	Getting Paid
	Affiliates are paid a commission, based on dollar amounts set by our hotel providers, for each booking they help generate subject to the terms of this agreement.  Accounts will be paid within 60 days after a guest checks-out and pays for their completed hotel stay. Refunded stays after a guest checks-out will not qualify as a valid stay.  If an affiliate account balance is less than $125 USD, the balance will be held until it is over $125.  In other words, you won't get your first payment until you have earned over $125 in booking commissions. The commission payable to the Affiliate shall be based on the revenue actually generated from the room rate (exclusive of taxes and room charges, such as room service, mini-bar, valet, and goods and services charged to the room) paid by the customer for a hotel stay arising from a Qualified Booking. All bookings must be made and completed on the LasVegasDirect.com website using our inventory to qualify for a commission. In some cases we may link out to other affiliate sites, such as a hotel website or advertiser, which cannot be counted towards a booking. We deal with many hotel room providers, including the hotels themselves. Rates listed as negotiated prepaid rates pay you 6% commission. Unless stated otherwise, all commissions will be 6%.  If you book enough hotels (25+ per day) with us, we can at our discretion increase your commission up to 15%. Please contact us to inquire about higher tiered commissions once your booking volume is high enough. U.S. affiliates will be contacted to also supply us with tax information once earnings exceed $600 USD per year.
	30-day Cookie Tracking
	We offer you the benefit of 30-day cookie tracking on any referral you send us. If a customer books a room after being sent to us from your site, or the customer later comes back to our site and books within 30-days, you will get full credit for the booking on any qualifying hotel booked.
		Non-Qualified Booking
	Cancelled stays do not qualify. Refunds after a stay is made do not qualify. Charge-backs due to credit card fraud are not paid. Unless otherwise negotiated, you will only get credit for hotel-only bookings. For example, vacations, air, limos, show tickets, tours, etc., do not qualify. Bookings must be made online. Bookings made by phone do not qualify.
		Las Vegas Direct Responsibilities
