Frequently
Asked Questions
  What
is an Affiliate Program?
An affiliate Program allows
you to create a unique web
site for travel or place
links to our booking engine
on your web site. By creating
this site, or placing these
links on your web site,
visitors to your sites have
the opportunity to reserve
our hotels through your
link. If our hotel, tour,
golf tee time or wedding
package is reserved as a
result of a visitor linking
from your site directly
to ours, we will pay you
a commission.

What
if my customer is afraid to
complete the booking online?
We can provide you a toll-free
phone number to our call
center which you will also
receive commission for sales
generated by your efforts.

I
operate more than one web
site. Can I still be an Affiliate?
Yes, you can have multiple
sites linked to our booking
engine. You can have one
Affiliate account that will
include all of your sites
or in the event you create
multiple unique travel web
sites, we will provide you
multiple affiliate login
accounts.

a web site outside of the

an Affiliate?

from anywhere in the world.

What
is a “Branded Booking
Engine”?
A “Branded Booking
Engine” allows you
to customize our booking
engine to the look and feel
of your web site. We provide
you easy to use instructions
to change background, banner,
button and text colors to
match the look and feel
of your site. You can add
your custom top banner which
is followed throughout a
customer’s reservation,
even to the confirmation
page.

What
about cancellations?
Commissions are paid on
“net” reservations.
This means that you are
paid on all reservations
utilized
by a customer during the
preceding month.
Back to top
Do
I earn commission on my own
reservation bookings?
Yes. When you make your
reservations through your
Affiliate Link, you earn
the same commission on your
stay or event that you would
from a visitor’s stay.

Who
processes the orders, provides
the merchant banking services
and handles customer service?
We do all that is necessary
to handle the customers
needs. All you have to do
is send us the customers.

How
will you know that the customer
came from my site?
All links from your site
will contain a unique identifier
so that every time a user
comes to our engine, we
know who to credit when
a booking is made.
Back to top
Where
should I place the links on
my site?
You should place links
prominently on your web
page so that your site visitors
can make travel arrangements
easily. If you place links
on an easily accessible
location, you are more likely
to generate a reservation.

How
do I sign up?

our Affiliate
Agreement, then complete
the online application form.
After the application is
submitted, we will contact
you to let you know you
