An Affiliate Program allows you to place links to our hotels on your web site. By placing these links on your website, visitors to your site have the opportunity to reserve our hotels through your link. If an InterContinental Hotels Group Hotel is reserved as a result of a visitor linking from your website directly to ours, we will pay you a commission.

Affiliating with the InterContinental Hotels Group will provide you with the ability to offer hotel bookings from your Web site at some of the most well known hotels in the world- all while earning commissions. We handle the entire reservation process including billing and customer service. All you do is promote our hotels on your web site, generate bookings, then collect your commissions.

First, you must read and accept our Affiliate Agreement. Then, you complete our online application form. After your application is submitted, we will contact you to let you know if you've been accepted as an Affiliate, and we will provide you with information on how to get started.

An Affiliate Program allows you to make money by referring customers to our web site. You do this by placing links on your site. Every time you refer a customer to us and that customer reserves a hotel and stays, you earn a commission. In every month that you have earned more than £15, we send you a cheque. It's that easy!

Anyone may submit an application, but we do reserve the right to refuse membership to a site or revoke a site's membership at any time if we deem that it contains objectionable material.

The only thing you are responsible for is using the tag generator on Reporting.net to create and place links on your site. We handle everything else.

back to top

We will provide you with the tools and support you need to maximise sales through your site. We also handle all bookings for customers you refer to us.

back to top

Unfortunately not. In order for us to accept you as an Affiliate, we must be able to view your web site.

back to top

You can have multiple sites under one affiliate account. You can create links specifically for each site and generate separate reports for each site. You will receive one commission cheque for all sites.

Once you have been accepted as an Affiliate, you will be given access to Reporting.net. Your account information can be modified through Reporting.net.

Our Affiliate Program is a revenue-sharing program. It is not designed to help you increase traffic to your site; however, it enhances your site with content, so your user return rate may be higher.

SETTING UP LINKS

We have an automatic tag generator on Reporting.net that creates HTML that you cut and paste into your web site. It is so easy to use even beginners can create links in seconds. The tag generator allows you to create hundreds of types of links to our products.

back to top

You should place links where they are easy for your site visitors to find, such as your homepage. Some areas you may want to place your links include your home page, your navigation bar, and any other traffic areas. If you place the links in an easily accessible location on your site, your visitors will be more likely to reserve a hotel room.

back to top

You should update links to our products as often as you can. We are constantly adding new promotions and hotels, so you should create new links that fit the interests of your visitors.

TRACKING, PAYMENT, AND REPORTING

You will earn 3% commission on consumed bookings that are generated from your website. A sale is considered consumed upon cheque out by the guest for the hotel stay booked through the InterContinental Hotels Group Affiliate Program.

Good performing affiliates can qualify for higher commission.

back to top

We offer 7 return days (i.e. 7 day cookie) for users that come through your site to research hotels, and then return directly to an InterContinental Hotels Group site to make a booking within seven days of the original visit.

back to top

We can't predict how much you will earn from our Affiliate Program because we don't know anything about your web site or your visitors. However, there is no limit on how much you can earn if you are able to generate consumed hotel bookings from your web site.

back to top

Through Reporting.net, you can access reports, which are updated daily, that provide information on impressions, click-throughs, consumed bookings, and commissions earned.

Note: you will be able to see the number of bookings made from your site on a daily basis, but he number of 'consumable' bookings will be updated on a monthly basis.


back to top

We will send you a cheque for a percentage of the sales you referred to our site every month provided you earned more than £15.

If you do not meet the minimum of £15 in any one month, your total will be 'rolled over' to the next month and you will be paid when you hit the £15 level.

back to top

Yes. When you reserve and stay at our hotel through a link on your web site, you earn the same commission on your stay that you would from a visitors stay.

back to top

If a user cancels their reservation, or if credit card charges are reversed due to a dispute or credit card fraud, your account will be debited for any commission already earned on that transaction.

back to top

You can monitor your sales by accessing reports as often as you like through Reporting.net.

back to top

We do all of that for the customers that you refer to our site. All you have to do is place links on your site. We do the rest!

back to top

All links from your site to our site contain a unique identifier so that every time a user comes to us via your site, we know to credit you when a booking is made. This is only possible though, when you create all of your links with the tag generator on Reporting.net. If you attempt to alter the code in any way, your tracking will be lost, resulting in lost commissions to you.

back to top

You can run reports daily if you wish. Reporting.net, our reporting web site, is updated daily with the latest information about your site.

back to top

Yes. You can have multiple sites under one Affiliate account. You can create links and generate reports specifically for each site, but you will receive one commission cheque for all of your sites. To set up an account with multiple sites, please contact us at uk-affiliates@ichotelsgroup.com with the names and URLs of the additional sites.
