Expedia Group is a global travel company operating the Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo brands, covering over 3 million properties, 500+ airlines, cruises, packages, car rentals, and more than 220,000 activities. Its affiliate program, run through the Expedia Group creator and affiliate hub, pays a percentage of qualifying transactions that varies by product line: hotels typically earn 3% to 6%, car rentals around 2%, and cruises and vacation packages up to 6%. Referrals are tracked with a 7-day cookie window, so bookings completed within a week of the click are attributed to the affiliate. The program is managed in-house, with commission payments distributed through Partnerize. Affiliates can promote all three brands with deep links, banners, and a link-building toolbox, and a mobile Creator Toolbox app lets partners generate links, download property imagery, and check performance on the go. A Travel Shops feature in beta allows creators to build curated, shoppable collections with commissionable video content. Applications are free and reviewed quickly, and the program accepts a wide range of publishers. It fits travel content sites, deal publishers, and social creators who want a single program spanning lodging, flights, packages, and vacation rentals rather than accommodation alone.

Flights

One of the few large OTA affiliate programs where flights are commissionable at all, making it relevant for fare-deal and route-guide publishers. Flight margins are thin, so most affiliates pair flight content with hotel and package links, which pay up to 6%.

Hotels

Hotel and vacation rental bookings are the strongest earners here, paying roughly 3% to 6% across more than 3 million properties on Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo. Deep links to individual properties and downloadable property imagery help hotel-focused sites convert.

Travel

Expedia Group's program covers the full trip in one place: lodging across Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo, plus flights, cars, cruises, and activities. The 7-day cookie is longer than several major OTA competitors, and the single dashboard spanning three household-name brands makes it an efficient core program for general travel publishers.
