What is an affiliate?

An affiliate is someone who recommends Don’t BUGMe I’m On Vacation to people who may find it useful — and earns a commission when a Road Trip Pass is purchased through their referral.

Affiliates can be businesses, brands, creators, organizations, or individuals.

What is the BUGMe Affiliate Program?

The affiliate program rewards people who help others discover and use the Road Trip Pass.

Instead of spending heavily on traditional advertising, BUGMe directs marketing dollars to affiliates who:

  • Share something genuinely useful

  • Help travelers save money

  • Support independent tourism

How does the affiliate program work?

Once approved as an affiliate, you’ll receive:

  • A unique referral link

  • A QR code

  • A promo code

  • Promotional materials (“creatives”)

You promote BUGMe to your audience and when someone purchases a Road Trip Pass through your link or QR code, you earn a commission.

How much do affiliates earn?

Affiliates currently earn:

  • $25 CAD per Road Trip Pass sold

Commission rates may change in the future, and any updates will be communicated clearly.

Do vacationers get a benefit when purchasing through an affiliate?

Yes.

When vacationers use an affiliate’s promo code:

  • They receive $20 off the Road Trip Pass

  • The affiliate still earns their regular commission

This encourages travelers to purchase through affiliates rather than directly through BUGMe.

My business already offers Road Trip Pass savings. Why become an affiliate too?

Becoming an affiliate:

  • Creates an additional revenue stream

  • Helps offset the savings you offer

  • Allows you to earn from customers you attract through your own marketing

There is no cost to register, and affiliate participation is optional.

I run a blog or create content. How can I benefit?

If your audience is interested in road trips, travel, or authentic experiences, the affiliate program allows you to:

  • Increase value - offer yet another reason for your audience to follow you

  • Help your audience save money

  • Earn commissions without creating or managing a product

I’m just an individual — is it worth it?

You don’t need a large audience to participate.

Some individuals:

  • Share BUGMe with friends

  • Use their promo code for personal savings

  • Earn occasional commissions

It’s free to register, and there’s no obligation.
