To All Affiliates

I wanted to invite you to join the Intercontinental Hotels affiliate program which launched a few weeks ago. Our brand new program provides your users with access to over 3,300 hotels and 515,000 guest rooms in nearly 100 countries and territories around the world.


Our popular hotel brands include:

- Holiday Inn

- Express by Holiday Inn

- InterContinental Hotels and Resorts

- Crowne Plaza Hotels

- Staybridge Suites


Commission/Earning Potential
--------------------------------------------

- Earn 3% commission on consumed bookings that are generated from your site. Good performing affiliates can earn higher commission.

- A consumed booking is defined as once the room has been paid for - i.e. the guest checks out of the room.

- We offer a 7 day cookie and pay commissions monthly, once you've earned £30 in commissions per payment cycle.

- The average booking is in excess of £100, with some bookings being in excess of £1000 so it is possible to earn good levels of revenue from our program.


Reporting
-------------

You will see the number of bookings that your site has generated on a daily basis - the number of bookings that have been 'consumed' will be updated each month via a batch file. There is usually only a small percentage of bookings that do NOT go on to be 'consumed' so you will have a good idea of how much payment you will receive from the daily stats.


Creative
-----------

A wide range of creative is available for all of our brands.


Other Info
-------------

The program was launched in the USA around 8 months ago and a number of affiliates are earning high levels of revenue. By booking direct with us, your users benefit from our Lowest Internet Rate Guarantee which means they will not find a lower price for the same room anywhere on the Internet! - this in itself is a very strong message. Couple this with our very strong brand names and you have a very strong proposition for your users.

Rest assured, I am fully aware of the issues that face affiliates and the support needed - I will be available for any questions/queries you may have regarding the program once you join.
