Effective 25 August 2026.
Material relationship
Worth the Way participates in the Expedia Group Travel Creator Program. Some links to Expedia are advertising and affiliate links. If you follow one of these links and complete a qualifying booking within Expedia's applicable attribution window, Worth the Way may earn a commission. Clicking a link does not create a booking with Worth the Way. Expedia determines whether a booking qualifies under its current program terms.
How links are identified
A clear commission disclosure appears before or beside the first commercial action on a page. Affiliate actions identify the external partner, open the partner website in a new tab, and use the sponsored link attribute. A dedicated disclosure page does not replace the disclosure next to a recommendation.
Editorial independence
Commercial relationships do not determine Worth the Way verdicts, Worth Index assessments, or whether a hotel is included. Each commercial recommendation must have an editorial reason and a current verification date. A link is attached only after the editorial recommendation has been made. Expedia does not approve or control Worth the Way editorial conclusions.
The travel transaction
Worth the Way is not the merchant of record, travel agent, booking engine, or provider of the recommended stay. Expedia or the relevant travel provider controls prices, availability, payment, booking changes, cancellations, refunds, and customer service. The partner's current listing and terms govern the transaction.
Tracking after a click
Worth the Way records a cookie-free, privacy-minimized outbound click event for operational attribution. The raw event is retained for 90 days. Worth the Way does not create a persistent visitor identifier or place an affiliate attribution cookie. Expedia may use its own seven-day, last-click attribution cookie under its current program terms after a visitor reaches Expedia. Expedia's own privacy and cookie practices then apply. More detail is available in the Privacy policy.
Other commercial relationships
If a page involves a paid placement, hosted stay, complimentary access, gift, or another material relationship, that relationship will be disclosed clearly on the relevant page. A commercial relationship does not guarantee a positive verdict.
