How does the affiliate program work? top

We grant you access to our system through your personalised username and password.

You download selected links or banners from us that you wish to use on your site.

•  Choose to promote the home page for all regions

•  Choose to promote a specific region for all properties

•  Or Choose to promote a specific accommodation property

You place a link on your website to any of the 1000's of landing pages on our site.

A visitor after linking from your site to our site communicates with us and you get paid for:

•  Online bookings,

•  Agency bookings

•  And reservation enquiries to our agents.

We track where the communication came from and pay you a commission! - It really is that easy.

You can place as many or as few HOWZAT links, banners and search boxes on as many web pages or websites as you wish, and the more links you add, the more sales you can expect! All communication is made directly with us, so you don't have to worry about handling money or dealing with guests. All you have to do is set up your links and then sit back and watch your commissions grow!

With your affiliate ID, we can track all the clicks and visitors you send us. So, after a visitor is redirected from your site to ours, we record that this visitor came from you.

Each visitor sent by you receives a cookie that remains active for 90 days (subject to special promotions), allowing us to track and pay you for the booking made by that visitor, even if he/she comes back to HOWZAT directly within 90 days from the initial click through.

How much does it cost to become an affiliate and how do I get started? top

It is absolutely FREE to become an affiliate. There are no application fees, set-up costs or minimum sales requirements.

Just fill in the application form, accept the terms & conditions and you will be approved instantly. We will then send you your ID and password, which you can use to log into the affiliate partner area. After that, all you need to do is cut and paste your unique affiliate ID code provided for you and set up your links. For a selection of HOWZAT affiliate banners and links, click here .
