Hotels

Option 1: Generic Hotels landing page

• Link directly to the Hotels landing page: https://hotels-affiliates.travelsupermarket.com/

Option 2: Deeplink to the destination search result

To do this take the link to our Hotels landing page (see URL above), populate the destination and date and hit search to get the deeplink URL. Keep in mind that once the date of departure has expired the user will be redirected to the generic destination landing page. See an example below of what this will look like for London Hotel searches:

• https://hotels-affiliates.travelsupermarket.com/hotels/London,England,United-Kingdom-c28501/2022-01-01/2022-01-02/2adults?placeId=P158584&placeName=place:London&sort=rank_a

• Redirecting deeplink into the generic destination page (default) upon date expiration
  • https://hotels-affiliates.travelsupermarket.com/Place/London.htm

Option 3: Deeplink into the specific Hotels page

• Lastly, you can also link to a named hotel by destination. You can do this by populating the destination and dates within the gadget and hit search.
• Here is an example of what a URL will look like for this result:
  • London:  https://hotels-affiliates.travelsupermarket.com/Place/London.htm
  • Then select Hotel of choice i.e. Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London: https://hotels-affiliates.travelsupermarket.com/hotels/Park-Plaza-Westminster-Bridge-London,London-c28501-h315921-details/2022-01-01/2022-01-02/2adults?sid=HRGEHLKlW3#header

How do TravelSupermarket pay Hotels Affiliate Commissions?

TravelSupermarket pay 5 % commission of the total booking value.

For example, if a user purchases a £100 Hotel then this will result in the following commission payable:

• Total booking value £100 x 5% = £5 commission

Car Hire

Option 1: Generic Car Hire landing page

• Link directly to the Car Hire landing page:  https://www.travelsupermarket.com/en-gb/car-hire/
• We wouldn’t advise on deeplinking to the search results page currently as we don’t have a dynamic rolling date variable within the URL, like for Holidays. Therefore, please avoid deeplinking to prevent expiration of search results once the date within the URL has elapsed.
• PLEASE NOTE:. Due to the current tracking set up, the commission will manually be amended from a static number (£1.04) to 5 % of the booking value.

Travel Insurance

Generic Travel Insurance landing page

• Link directly to the Travel Insurance landing page: https://www.travelsupermarket.com/en-gb/travel-insurance/

Holidays

Option 1: Generic Holidays landing page

Link users to our Holidays landing page using the following URL:

• https://www.travelsupermarket.com/en-gb/holidays/

Option 2: Deeplinking into search results

1. To do this you will need to prepopulate the search gadget with:

• City of departure
• Destination
• Departure date
• Number of nights
• Number of people

1. Click search and copy the URL link. This should look something like this:

• https://www.travelsupermarket.com/en-gb/holidays/results/5310a3fa823ab0522c0a32d4/54ad584b5218c8b2db215299/2017-11-06/7/?room=A2&f_min_guest_rating=3&preFilterTripAdvisor=true

1. If you are deeplinking into the Search Results page, you will need to make the following date amend to the “Holidays link”: This is because existing Holiday URLs have a fixed date, therefore if you choose a specific date the URL will expire after that date has elapsed:

• https://www.travelsupermarket.com/en-gb/holidays/results/5310a3fa823ab0522c0a32d4/54ad584b5218c8b2db215299/2017-11-06/7/?room=A2&f_min_guest_rating=3&preFilterTripAdvisor=true

1. In order to avoid this you will need to amend the date by replacing bold "2017-11-06" with "dynamic/14". This will ensure a 14-day rolling date. The URL structure should look something like this:

• https://www.travelsupermarket.com/en-gb/holidays/results/5310a3fa823ab0522c0a32d4/54ad584b5218c8b2db215299/dynamic/14/7/?room=A2&f_min_guest_rating=3&preFilterTripAdvisor=true

You are free to choose the length of time you would like the URL to roll over dates. For example, you can use 14 for a 14-day window, or 7 for 7 days, or 28 for 28 days.

Cookie Window

We operate a 30 days cookie window, except for Car hire and Holiday where we operate a 30-minute session window and last click attribution model. Only click outs and sales within this window will be validated.
