What the Travelpayouts affiliate program is

The Travelpayouts affiliate program is a platform for travel offers. Travelpayouts runs the platform itself.

Its homepage says anyone with a public channel, such as a blog, website or social media, can become an affiliate partner.

Who can become a partner

The homepage names the kinds of channels it accepts. A blog, a website or a social media account all count. The common thread is that the channel is public.

Do not assume a rule the page does not state. Read the sign-up terms on the day you join.

What it costs to join

The homepage answers this plainly. Sign-up is free, with no sign-up fees and no ongoing costs.

It also says Travelpayouts gets paid by brands and does not take a cut of partners' earnings. So the money side of joining costs you nothing, and the platform's own pay comes from the brands, not from you.

How Travelpayouts pays its partners

The homepage says it pays automatically via PayPal or bank on the same day each month.

For how payout lines work in general, see how affiliate payouts are sent. For how long a click keeps counting, see what a cookie window is.

How reward rates are set

The homepage says each program states its reward rate in its terms, as a percentage or a fixed sum. So there is no single rate for the whole platform. Each program's rate is stated in that program's own terms.

A percentage rate and a fixed sum are different shapes. One scales with the sale. One does not. The terms for each offer tell you which one you are looking at.

How it compares in kind to other programs

Travelpayouts is a platform for travel offers. Other programs and networks have their own pages on this site.

The Amazon affiliate program has its own page. Networks like the CJ affiliate network, the ClickBank affiliate marketplace and the FlexOffers publisher network each have their own page. The Impact affiliate partner marketplace and the Rakuten Advertising publisher network have their own pages too.

Each has its own terms, its own payout rules and its own rates. Read the page for the one you are weighing.
