to the Amazon product listing.
