Tripadvisor's affiliate program is unusual: for stays it pays a minimum 50% share of the commission Tripadvisor earns when a referred user clicks out to a hotel booking partner. Crucially, no actual booking is required, only the click-out, which lifts conversion materially. You sign up through CJ; the official affiliates page confirms CJ as the network partner that handles link generation, user tracking and payouts. The 14-day referral window credits return visits that click out within that span.
