Note on the promotion of Premier Inn
Please be aware that it is very important to promote Premier Inn as 'Premier Inn' ONLY. They are no longer 'Premier Travel Inn' and have spent a lot of time and money on this rebrand. Please only promote this brand as 'Premier Inn'. We are keeping a close eye on this, and it is very important to promote this correctly to stay on the programme.
Approval of Sales Because people will regularly book hotels some months in advance, we are using a unique commission payment scheme for this programme.
Commissions will only be awarded to affiliates after the customer has stayed in the hotel. This is so we can avoid paying commissions to affiliates whose sale may become void when a customer cancels their booking. This may be reviewed in future, as Premier Inn generally see bookings made not too far in the future. Please note that due to this, Premier Inn does not fall into the buy.at two month payment cycle.
You can view the date of the booking for any sale in your buy.at management area, so you know when to expect payment. View the sales report and choose �customise report�, and add the �Extra Info Field� to the report to view the date of the booking. Payment of commission will be scheduled from this date, if the customer does not cancel the booking (our usual payment schedule is no more than two months).
If you have any questions please contact your Account Manager: christopher.said@buy.at
