Trivago affiliate alternative — 5% commission, 90-day cookie, MIT widget

If you've been waiting weeks for Trivago to approve you — or watching their cookie expire after 30 days — you're in the wrong program. We pay 5%, cookie 90 days, no approval queue.

What this is

This page targets the long-tail "Trivago affiliate alternative" search. Direct comparison: commission, cookie, approval speed, climate, source-availability.

Why partners switch from Trivago

Can I run both?

Yes — nothing exclusive. Stack programs and watch which converts. We usually win on the longer cookie.

Switching cost

Two minutes. Sign up, paste partner key into your existing widget config, redeploy. Existing pending commissions on the other side aren't affected.

FAQ

Will I lose my pending Trivago commissions if I switch?

No — they pay out separately. Run both for a quarter and decide.

Is your inventory smaller?

No — 1.7M hotels in 195 countries, comparable to Trivago's consumer site.

Why doesn't Trivago just match these terms?

They built their economics around big-OTA scale. The cost structure that funds Google Ads doesn't fit a community-affiliate model.

What does it cost?

€0 setup, €0 monthly. We pay you 5% on every confirmed booking your link drives.

How long is the cookie?

90 days. Click today, book in 89 days — you still earn the commission.

How is commission paid?

Monthly. Stripe / Wise / IBAN / PayPal / IMPT card / IMPT token. €50 minimum payout. Live tracker at swarm.impt.io/partners/dashboard.

Do my followers pay more?

No — same price as Booking.com or direct. Plus 1 tonne UN-verified CO₂ retired on Ethereum per booking. They lose nothing; you earn 5%.

How big is the inventory?

1.7M hotels in 195 countries via the IMPT.io hotel API. Live availability and pricing.

Is the widget really open source?

Yes — MIT licensed on GitHub. Fork it, self-host the front-end, hit our API for inventory and attribution.

Can I see real-time stats?

Yes — partner dashboard at swarm.impt.io/partners/dashboard shows clicks, bookings, earned, payable.

What's the catch?

There isn't one. We share 5 percentage points of the hotel commission with you and burn 1 t CO₂. Climate-positive affiliate, no upsell, no retainer.
