Introducing TripShock Guest Rewards: The Affiliate Program for Property Managers and Vacation Rentals

| March 21, 2024 | 4 Min Read
We’re excited to unveil the next evolution of the TripShock Guest Rewards Program — a powerful tool that enhances your guest experience and drives incremental revenue for your business. Whether you manage a few vacation rentals or oversee a large hotel portfolio, this solution offers personalized booking experiences, marketing support, and seamless integration to set your property apart.

Unlike our traditional affiliate program that utilizes static links, Guest Rewards gives you a customizable, hands-off solution to provide value-packed perks to your guests — while you earn up to 50% revenue share on every activity booked.

What Is the TripShock Guest Rewards Program for Vacation Rentals?

TripShock Guest Rewards makes it easy for property managers and hosts to offer activity credits for local tours and attractions. Your guests enjoy a richer, more memorable vacation, and you earn affiliate commissions when those credits are redeemed.

Best of all? You only pay when the credits are used. That means there’s zero upfront cost or financial risk — unlike traditional perks or promotions that require you to spend money whether guests use them or not.

With TripShock Guest Rewards, you’re not handing out discounts or freebies that might go to waste. Instead, you’re offering a high-value benefit that only costs you when your guests actually redeem their activity credits — and even then, you’re sharing in the revenue from the booking.

By only paying when credits are redeemed — and earning a commission on each booking — you’re turning a guest perk into a reliable income stream. Hosts and property managers using Guest Rewards are already seeing thousands in additional revenue annually, all while offering guests a more memorable stay. It’s a low-risk, high-reward strategy that works for your bottom line.

Program Highlights:

  • Co-branded booking portal
  • Email automation and activity reminders
  • Customizable credit amounts
  • Easy dashboard management
  • Up to 50% commission share
  • No upfront cost for unused credits
  • Concierge support available 7 days a week
