Affiliate disclosure

The short version

esimcruise.deals earns affiliate commissions. If you click a “Get deal”, “Use code” or similar button and then buy, the provider pays us a percentage of the sale. You pay the same price or less — many of our links carry a discount code that is cheaper than going direct.

Our GigSky relationship

GigSky is our flagship partner. We hold an exclusive ESIMDUDE discount code for GigSky worth 10% off, GigSky is promoted first in plan listings site-wide, and we earn commission on GigSky sales. This is the most significant commercial relationship on the site and we name it here, on how we test, and beside the recommendation itself.

The editorial guardrails that go with it are documented in full on the methodology page: the Cheapest ranking ignores partnership, every GigSky recommendation names its weaknesses, and rivals are never suppressed.

What commission does not buy

Providers we may earn commission from

We hold affiliate relationships with the 59 providers listed below, through networks including Impact, Awin, FlexOffers and direct programmes.

How a click actually works

Outbound links pass through /go/{provider} on this domain so we can count clicks and attach the right discount code. That redirect logs the provider, the page you came from and the placement — never anything that identifies you personally. See our privacy page, and the terms of use for what we do and do not promise about the figures on this site.

Once you land on the provider’s site, their tracking takes over, not ours. Most affiliate programmes attribute a sale to the last click within a window — typically 30 days, sometimes 7 — so if you click here, leave, and buy later from a search result, we may earn nothing and you will notice no difference. We do not use cookies of our own to extend that window, and we have no way to see what you buy or for how much: the network reports a commission total, not a basket.

How we verify a discount code

Every code on this site carries the date we last confirmed it worked, and that date is the thing to trust. A code is “confirmed” when it has applied at checkout on a test order we abandon before payment. Codes expire without notice; when one fails, the page is updated to say so rather than left to quietly disappoint people. If you find one that does not apply, tell us — a corrected date is worth more to the next reader than a stale percentage.

What happens when a programme changes

Providers join and leave affiliate networks, change commission rates, and occasionally suspend programmes. None of that changes a recommendation: a provider whose programme closes stays in the rankings on the same terms it was there before, with its outbound link pointed at its own site instead of a tracked one. A provider we have never held a relationship with is listed the same way. If a recommendation ever changed for commercial reasons, this page would say so, because saying so is the whole point of it.

Who is behind this

The site is independently run and edited; there is no provider on the payroll and no provider on the board. The About page sets out who writes it, what it does and does not cover, and the reasoning behind the coverage labels every plan carries. How we test is the longer version of the methodology.
