Commissions
Tracking
Our tracking mechanism is simple, accurate and reliable. Tracking is done via a 6-7 digit Client ID number appended to the back of the URL, with no cookie window or redirects. We credit all bookings made through a link with your Client ID to you - no fuss.

Reporting and analytics
Our online reporting tool makes it easy to track your bookings, commission earnings, and commission pay-outs. For affiliates tracking keyword conversions and campaign effectiveness, we support Google analytics. Simply send us your account number.

Payment
Commissions are paid monthly, on the 15th, via checque or bank transfer. Accounts earning less than £30 in commissions during the current month will continue to accrue and will be paid according to the monthly schedule once the £30 threshold is met.

Commission rates
We offer attractive commission rates for all bookings customers make on your site, minus cancellations. For more information, refer to our Terms and Conditions page during sign-up. See the table below:
