Travel & Hospitality Campaigns
Booking platforms, accommodation providers and travel services with commission confirmed after stay or departure.
Overview
About Travel & Hospitality Campaigns
Travel pays on completed intent, not on booking intent. A reservation can be cancelled, changed or simply not taken up, so advertisers confirm commission after the stay or the departure date rather than at checkout. The lag is real — sometimes months — and planning around it is the single biggest difference between publishers who do well here and publishers who give up.

What to expect
Campaign Highlights
The four things that most change how you plan traffic for this category.
- 1
Post-stay confirmation
Commission is validated once travel has happened, so approved balances trail booking dates by weeks or months.
- 2
Cancellation reversals
Cancelled and no-show bookings are reversed automatically; heavy cancellation ratios trigger a traffic review.
- 3
Seasonal rate movement
Advertisers raise payouts in low season and cap volume in peak weeks. Campaign briefs are updated in place.
- 4
Route and market limits
Many campaigns restrict origin markets or property regions, and those restrictions are enforced at conversion.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What publishers ask most often before applying to travel campaigns.
Why does travel commission take so long to approve?
Because it is only earned once the trip actually happens. Advertisers wait for the check-out or departure date to pass before confirming, which is standard across the whole vertical.
Are metasearch and price comparison accepted?
Generally yes. Comparison and metasearch placements are among the strongest performers here, provided prices and availability shown are pulled from a live source.
Can I bid on hotel or airline brand names?
No. Brand bidding is prohibited network-wide, and travel advertisers enforce it particularly aggressively because they compete for their own brand terms.
What happens with a cancelled booking?
The conversion is reversed before payout. If cancellations run far above the campaign norm, the advertiser may ask us to review the traffic behind them.
