Expedia
Major OTA for flights, hotels and packages. On CJ it runs as separate country programmes — there is no US programme on the network.
About the Expedia affiliate program
Expedia is on CJ Affiliate as a set of country programmes rather than one global one — the UK, Ireland, France, Germany/Austria/Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Belgium & Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina all have their own advertiser IDs. There is no Expedia US programme on CJ; that one runs through Expedia Group directly. Terms verified against Expedia UK (advertiser 5288967), whose current rate card pays 4% on conventional lodging, 4% on activities, 2% on vacation rentals, 2% on packages, 1.5% on car hire and 0% on flights and cruises. The referral period is 7 days with unlimited occurrences and open-ended locking, and Expedia notes the window covers any booking made within it, not only the product you linked to. Applications are reviewed manually. Any sale made with a coupon pays zero unless you have agreed a voucher rate in advance, rail is non-commissionable, and Expedia protects a long list of brand terms across its whole portfolio — Hotels.com, Orbitz, Hotwire, Travelocity, Vrbo, Wotif and others — for bidding, display URLs and domain names alike.
