Referral program

If you know content creators, bloggers, or businesses that could benefit from Travelpayouts platform, we offer a referral program that rewards you for spreading the word.

Note
Starting from April 6, 2025 the referral program operates under a fixed bonus model based on how much your referrals earn on the platform.

Invite new partners to Travelpayouts and receive fixed rewards when they start earning on our platform. Your referrals also get bonuses for their first steps and results.

How it works

You copy your referral link in your Travelpayouts dashboard.
You share it with creators, publishers, or developers interested in travel monetization.
Invited creators sign up for Travelpayouts via your link and become your referrals.
We pay rewards:
— to you — when your referrals reach earning milestones and receive their payouts
— to your referrals — for onboarding actions and earnings milestones

What you can earn

Rewards for you

You can earn up to $600 in total for each referred partner.

Rewards are credited to your balance after your referral:

Reaches the required earning milestone; and
Successfully receives a payout of that earning amount.

Milestones:

$100 — when your referral earns first $500 and receives a payout
$200 — when your referral earns a total of $1,500 on their balance and receives their payout
$300 — when your referral reaches a total of $3,000 on their balance and receives their payout

Remember, that balance is updated based on confirmed bookings only. Rewards are credited separately for each milestone.

There is no limit to how many partners you can invite — the more active referrals you have, the more you can earn.

Rewards for your referrals

Your referrals can earn up to $100 in total.

Rewards are credited after the referral reaches the milestone and successfully receives a payout. Milestones:

$25 — after registering via your referral link and installing the Travelpayouts code on their website, if they have one
(this reward becomes available for withdrawal after the partner earns $50 in confirmed bookings)
$25 — when they earn first $100 in confirmed bookings and receive their payout
$50 — when they earn the total of $1,000 in confirmed bookings and receive their payout

Important About the First $25

The $25 reward for registration and code installation is credited after the code is installed on the website, so it applies only for referrals with websites.

This reward:

cannot be withdrawn immediately
becomes available for withdrawal only after the partner earns at least $25 in confirmed bookings

All other referral rewards can be withdrawn without additional conditions.

Important to know

Only bookings with the “Confirmed” status are counted in the balance and payouts
Cancelled bookings and bookings with the “Processing” status are not counted
There are no time limits — partners can reach the required earnings milestones at their own pace.

Important: Referral rewards are paid from Travelpayouts’ own funds. You do not take any part of your referred partner’s earnings.

Important! Registering your own accounts using your referral link is prohibited.
In case of violation, we reserve the right to disable your participation in the referral program without paying any rewards.

FAQ

How is this different from the old referral program?

The new program is milestone-based with fixed rewards. If you referred partners under the old program, their terms remain unchanged. New referrals will follow the updated rules.

Can I invite partners without websites?

Yes, you can invite partners with any type of project. However, the additional $25 bonus for installing the Travelpayouts code is available only for referrals with websites.

I invited a partner with social media only, and they added a website later. Will they get the $25 bonus?

No. In this case, the $25 reward for code installation is not granted. All other rewards based on earnings milestones remain available.

In which currency are referral bonuses paid?

All referral bonuses are fixed in US dollars (USD). If you use a payout method in another currency in your Travelpayouts account, the amount is automatically converted at the exchange rate on the referral reward credit date.

We use official exchange rates from https://openexchangerates.org/

I have referrals invited before April 6. What will happen to those rewards?

Referrals who joined Travelpayouts before April 6, 2025 will continue earning under the previous referral model.

This means:

you will keep receiving 7% of their earnings till the end of referral period
rewards will be paid for up to 2 years from the referral’s registration date, as originally agreed.

All new referrals invited on or after April 1st, 2025 are automatically enrolled in the new fixed bonus model based on confirmed bookings.

Is there a deadline to reach the milestones?

No, there is no time limit to reach these milestones. Your referrals can take their time and earn with Travelpayouts at their own pace. You will get your referral reward as soon as they reach required milestones.

Until my referral earns $500, I get nothing?

Yes. The referral reward will be credited to your balance only when all conditions of the referral program are met. This means the referral must reach the relevant qualified income milestone and then successfully withdraw funds from their Travelpayouts balance. Until these conditions are met, no referral reward is paid.

My referral earned $1,500. Do I get $300 or $200?

Rewards are credited separately for each milestone, after payout. In this scenario you receive:

$100 when your referral earns $500 and receives a payout
$200 when your referral earns $1,500 and receives a payout.

If they later reach $3,000 in commission and receive a payout, you receive an additional $300.

Can I invite multiple partners?

Yes. Your personal referral link works for multiple referrals.

How to track statistics and my referral’s achievements?

Stats will be available in your Referral program page as soon as your link will start generating clicks. Learn more here.

Can partners who are working under the old terms be moved to the new terms?

No, this is not possible. If a partner is working under the old terms, they will continue to work under those terms. They cannot be moved to the new terms within the current setup.

How to invite referrals who will actually start earning?

It’s important to focus not only on quantity, but on quality of invited partners. We have gathered best practices of inviting referrals here.
