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.
