How does the program work?
When you join the Affiliate Program, you will be given your own unique affiliate ID. When a customer clicks a link containing your affiliate ID, a cookie will be activated in the browser, and the click will be registered in your account. If this person makes a purchase, a commission will be credited to you. Here is an example of an affiliate ID embedded at the end of the link: http://www.taketours.com/cgi-bin/ivyu.cgi?gid=225444.

5% for vacation packages with a duration of 5 days or more, 4% for tours with 4 days or less, and 3% for bus services and hotels. (Greyhound bus services and Private tour services are excluded from the affiliate program)
