Who are Mindtrip’s commission partners?

• Booking.com is a leading online travel agency that specializes in hotels, vacation rentals, and other accommodations. With an extensive global network, it offers a wide variety of lodging options, from budget stays to luxury resorts.
• Viator, owned by TripAdvisor, focuses on tours, activities, and experiences. It provides access to thousands of excursions, guided tours, attraction tickets, and unique experiences across various destinations.
• Priceline is a popular online travel agency known for its discounted travel services, including hotels, flights, rental cars, and vacation packages. It offers flexible booking options and exclusive deals, especially through its “Express Deals” and “Name Your Own Price” features.

How do I earn commission?

Any Viator activity or hotel added to any guide (public or private) is eligible as long as it is able to be booked via Booking.com, Priceline or on-site on Mindtrip

You will receive credit for bookings made in the following ways:

1. Guide Bookings – When someone books a hotel or activity straight from your guide, whether it's public or private.
2. Planned Trip Bookings – When a user starts a trip from your guide using the "Plan a Trip" button and later books through it.
3. Shared Trip Bookings – When you create and share a Trip using the "Send a trip" action and the recipient books a hotel or activity that was already included at the time of sending.

How do I add a hotel?

To add a hotel: first, add the Place. Next, select ‘Stays’ and search for the hotel by name and add it to your guide.

How do I add a Viator activity?

To add a Viator activity: first, add the Place. Next, select ‘Activity’ and search for the Viator listing by name. If it doesn’t appear, open the chat to prompt the activity to load. Once it shows up, return to your guide and add it in.

When do I get paid?

Commissions aren’t final and “earned” until the customer checks-out of their hotel or does their activity. Mindtrip pays out earned commissions to you on the 28th of the 3rd month following the hotel stay or activity.

• For example: If a customer checks-out of their stay May 15th, you will receive your commission for that stay on August 28th. (This depends on when booking.com pays Mindtrip your commission)
