Hi Guys, I have a website at www.travel4kids.com.au that uses the HC affiliate program at hotels.travel4kids.com.au/ A lot of the other HC affiliate sites I have seen like dohop.com and www.hotelprimer.com seem to be able ot add better headers and footers to their site. What is the trick for doing this? Are they using frames or is it a script? Thanks Richard

The HotelsCombined Affiliate Program Review of Affiliates TRUTH Is HotelsCombined Safe ? NOT AT ALL! Is HotelsCombined Legit ? NOT AT ALL! Is HotelsCombined Reliable ? NEVER! Has HotelsCombined ever paid even one of their affiliates ? NOPE! Not EVER, Not even one person has been paid one cent by them that I know of and I know several people who where HotelsCombined affiliates. Once they reach $100 (which takes FOREVER) then they suspend your account permanantly and ignore ALL of your emails. They are non-trustworthy THIEVES! Is HotelsCombined a Scam ? 100% YES FOR SURE...they are lying crooks, NO DOUBT!! If anyone signs up as a HotelsCombined affiliate, they will never be paid any commision, not matter what. The company was awarded world's best hotel price comparison site last year after their popularity literally sky-rocketed after they received record-breaking website traffic...who sent them their traffic? HotelsCombined affiliates did. HotelsCombined is a fake and they will use people in any way to get website traffic. They lie to people say "please do this, please do that" to YOUR website until a steady flow of traffic is coming to them directly from your site/blog. BUT, after awhile, they will suspend your HotelsCombined affiliate account permantly where you can never sign into your account again. However, they will continue receiving traffic from all of your many links that are on your personal websites, blogs, Twitter accounts, Facebook accounts...any website or social media site where you put an "affiliate link" directed towards HotelsCombined. They will tell all their HotelsCombined affiliates that the suspension is temporary and for their personal purposes to "make sure everything is A-OK before payment", but then you will NEVER hear back from them again because they will block your e-mail address that is associated with your affiliate account. An automated e-mail will be sent to you, it is "robot-generated" by a computer machine and is signed "July" or "Roy" (no last name). If you report them on any type of scam-reporting website (such as this one)...they will post threatening comments saying that they are a reputable company with hundreds of thousands of profitable affiliate partners, etc. etc. etc., blah..blah, LIES! These comments are also signed by "July" and are not commented by real people, but computer-generated. My "fake e-mail" from them said this: Dear Oscar, I can assure you that there is a valid reason why your account was suspended recently. It is clearly mentioned in our Affiliate Agreement and FAQs that although we pay per leads, we require some of your users to generate revenue for our suppliers. We earn revenue from commissions from our hotel suppliers, and we cannot afford to pay for non-converting traffic that doesn't generate any revenue. If you could email us directly at affiliate@hotelscombined, instead of replying, and provide us with your affiliate ID, we will review your account statistics and get back to you with a more detailed explanation. To clarify, we have no control over your domains and websites. You are free to remove our content from your site or delete any redirection of your domains to our site at any time. Regards, July After receiving this one email and finding that my account was totally blocked too, I could no longer reply or send an e-mail with my email that I had used with them as an affiliate. They blocked my account AND my e-mail BOTH! In their eyes, I no longer existed. But, my live links where still open and sending them TONS of traffic STILL! HotelsCombined is the worst affiliate program in existance! I am super angry with them after campaigning for 6 years for nothing...they TRICKED ME! Me and several of my friends and family even used their website to book hotels and did not even get the hotel deals promised! They are crooks for sure. And get this: My best friend was using their links on her Travel website for 2 years and as soon as she reached the payout limit ($100) BAM! They deleted her out of existance too (but kept her links on her site alive, still getting traffic). She finally was able to erase every link going to them. It took her forever because her website has 100s of pages/subdomains. Anyways, beware of HotelsCombined. They never pay anybody. I know of 26 people personally, and you will find 1000s upon 1000s of complaints online. Beware that you might be fooled by their comments saying the affiliates are lying. We all online are telling the truth. HotelsCombined are the lying scam artists, not us...and we swear they are! You can choose to believe them or us. But, you WILL be RIPPED OFF and will waste your time to give them FREE traffic, they will never pay you, nor will they even say Thank You for making them rich!!!
Anybody can "send an e-mail" to the e-mail address posted here, but it will be a waste of time, I swear it. It is "computer-generated" and you might get one reply by a robot, then they will block you permanently after that, and will PERMANENTLY suspend your HotelsCombined affiliate acct. and will NEVER EVER pay what they owe you. They only want to generate FREE website traffic. Even after your accts. are blocked, every link you have ever posted online will continue to send them traffic. DO NOT BELIEVE THESE SCAM ARTISTS!!!!!
