Earnings Disclaimer

Referral Program

Steals+ offers a referral program that allows active paid members to earn credits by referring new members. The current structure is:

• You earn $1.00 USD per month for each person you refer who maintains an active paid Steals+ membership
• Referral credits are applied to your account monthly
• Referral earnings are only generated while both you and your referred member maintain active paid memberships

What this means in practice

If you refer 3 friends and all 3 maintain their memberships, you earn $3/month. If one cancels, your earnings drop to $2/month. If you cancel your own membership, your referral earnings stop entirely.

What we are not claiming

• We do not guarantee any specific level of referral earnings
• We do not claim that most members will earn back their membership cost through referrals
• We do not represent the referral program as a source of income
• We do not encourage members to join primarily for referral earnings

Community Dividends

Steals+ may, at its sole discretion, distribute monthly community dividends to active members. These dividends are entirely discretionary and depend on multiple factors:

• Overall platform revenue and profitability
• Total number of active members
• Platform growth trajectory
• Operational costs and business needs

Dividends may be zero in any given month. There is no minimum, guaranteed, or expected dividend amount. Dividend history is not indicative of future dividends. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the dividend program at any time with 30 days notice.

Savings Claims

The savings amounts displayed on Steals+ (including "total savings today" and per-deal savings) are calculated based on the difference between the listed original price and the sale price as reported by our sources. These figures are estimates and are subject to the following limitations:

• Original prices ("was" prices) are sourced from third-party deal sites and may not reflect the actual regular selling price
• Some retailers inflate "original" prices to make discounts appear larger
• Prices may have changed since the deal was scraped
• Deals may be expired, out of stock, or region-limited
• Actual savings depend on whether you would have purchased the item at the original price

We use a deal scoring system to help identify genuine deals, but no algorithm can guarantee that every listed discount is authentic. Users should verify prices independently before making purchases.

Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on Steals+ may contain affiliate tracking parameters. When you click these links and make a purchase, Steals+ may earn a commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you. This commission helps fund the Service.

Affiliate relationships do not influence our deal scoring algorithm. Deals are scored identically regardless of whether an affiliate relationship exists with the retailer. Our scoring factors are publicly documented on our scoring methodology page.

Tax Obligations

Referral earnings and community dividends may be considered taxable income depending on your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for reporting and paying any applicable taxes on earnings received through Steals+. We may issue tax forms (such as IRS Form 1099) as required by law for members whose annual earnings exceed applicable thresholds. Consult a tax professional for advice specific to your situation.

FTC Compliance

If you share Steals+ referral links publicly (on social media, blogs, YouTube, etc.), you are required by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to disclose that you receive compensation for referrals. A simple disclosure such as "I earn a referral credit if you sign up through my link" is sufficient. Failure to disclose is your responsibility and may violate FTC guidelines.
