We review each application carefully and determine eligibility at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to reject or remove sites at any time, for any reason. To learn more about the criteria we use in evaluating potential affiliates, please read our Affiliate Operating Agreement (see next section).

Yes. We do have special Affiliate Terms and Conditions that you need to agree to if you want to become a Marriott affiliate.

An application could be rejected if you:

  • Fail to provide a working URL on your application.
  • Provide a URL to a website that is still under construction.

If your application is declined due to the above, you can reapply to the program once you have a valid URL.

Reasons for a rejected application may also include, but are not limited to, a website or content that:

  • Contains hateful, violent, or offensive content.
  • Contains sexually explicit graphics or content.
  • Promotes discrimination of any type.
  • Promotes illegal activities or otherwise violates any applicable laws.
  • Uses misleading or fraudulent means to prompt clicks.
  • Fails to clearly state an online privacy policy to visitors.

An affiliate link is a unique URL assigned to a specific affiliate that contains unique tracking codes, enabling the affiliate to receive credit for sales driven from the traffic sent to the advertiser’s website.

Where you might post an affiliate link on your site depends upon your promotional methods. For example, a travel blogger might place a deeplink within their article when mentioning the name of a specific property, while also hosting a standard banner on their homepage. Essentially you will want to place the link where you anticipate users will be ready to click through with intent to potentially make a booking.

The latency period (or cookie tracking period) is the amount of time an advertiser such as Marriott allows its cookies to remain active for visitors that an affiliate refers to its sites.

As an affiliate, you can earn a commission on qualified hotel stays and vacation packages generated by encoded affiliate links.

Commissions are paid on the net base sales amount, excluding taxes, service fees, food and beverage, as well as cancelations of hotel reservations or returns of products. You will see the referral fee rate in the console upon becoming an affiliate.

Through your affiliate account dashboard, you can run reports on sales, commissions, clicks and conversion rates. As an affiliate, you earn commissions on completed hotel stays generated from affiliate encoded links.

Hotel Stays:

  • While the initial reservation is tracked, there is usually a pending period between the time of the initial reservation and when the stay is completed (i.e. guest checkout).
  • There is a delay between when check-out happens and when the completed stay shows up in the reporting interface. Please allow two to four weeks; the delay varies by property.

The Partnerize payment interface allows you to withdraw funds resulting from commission payments, directly into your bank account or PayPal account (where available). To receive a payment, you must provide your banking information by logging into your account dashboard and navigating to the Payments tab > Payment Settings.

You are responsible for the accuracy of entering all your banking information. Payments cannot be made if your banking information is incomplete.

You can set up multiple payment methods to get paid in more than one currency if desired. In order to do this, you must provide us with your payment details, and decide:

  • Which tracked currency commissions should be paid into those accounts (one or multiple)
  • In which currency the payment to that account should be made

In order to receive a payment, you must complete your payment method settings by including your banking details, currency preference, and minimum payment threshold in your affiliate account. Commissions are paid on the net base sales amount, excluding taxes, service fees, food and beverage, as well as cancelations of hotel reservations or returns of products. As an affiliate you receive your commission payments through the Partnerize platform. Payments are made on a bi-weekly schedule when minimum payment thresholds are met. Payment may be delayed if issues occur beyond payment processing control. You may elect to request payment automatically or set them to be received on a certain day of the month, and/or when a particular payment threshold amount if reached, or both.
