    The Expedia affiliate program — how to join & earn

    Expedia Group sits behind a family of travel brands, and its affiliate program lets you earn on hotels, flights, car hire, activities and packages booked through your links. How much you make depends heavily on what the traveller books: a hotel stay or an experience pays reasonably, while flights earn next to nothing, which is normal across the sector. Expedia also runs separate sites for different countries, so a reader in London and a reader in Sydney should each land on their own version rather than the US one.

    How to join the Expedia affiliate program

    1. 1

      Have a travel site, blog or channel with content that genuinely helps people plan trips; Expedia reviews applicants for relevance and quality.

    2. 2

      Join the network Expedia uses in your region, usually CJ Affiliate or Partnerize, and complete your publisher profile.

    3. 3

      Apply to the Expedia program, then use the link tools and travel widgets to build tracked links once you are approved.

    Free to join, run through CJ Affiliate or Partnerize depending on your territory.
    Commission is set per product: hotels and activities earn the most, flights the least.
    7-day cookie, so the booking needs to be made within a week of the click.
    Separate country sites (Expedia US, UK, Canada, Australia and more) each track and pay on their own.
    As with most travel programs, commission is confirmed after travel is completed, so payouts can take weeks to months to clear.

    Turn your Expedia affiliate link into one smart link

    CJ Affiliate / Partnerize (by region) links are long and ugly, and they only ever point one place. Wrap your tagged Expedia link in a Geo-Smart-Link and you get a clean, short gsl.li URL you can change anytime — with a dynamic QR code, click analytics, and A/B testing behind it, on every plan.

    Route by country

    Expedia runs stores in US, UK, Canada, Australia. Send each shopper to their local storefront from one link, with your tag for that market.

    Short & editable

    A tidy gsl.li link instead of a long tracking URL — and you can change where it points without re-sharing it.

    A dynamic QR

    Put your Expedia link on a video thumbnail, pin board or print — a scannable code that inherits the same routing and tracking.

    See the clicks

    Clicks by country, device and source, bots filtered — so you know which content drives your Expedia commissions.
