Methodology · For reviewers & shoppers

How centKoala curates Amazon Australia offers

centKoala is an Australian personal finance and deals app. Amazon Associates links appear in context — beside grocery comparisons, tech wishlist matches, and editorial guides — not as a bare link directory. This page documents our rules for Amazon reviewers and customers.

Deal-quality filter

Products from amazon_deals_visible must pass our deal classifier: meaningful savings versus recent list price, in stock, and Prime-fulfilled where applicable. We hide placeholder images and stale ASINs that fail quality checks.

Where Amazon links appear

• Website Partners section — centkoala.com/deals#section-partners
• Grocery comparison table — Amazon column when a mapped master product has a visible deal
• Mobile app — Deals Market tab and tech wishlist (primary user surface)
• Editorial guides — centkoala.com/guides

Affiliate attribution

Amazon purchase links use our exit gateway /api/v1/exit?token=…, which appends Associates store ID tag=centkoala0c-20 on amazon.com.au. We do not embed personally identifiable information in outbound URLs. Full disclosure: Affiliate Disclosure.

Editorial independence

Affiliate relationships do not reorder grocery comparison results — the cheapest mapped price wins regardless of retailer. Sponsored placements are labelled with the retailer name (“Amazon”, “eBay”). Coles and Woolworths catalogue results are not pay-to-rank.

Traffic sources

Organic app usage, public website storefront, invite links, and optional push notifications to existing users about curated deals. We do not use incentivised clicks or artificial traffic.
