Affiliate FAQs

A Red Roof affiliate is a partner who earns money by directing online traffic to the Red Roof website, resulting in completed stays. As an affiliate, you can display a variety of our banners, text links and product links on your web site. Each time a visitor to your site clicks on one of these links and completes a stay at Red Roof, you earn a baseline 3% commission.

Our affiliate program pays a baseline 3% commission on completed stays.

Joining our program is absolutely free!

An affiliate is only paid upon the completion of the customer’s stay. If a booking is cancelled or not completed, you will not receive commission on that transaction.

We offer a 30-day cookie duration. That means you can earn commission up to 30 days after someone clicks on your Red Roof ad and makes a reservation with us.  You will only be paid on that commission once the customer completes their stay at Red Roof.

Red Roof prohibits affiliates from bidding on trademarked terms or any phrases including the trademark (red roof, redroof.com, red roof inn, red roof promotions, etc.) or those containing misspellings in any search engine without prior written consent. We welcome affiliates to bid on generic keywords. Direct linking is not allowed.

Each Red Roof banner or text link that you post on your website contains special HTML code that is used to track your sales. This code allows Commission Junction to associate all of the activity that occurs through the link with your specific affiliate account. Every time someone clicks on one of these links, makes a reservation or completes a stay, your affiliate account will be credited with the corresponding commission. You will also have access to detailed reports within the Commission Junction interface.
