The review
Booking.com offers a free travel affiliate programme covering stays, flights, car rentals, attractions and airport taxis, with public registration directing publishers to CJ. Its affiliate support guide describes tiered revenue sharing and fixed flight fees for Partner Center accounts, but publishers should verify their applicable commission scheme and payout terms when joining.
What works
- Free registration with commissions across five travel product categories.
- Accommodation revenue share increases from 25% to 40% with monthly stayed-booking volume.
- Property and destination affiliate links, banners and a transaction reporting API are available.
- Commissions across products contribute to one combined payout balance.
Watch out for
- Accommodation percentages apply to Booking.com revenue, not the full booking value.
- Cancelled, fraudulent and no-show bookings earn no commission.
- Commission is calculated two months after travel completion, with payment usually another 2–3 weeks after the credit slip.
- The supplied sources do not disclose an attribution window or confirm whether Partner Center terms also apply to CJ accounts.
