Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: November 11, 2026

Lustre Journal currently contains no affiliate links. This page explains what that means, and what will happen if it ever changes.

No affiliate links at present

As of November 11, 2026, this site contains no affiliate links, no tracking links, and no sponsored links of any kind. Nothing on this site earns us a commission if you buy it. There are no buy buttons, no retailer links that pay us, and no paid placements in any guide.

If that changes

If we ever add affiliate links in the future, we will do two things. First, we will update this page to say so. Second, we will disclose the affiliate relationship clearly at the top of every page that contains an affiliate link, before the link itself, so that you know about it before you click.

Editorial independence

Whether or not affiliate links exist on this site, they will not affect our editorial judgment. What we recommend is decided by research — grading standards, construction quality, care requirements, and price — not by whether a retailer pays us. If an affiliate relationship ever created a conflict with honest advice, we would disclose the conflict or decline the relationship.

Our full approach to independence is set out in our Editorial Policy. If you ever have a question about whether a link on this site is an affiliate link, email us at lb702031584xc@gmail.com and we will answer plainly.
