Airbnb
Airbnb states plainly that its publisher program is not accepting applications. Only the Creators and Demand programs remain open, and both are invitation-led.
About the Airbnb affiliate program
Airbnb’s help centre states the position directly: its affiliate programme is open to select publishing partners, influencers and bloggers across select markets, and — in its own words — the publisher programme is not accepting applications. That is the route a directory or comparison site would need, and it is closed. Two other routes remain. The Airbnb Creators programme takes social media influencers, and the Airbnb Demand Program takes bloggers; both are applications rather than open signups, both are limited to select markets, and Airbnb warns that review can take several weeks because of application volume and that it cannot give feedback on individual decisions. No commission rate, cookie window, payout threshold or affiliate network is published for any of these routes, so every commercial field here is empty. This listing is kept so the closure is discoverable rather than leaving the old figures circulating — the URL previously recorded here was an Impact login page rather than any Airbnb programme page.
