- How do I subscribe to the Affiliate Programme? Subscribing to the Affiliate Programme is quickly done and is very easy. Please select the type of affiliate you'd like to become, either "Web Affiliate" or "Travel Agency" and read the according affiliate agreement.

This moves between 5 and 10%. Travel agencies receive 7% from the first booking. No minimum sales volume is required.

2. Questions about the booking
- What are the booking options? After you have registered with our affiliate programme you have the following possibilities to book SnowTrex offers:
- Integration on your website
You have your own website? The TravelTrex Affiliate Programme offers you various different opportunities for integrating our product. After you have logged in to your affiliate area you can find various advertising media for your website, such as banners, logos etc. and you can also create links yourself. Via tracking codes, which are included in the links, we can identify the customers who accessed us via your affiliate ID. As our Cookies are valid for 30 days we can still identify you as the referrer, even if the customers book via our website at a later stage - and even, if the customer chooses to access our website directly, instead of coming via your link. - Access to booking procedure for agencies
Please go to the agency log-in page for SnowTrex. There you enter your affiliate ID in the appropriate box and click on "Submit settings". Please make the booking immediately after you have sent the settings to our system.
- Integration on your website
- Can I book directly after registering? Directly after registering, you receive a 4-digit affiliate number. The activation of your affiliate account generally takes 1-2 working days. Should you be making a booking directly after your subscription to the our system, please let us know. Thereby we can gurantee that your affiliate code is activated directly and the booking can run into our system correctly.

- Reservations can generally be held for up to 24 hours,
- yet only until latest 4 weeks before travel,
- only one reservation is possible per customer or travel group,

- If a room is only bookable "on request", a reservation is not possible. When asking for a reservation, please note: these can only be made when stating your affiliate ID to our sales department via the phone, and the reservation only holds for 24 hours. After the deadline has expired and we have not received a reply from you (via phone or e-mail) the reservation expires automatically.
- What happens after the booking has been made? Do I receive information about the booking? After the booking has been made you receive a copy of the online booking via e-mail to the e-mail address which is saved in your affiliate area.
