Affiliate Disclosure

The short version

Platter & Plinth is free to read because some of the product links are affiliate links. If you click one and buy, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. That’s it. It never changes which product we recommend, and we’ll tell you plainly when to skip one.

Amazon Associates

Platter & Plinth 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. Our product links route through a redirect (shown as /go/…) that adds our Amazon Associates tag, t5hifi-20, to the destination.

How commissions do — and don’t — affect our picks

They don’t decide anything. Our recommendations are reasoned from published specifications and buyer fit, as described on our methodologypage. Where a cheaper product is the better buy, that’s our pick even if a pricier one would pay us more. We do not accept payment, free products or sponsorship in exchange for a recommendation, and there are no sponsored placements anywhere on this site.

Prices

Prices shown are pulled live from Amazon and stamped with the date they were checked; they can change at any time, and the price at checkout is the one that counts. Where we have no current price, we show “Check price on Amazon” rather than an old number. See our editorial policy for how we handle accuracy and corrections.

Other retailers

Amazon is our default retailer. If we ever add links to another store or a brand-direct program, we’ll disclose it the same way — and if a link earns us nothing, we’ll say so. Questions about any of this? Reach us on the contact page.
