Which HOTEL Affiliate Program is best?

I'm using Agoda on one site and it's fine.

Their affiliate tools section isn't the best. Their instructions on how to test your links are working are laughable too they actually say that to check it's working you should go ahead and book a hotel that has free cancellation, wait and see if the sale gets credited to you then cancel it....I mean seriously?

One more question (while I'm at it):

Anyone know of a theme, plugin or script that will allow me to build a travel/hotel site and somehow integrate with a hotel affiliate program? (if that makes sense... )

Thanks again.

Hotel Club option offer seems good. Here is how much they pay :

Yeah, HotelClub looks interesting. It's just odd that I've never heard of it before.

Anyone know of a solution similar to this with one of the more well-known players (like Hotels.com, Booking.com, Getaroom.com, Expedia, etc)

???

I know a guy who has been using this company for 2 yrs now. Says the reporting tools, service level and payout rates are great

World Choice Travel Partner Program

What country are you serving because there are better sites depending on the continent.

I recommend you join an affiliate Agoda. because there is a lot of very attractive discounts and captor that can make your customers

Yep HotelsCombined screwed me over at least 7K ... I would steer clear.

recently I have lost more than $8K with Agoda,
They has been banned terminate and forfeiture of my commission with irrelevant reason.
they don't pay my recent earning before banning.
Don't joint Agoda.

The other Agoda issue, they start skimming your affiliate ID, and replace with Agoda Staff CID.

Years ago I tried to join booking dot com but they declined me because I own too similar web domain. Then I joined Hotelscombined. I get small payments, but it was something small every 3-4 monts (depends their payment delay). Week ago HC contacted me: we found you have trafic but no bookings (you cant see bookings into statistic) so we turn payment counter to the zero.. I already feel every end-winter time they had payments problem. Some of the messages:

• 2014-03-26 - ... As a result of your recent lack of booking revenue, your lead values have been set to zero by the system.. So we will be more than happy to help assist you in getting your account back on track. ...

  IMPORTANT - Old search boxes being decommissioned on July 1, 2013

• 2012-05-01 -
  PayPal payments delayed for March
• 2011-04-01 -
  Delayed PayPal Payments
• 2010-06-28 -
  Affiliate Payments Delayed This Month Only

Nevertheless they get my traffic for last 2 weeks they stop me now with earning money because I have counter to ZERO. I tried to register again with new mail but one other guy send me mail: immediately remove all Hotelscombined scripts from the site regarding brand issues. I dont recomend building businees with HotelCombined it seems company destroy partenrship regarding new staff come or go / or their finantial problems. For me is Hotelsacombined scam and corporate shi*. Now im searching for fair-play partner.

How about Expedia.

Hi ,

so what is the good hotel site ?

Hotels Combined

The problem with all hotel affiliate programs is that you can easily not get paid if your prospects decide to put their hands on the phone and give the hotel a call. They can book a room over the phone, without you seeing a penny of the transaction.

It's customary for people to do this, so I'd just stay away from promoting hotels.

(Seriously, I wanted to enter in this niche, because writing about is lots of fun and enjoyable, but I'd rather not see my efforts go to waste...)

Hi guys,
I am going on with a tourism project which will include hotel reservation within my country i which to know the procedures to join each hotel as an affiliate to earn commissions.
