Frequently Asked Questions:

What is your affiliate approval process?

We’re looking for content creators in travel or food related channels for all our tours and food box products, who actively post regularly on their channels, get good viewership numbers and have good engagement.

Engagement is always a bigger deal to us than pure follower count – it’s our best indicator of your content and how you connect to your audience.

There’s no fixed criteria on minimum viewership. We also look closely at the quality of content you’d like to produce with us, and we strongly prefer permanent articles/videos combined with social media posts, rather than just simple social media posts/stories. With our affiliates, we always find that the more time they put into the collaboration, the more money they make.

How commission works:

We offer reward-based commission on sales (not clicks). Instead of an affiliate link, we give you a unique Promo Code that you can give to your audience. You earn 5% commission from each sale that the promo code was used, and your audience receives a $5 USD discount on their tour booking. A win-win!

The Promo Code does not expire, so even if the audience sees your content and uses the code months later, you’re still rewarded.

Your monthly report:

At the end of every month, we’ll send you a PDF report that details every sale made with your unique promo code.

The report will show you which tour(s) were purchased, the date of the tour, the number of people booked on the tour, the total booking value, and your commission amount.

How and when you get paid:

You are paid only after the tour(s) has taken place, not immediately after purchase because we have a flexible cancellation policy (another thing to keep your audience at-ease while booking).

Payment is made on the 10th of every month for tours that occurred during the previous calendar month. For example, tours running between January 1-31 pay out on February 10. We payout in USD (everyone outside of China) or RMB (within China).

We have an official USD and RMB rate for all our tours, set before the start of each year. This keeps expectations consistent between us, our partners, and vendors, so we don’t constantly renegotiate minor market fluctuations. If the tour was purchased in USD, but you’ve selected to be paid in RMB, your commission will be calculated based on our official RMB rate for that tour.

USD payout methods include:

PayPal
ACH Bank Transfer for bank accounts in the USA

RMB payout methods:

WeChat
Alipay

We do not offer any tax deductions or Chinese fapiao receipts for this program.
