Our verdict on each
Agoda Affiliate
Agoda Affiliate pays 5% on every completed booking, a rate that rewards publishers already sending warm traffic to hotel pages rather than building a long comparison table. The 1 cookie window is the catch, so it suits last-minute booking intent and flash deals more than slow research journeys.
eSky Partners
eSky Partners is a global travel programme for publishers already selling flights and holidays, and it runs through CJ Affiliate. Commissions run up to 10% per sale, the cookie window is 30 days, and payouts follow within 14 days monthly, with the group trading since 2004.

Pros and cons
Agoda Affiliate
Pros
- Commission of 5% on a completed booking, with no lead to qualify first.
- Reach is global, so a publisher is not tied to a single market.
- A direct programme rather than a referral scheme, and it also appears on FlexOffers and Travelpayouts.
Cons
- The 1 cookie window is short, ranking 121 of 129 brands on that measure, so slow research traffic rarely converts.
- Recurring commission is no, so each booking has to be won again with a new click.
- Payouts wait for $50, above the €43.85 site median, which slows early earnings.
eSky Partners
Pros
- Direct access: direct means a publisher deals with eSky Partners itself, with CJ Affiliate named as the route in.
- A regular payout cycle, with commissions paid within 14 days monthly, which is easier to plan around than an ad hoc schedule.
- A 30 day window covers a reader who reads a guide and checks a fare before booking, the normal buying pattern in travel.
Cons
- The rate is capped at up to 10% per sale, well short of Divebooker Distribution Partner's 30% revenue share per liveaboard booking on liveaboard bookings.
- A 30 day window is the ordinary travel figure while travel programmes here reach 90 days, so late decisions credit elsewhere.
- Coverage is narrow, with travel as the only vertical, so a generalist site has no second category to promote from the same links.
Who each suits
Agoda Affiliate
Who it suits
- Publishers with hotel deal pages and city break guides whose readers book the same day.
- Anyone already approved on FlexOffers and Travelpayouts who wants a travel offer to place in an existing flow.
- Publishers targeting readers abroad, since reach is global.
Who should look elsewhere
- Not for a cashback referral audience: CashKaro pays a share of what a friend earns back, which fits people already loyal to a cashback site.
- Not for creators selling inside a shopping marketplace: Naver Shopping Connect pays commission per sale or booking through a link.
- Not for a specialist travel niche: Divebooker Distribution Partner pays revenue share per liveaboard booking, so a focused dive audience can be worth more than broad hotel volume.
eSky Partners
Who it suits
- Publishers with converting travel traffic, since the offer covers travel only and rewards completed bookings.
- Anyone who wants a direct relationship with the advertiser: direct with CJ Affiliate as the named network.
- Audiences spread across several markets, because the offer is global rather than tied to a single market.
Who should look elsewhere
- Divebooker Distribution Partner readers who want a larger slice of each booking: it pays 30% revenue share per liveaboard booking.
- CashKaro readers after referral cashback: CashKaro pays 10% of friend's cashback, not commission on a travel booking.
- Publishers after a shopping offer rather than a travel one: Naver Shopping Connect pays Commission per sale or booking via link.
Questions about each
Agoda Affiliate
How much does Agoda Affiliate pay?+
Commission is 5% per completed booking, and it is paid on the booking rather than the click or the lead. That makes the rate straightforward to weigh against a hotel page's conversion rate: a small percentage of a confirmed stay, paid once, with the completed booking as the trigger.
How long is the cookie window?+
The cookie window is 1, short for a travel programme, where the median on the comparison is 30. On this measure the brand ranks 121 of 129 listed brands, so content has to reach a reader who books the same day.
eSky Partners
What commission does eSky Partners pay?+
The programme pays up to 10% per sale for a completed sale, which is the headline rate rather than a guaranteed return on every link. The rate suits publishers with existing travel traffic, since volume and product mix decide the final take.
How long is the cookie window?+
Attribution runs for 30 days after a click, which is the common window for travel offers. A reader who compares fares and reads guides over several visits still credits, but a much later booking falls outside the window.
