De Vakantiediscounter affiliate program

dé VakantieDiscounter is since 2000 the online travel agency for guaranteed the best deal for your vacation. There are no hidden costs and as a customer you pay no booking fees. Dé VakantieDiscounter is affiliated with ANVR and SGR, which ensures certainty.

Not for nothing did Dé VakantieDiscounter grow to become the largest online travel agency in the Netherlands. The website was also voted the most popular travel website of 2022 and 2023.

Our own technical platform enables us to offer a large and diverse range of vacations with very high price availability. This, together with our user-friendly website, ensures highly competitive conversion rates and eCPCs.

The advantages of our affiliate program
The VakantieDiscounter is always looking for high-quality affiliate partners who can add value to our program with their unique reach.

Compensation
As an affiliate partner you will receive a fee (commission) based on the commissionable book price. The more transactions realized per quarter, the higher the commission. The maximum commission per transaction is €150.
The levels below will be reviewed quarterly. Publishers will be informed of any adjustments to the commission and scales.

Transactions per quarter - Commission
Gold > 500 4.0%
Silver > 100 - 499 3.5%.
Standard 0 - 99 3.0%

This commission - combined with our strong conversion rate - ensures a strong eCPC in both the Netherlands and Belgium. For publishers active in both the Netherlands and Belgium, the combined number of transactions across both campaigns applies for the staffing allocation.

Program conditions

Judging of transactions
Transactions are vetted based on book date. We aim to inspect 30 days after the transaction date. Inspections take place weekly, usually on Fridays. Of course, this may vary occasionally.

Duplication of transactions
The VakantieDiscounter attaches great importance to the affiliate channel within its online media mix. Transactions will therefore only be rejected in the following cases:
- In case of incorrect and/or duplicate registrations (within the affiliate channel and/or other online media channels of dé VakantieDiscounter);
- Trip cancellations;
- In case of exceeding the program conditions.
Deduplication takes place based on last click counts against paid non-branded marketing campaigns. This does not apply to branded SEA campaigns, SEO traffic or direct traffic.

To still reward affiliate partners for their contribution to these deduplicated transactions, these bookings will not be rejected in their entirety. The respective bookings will be adjusted to 25% of the commission value. In practice, this ensures very few rejections and a high average eCPC.
