To better explain why HotelsByCity.com's deal is so compelling we need to first explain how the reservation process takes place.
Our Competitors
- Customer books a Hotel online
- Customer goes to the Hotel (up to 12 months away)
- Customer checks out of the Hotel
Hotel pays Competitor a commission percentage - Competitor receives commission
- Competitor pays Commission to Affiliate (unless the reservation was cancelled, or customer was a no show, or the hotel decides not to pay a commission, etc.)
The Hotels By City Way!
- Customer books a Hotel online
- You receive a $10 Commission! (the very next calendar month)
The following example shows the difference if you were to send 10 bookings in a given calendar month.
The best available commission we have seen from any competitor is 5% of net booking amount*
*not including taxes, cancellations, or other fees

Our Competitors
- Based on industry standards 3 out of every 10 Hotel reservations are not
commissionable because of cancellations, no shows, or non-commissionable rates. - Based on industry standards the Avg hotel sale is for 2.1 nights is worth about $200.00 (or $100 per night)
- 5% of $200.00 is $10 (but...)
- Remember you only get paid on 7 of 10 reservations
- So on 10 Reservations you would earn $70.00 (which can take up to 120 days to come in)
The Hotels By City Way!
- We pay on 10 out of 10 bookings (regardless of whether the customer cancels, or the hotel doesn't pay)
- On 10 bookings you would receive 10 X $10 = $100 Commission! (the very next calendar month)
- That's 30% more commissions on every single Sale!
As with any good program, we also have increased commission tiers available for top performers!
Note: We don't currently have a way to track phone bookings, but if you do more then 5 sales a day we can gladly set you up with your own custom phone number.
If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to contact us:
