    At last! At last!

    A tour holiday operator with a decent rate of commission - (well not bad <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif" /> )

    Thomson holidays have just joined cj and are paying 1.5% commission (capped to a max of $30 per holiday)

    They are part of "The World of TUI", cloak it, hide it, disguise it, veil it in allegory, its still part of the same company.

    www.world-of-tui.com/en/c...ch=country

    Which run the Lunn Poly program on TD, whereby imho Lunn Poly would make the first team for worst affiliate programs, but to balance the comment Britannia Direct has made 7 sales from 1155 clicks, with their network epc half of what is was 3 months ago. (Lunn Poly 10906 clicks for £14 commission = 0.13 pence per click).

    Lunn Poly won't get kicked off because it looks pretty as part of the portfolio, being a so called "big brand".

    Safer bets are Opodo, Expedia, Travelforless, Cottage4You and maybe Lastminute (when tracking is fully fixed), I hear possiblities for Priceline, but that depends if they reply to emails.

    All I can suggest is exercise on the side of caution - Once Bitten Twice Shy..but what do I know.

    However with any holiday company life this, you should get paid for a brochure request, say 60p to £1, as most sales are made by phone or nipping to the high street branch.

    Has anyone been approved yet? I could really do with the Thomson brand to boost my sales since the demise of First Choice on DGM. If I don't start upping my earnings soon, I will seriously need to look at the latest money making offers that have landed in my inbox from a Nigerian businessman or that Zimbabwe farmers son!

    The World Of TUI seem to be having problems with CJ, as Britannia have now extended their transactions due to non payment!

    how are you guys looking to make big dosh with Thompson? by deep linking or a banner? i can only make travel work with deep links and standalone sites. I never understood how guys make money from travel sites you cant deep link to and add your private label too.

    right. I just wondered why people seemed to be getting excited abpout this proram. Personally the only way i've been able to make travel pay is by giving each program a dedicated site and using private labelling. So i just wondered how this program can make bucks without doing that.

    Any chance of letting interested affiliates know weather they have been approved or not, so that they can start planning/adapting their sites with Thomsons creative?

    Hello All,

    The Thomson programme is now tracking properly and publishers are being approved as I write.....

    As a gesture of goodwill Thomson have decided to up the Commission Structure to 2% (capped at $85 per booking) till the 30th of September.

    Once again we apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

    Best regards
    Steph
