Tripadvisor
Tripadvisor is unusual among travel affiliate programs because qualifying hotel revenue can be earned on a click-out from Tripadvisor to a hotel booking partner; the visitor does not need to complete a hotel booking. Its public page advertises a minimum 50% share of Tripadvisor’s received commission and a 14-day referral window.
