FAQs
Does it cost me extra?
Nope. If you use an affiliate link, you pay the same price. I may earn a small commission, which helps keep The Travel Tinker running.
Are these affiliate links?
Some are, yes. I only use affiliate links for brands/services I genuinely think are useful for travellers, and I’ll always aim to keep recommendations practical, not spammy.
Where does the money go?
Straight back into the site, things like:
Website costs: hosting, domains, security, backups
Tools: plugins, email/newsletter bits, research tools, testing subscriptions
Testing + updates: keeping guides current, checking prices/policies, improving calculators/tools
Content time: writing, updating, and building new resources people actually use
Can I cancel Patreon anytime?
Yes. Patreon is month-to-month and you can cancel whenever you like in your Patreon account settings.
Can I support without spending money?
Absolutely. Free ways that help a ton:
Share a guide with a friend (or in a travel group)
Bookmark posts you use so you can come back easily
Turn off ad-block for the site if you’re happy to
Follow on socials and engage (likes/comments genuinely help reach)
