Affiliate Disclosure
How we use affiliate links, and how that does — and doesn't — shape what we recommend
The short version
Last updated: 12 August 2026.
WorkingHoliday.Guide is free to use and always will be. To help cover the cost of running the site, some of the outbound links in our guides are affiliate (or referral) links. If you click through and sign up or buy something, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. It never changes the price you pay.
Where affiliate links currently appear
Right now, affiliate links appear in seven areas of the site. Some partners are linked from a single guide; others, like Wise, appear across a lot of pages.
- Working holiday programmes — our on your own vs with an organisation guide links to Global Work & Travel, and shows it on the quiz result for readers the quiz points towards a package. If you book a programme through that link, we may earn a commission.
- Travel insurance — our insurance guide links to SafetyWing, True Traveller, Heymondo, Genki and World Nomads. If you get a quote or buy a policy through one of these links, we may earn a commission.
- Banking & money transfers — our banking guide links to Wise and Revolut. Wise is the most widely linked partner on the site: as well as the banking guide, Wise links appear on our home page, our Australia and New Zealand apps pages, our farm work guide, and our country- and city-specific pages (for example "working holiday in Australia from Germany", or our city and job-type pages). Some of these are text links, others are display banners. Revolut is only affiliate-linked on the banking guide — where it appears elsewhere on the site, it's a plain, unpaid mention. If you open an account through one of these links, we may earn a commission.
- eSIM & connectivity — our SIM card guide (and our packing, apps and solo-travel-safety pages) links to Airalo eSIMs via the Travelpayouts affiliate network. The SIM card guide also links to Holafly using a discount code that identifies us as the referrer. If you buy an eSIM through one of these links, we may earn a commission.
- Flights — our flights guide embeds a Kiwi.com flight-search widget via the Travelpayouts affiliate network. If you book a flight through it, we may earn a commission.
- Transfers, stays & activities — our flights guide (airport transfers), our Australia and New Zealand apps and destinations pages link to Klook via the Travelpayouts affiliate network. If you book a transfer, stay or tour through one of these links, we may earn a commission.
- Car hire — our buying a car guide links to DiscoverCars, next to the section on renting as an alternative to buying. If you book a rental car through that link, we may earn a commission.
We don't currently have an affiliate partnership on our super/tax reclaim guide — links on that page are plain, unpaid recommendations. If that changes, we'll update this page and the disclosure note on the relevant guide.
Some affiliate links pass through a network's tracking domain (for example, Commission Junction) so the partner can attribute the referral to us. Affiliate links on this site are marked with rel="sponsored" in the page code, which is how we and search engines identify them as paid/sponsored links.
Does this affect our recommendations?
We only recommend products and services we'd suggest regardless of commission. Whether or not a provider offers an affiliate programme has no bearing on how we rank, compare or describe it in our guides — the comparison tables reflect our honest read of cover, cost and features, not commission rates. If we ever change that approach, we'll say so here.
