Affiliate Disclosure
Amazon Associates
FetchBack 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.
When you click a link to Amazon.com on FetchBack and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This commission helps us operate the free service.
Other Affiliate Programs
FetchBack may also participate in affiliate programs with other retailers including but not limited to Best Buy, Walmart, Target, B&H Photo, and eBay. When you click a "Buy on [Store]" button and make a purchase, we may earn a commission.
How This Affects Our Recommendations
Our product rankings and recommendations are based on:
- Price competitiveness
- Product ratings and review count
- Specification match to your query
- Retailer trust score
We do not rank products higher because they pay higher commissions. Affiliate relationships do not influence our AI recommendations.
FTC Compliance Statement
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines (16 CFR Part 255), FetchBack clearly discloses all material connections with advertisers and retailers. This disclosure appears:
- On this Affiliate Disclosure page (linked in the footer)
- Near every affiliate link in the app ("As an Amazon Associate, FetchBack earns from qualifying purchases")
- On our shared deal landing pages

AI Transparency Disclosure
How We Use AI
FetchBack uses artificial intelligence in the following ways:
1. Product Recommendations
Search results and rankings are generated with the assistance of Claude (by Anthropic). The AI interprets your query, detects product categories, and scores results based on price, reviews, and specifications — not paid placement.
2. Shopping Summaries
The "Agent Recommendation" text on the confirm screen is AI-generated. It is a summary, not professional financial or purchasing advice.
3. Agent Mode Conversations
Agent Mode is a conversation with an AI. The AI cannot guarantee product availability, pricing, or authenticity.
4. Shopper Intelligence Profile
If you have an account, FetchBack analyzes your purchase and search history using AI to generate personalized recommendations. You can view, edit, or delete this profile from Settings → Privacy.
5. Price History Estimates
Price history charts for non-Amazon products may be AI-generated estimates labeled "Estimated." Do not rely on them as factual historical data.
What AI Cannot Do
- Access your actual credit card accounts or balances
- Guarantee product quality, authenticity, or availability
- Place orders without your explicit approval
- Guarantee that reward rates are current
Human Oversight
No purchase is made without your explicit click on a "Buy on [Store]" button. You retain full control over every transaction.
