OPENROUTE AFFILIATE CHALLENGE

SHARE. EARN & WIN WITH OPENROUTE.

Your OpenRoute link could do more than earn you commission. It could put you at the top of the leaderboard — and in line for the grand prize.

From 15 October to 30 November 2026, share OpenRoute with people planning their next journey, drive confirmed bookings, and compete against other affiliates to see who can generate the most.

Every qualifying booking you generate still earns your 4% commission.

The more confirmed bookings you generate, the higher you climb. The affiliate at the top when the challenge ends takes the grand prize.

Two months. One winner. Your chance to make every share count.

GOOD TO KNOW

QUESTIONS
BEFORE YOU GO?

Here are some of the things travellers and operators want to know before using OpenRoute.

What is the OpenRoute Affiliate Programme?

The OpenRoute Affiliate Programme allows you to earn eligible commission by referring people to OpenRoute. You receive a unique affiliate link that you can share with your audience, community, friends or network. When a referral completes a qualifying booking through your link, the referral can be attributed to your affiliate account according to the programme terms.

Who can become an OpenRoute affiliate?

The programme can be used by people and organisations with an audience, community or network that may be interested in long-distance travel, trips or tours. This can include creators, travel pages, communities, student networks and other referral partners.

How do I earn?

You earn commission from qualifying bookings generated through your affiliate link, subject to the OpenRoute Affiliate Programme's applicable commission structure and terms. 4% commission.

How do I share OpenRoute?

Once registered, you can use your unique affiliate link through the channels available to you. You can share it directly, through social media, content, communities, websites or other appropriate channels.

Do I need to sell anything?

No. Your role is to refer people to OpenRoute, not operate the journey or handle the booking yourself. The customer can explore the available options and complete their booking through OpenRoute where online booking is available.

Can I see my referrals?

Your affiliate dashboard is where your available affiliate activity and referral information can be monitored, depending on the features enabled for the programme.

When do I get paid?

Commission payment timing depends on the OpenRoute Affiliate Programme's payment terms and the status of the qualifying booking. These terms should be clearly displayed when the affiliate programme is launched.

Do I need to have a large following?

Not necessarily. Affiliate value isn't only about follower count. A smaller audience or community that is genuinely interested in travel can be valuable when the referrals are relevant.

Can businesses or organisations become affiliates?

Yes, where they meet the OpenRoute Affiliate Programme's registration and participation requirements.
