Main Heading: Affiliate Disclosure
In Plain English: We Earn Commissions, But Our Reviews Are Never Bought.
GetUserReviews.com is a professional review site that receives compensation from some of the companies we review. This is how we keep the site running and free for you.
How Affiliate Links Work
Throughout our site, you will see links to gold IRA companies (e.g., Augusta Precious Metals, Goldco, etc.). These are often “affiliate links.” This means:
- When you click a link and open a qualifying account, we may receive a commission.
- The commission is paid by the company, not by you – it does not increase your costs.
- Different companies pay different commission rates. Some pay nothing.
Our Promise: Commissions Never Influence Reviews
- We do not let affiliate commissions influence our reviews, ratings, or rankings.
- We open real accounts and complete our research before joining most affiliate programs.
- A company that pays us nothing receives the same honest, critical review as a paying partner.
- We always publish negative findings – even if the company is an affiliate partner.
How We Avoid Bias
| Practice | What We Do |
|---|---|
| Research before affiliation | We typically complete our review and testing before joining a company’s affiliate program. |
| Negative reviews stay public | We never remove or alter a negative review to keep an affiliate relationship. |
| Rankings by quality only | Our “Best Gold IRA Companies” list is based on our 5‑step review process, not on commission rates. |
| Transparent corrections | If we make a mistake, we correct it openly. |
What This Means for You
You can trust that every rating is based on real testing – not commission rates. The pros and cons are honest. You are always free to ignore our affiliate links and visit any company directly. We will never be upset if you don’t use our links.
Third‑Party Affiliate Programs
We participate in gold IRA provider affiliate networks, custodian referral programs (e.g., Equity Trust, STRATA Trust), and direct partnerships. If a specific review contains affiliate links, we state that clearly at the top or bottom.
Questions / Ethics Reporting
If you suspect a review was influenced by an affiliate relationship, please email ethics@getuserreviews.com. Our compliance lead, Arkabrata Majumdar, will investigate and respond within 48 hours.

H2: Gold IRA Risk Disclosure (New, Dedicated Section)
Investing in gold IRAs and other precious metals carries significant risks. You should carefully consider the following before making any investment decision.
| Risk Category | Specific Risks |
|---|---|
| Market volatility | The price of gold and other precious metals can fluctuate substantially based on economic conditions, central bank policies, and geopolitical events. You may lose value. |
| Fees and expenses | Gold IRAs often have higher fees than traditional IRAs: setup fees, custodian fees, storage fees (allocated or segregated), insurance, and seller’s premiums (spreads). These fees can erode returns. |
| Illiquidity | Selling physical gold can take days or weeks. Buyback programs may offer prices below spot. You may not be able to access cash quickly. |
| Counterparty risk | Your gold IRA relies on custodians, depositories, and dealers. If a custodian or depository becomes insolvent, your metals might not be fully protected (though allocated storage helps). |
| Regulatory changes | IRS rules for self‑directed IRAs and precious metals can change, potentially affecting tax benefits or allowed assets. |
| No guaranteed returns | Unlike FDIC‑insured bank accounts, gold IRAs do not guarantee principal or returns. Past performance does not predict future results. |
| Scams and bad actors | The gold IRA industry has seen hidden fees, aggressive sales tactics, and even fraud. Always verify a company’s track record with the BBB and other regulators. |
Our role: We provide research and transparency. We do not recommend that any specific gold IRA is right for you. You alone are responsible for your investment decisions. Prior to investing, consult with a licensed financial advisor, tax professional, and (if needed) legal counsel.
