Kiwitaxi
Kiwitaxi (via Travelpayouts) is a strong, well-specified affiliate offer in the airport transfers & private transport category. Visitors get a clear headline reward (9–11%), 30-day cookie, and explicit platform rules (rewarded on desktop + mobile web, not rewarded in-app). The payout logic is also clearly stated: orders become labeled “Paid” 14 days after the ride is finished, which is consistent with a post-service validation model.
Commission Rate & Model

Commission Model

Show more
The Kiwitaxi offer on Travelpayouts uses an order-based commission model. For standard transfers, the listed reward rate is 9–11% of the order amount. The offer also describes a separate, higher rev-share note for the automobile tours product line (shown as 90% RevShare in the offer text). In addition to percentage rates, the offer provides practical earning expectations such as an average partner commission (shown around €6) and example averages in USD (about $8 for transfers and $44 for automobile tours).
Model: % of order amount
Transfers: 9–11%
Automobile tours: 90% RevShare (offer note)
Average commission shown: ~€6
Round trips: ~36% of orders (offer note)
Important exclusion: some brand promo codes
| Commission element | How it’s defined in the offer | What that means in practice |
|---|---|---|
| Primary product: Transfers | 9–11% of the order amount for transfer bookings. | Earnings scale with booking value: higher-priced routes or larger vehicles can generate higher absolute commission, even at the same %. |
| Secondary product: Automobile tours | The offer text references 90% RevShare for automobile tours. | This is presented as a distinct earning logic for tour-style services (separate from the transfer % range), and is highlighted with much higher average commission examples. |
| Average commission examples | The offer highlights typical averages such as ~€6 per order and USD examples of ~$8 (transfers) and ~$44 (tours). | These examples imply that many transfer orders are smaller-ticket than tour orders, and that tours can materially increase earnings per conversion when they occur. |
| Round-trip behavior | The offer notes that around 36% of orders are round trip, and illustrates doubled commission (example shown as “6 × 2 = 12 euros”). | Round trips can increase total earnings because the traveler is effectively booking two rides (arrival + departure), which increases the order value and/or count credited. |
| Rewarded platforms | Rewarded on Desktop and Mobile web; App is listed as not rewarded. | Web checkouts are the commissionable path in this offer; app checkouts are not expected to generate affiliate reward. |
| Offer-specific exclusion | Orders placed using certain brand marketing promo codes are excluded (not reflected in offer statistics and no commission is accrued). | A completed booking can still be non-commissionable if it falls under the offer’s promo-code exclusion rule. |
How commission tends to increase (by booking type)
- Higher order value routes (longer distances, premium pickup locations)
- Larger vehicles (minivans, minibuses) used by families and groups
- Round-trip bookings (arrival + departure in one planning cycle)
- Tour bookings (offer highlights materially higher average commissions for tours vs standard transfers)
What can reduce or eliminate commission eligibility
- Booking completed in the app (offer lists app as not rewarded)
- Order uses an excluded brand marketing promo code (no commission accrues)
- Tracking issues (cross-device completion, blockers, overwritten attribution)
- Offer rule violations (e.g., media buying is listed as not allowed in the offer rules)
Commission example (illustrative math):
If a transfer order total is €80 and the reward rate applied is 10%, the commission would be €8.
If a traveler books a round trip (arrival + departure), total order value and credited earnings typically increase compared with a one-way transfer.
If a transfer order total is €80 and the reward rate applied is 10%, the commission would be €8.
If a traveler books a round trip (arrival + departure), total order value and credited earnings typically increase compared with a one-way transfer.
Visitor takeaway: Kiwitaxi’s Travelpayouts offer is primarily a percentage-of-order program for transfers
(listed as 9–11%). The offer also highlights a separate, higher-revshare note for automobile tours,
plus practical “average commission” benchmarks. Commission eligibility is shaped by two key operational rules in the offer details:
rewards apply to desktop & mobile web (not app), and some brand marketing promo code orders are explicitly excluded from commission.
Cookie Duration
Cookie Duration
30 days
Show more
The Kiwitaxi offer inside Travelpayouts uses a 30-day cookie. This means that if a visitor clicks an affiliate link, the referral can still be credited if they return and complete an eligible booking within 30 days, as long as tracking remains intact. The offer also lists rewarded platformsdesktop web and mobile web, while in-app bookings are explicitly not rewarded.
Cookie window: 30 days
Rewarded: Desktop web
Rewarded: Mobile web
Not rewarded: App
Typical model: last-click within cookie
Key risks: app flow + cross-device + blockers
| Tracking element | What it means | What website visitors should understand |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie duration | A referral can be attributed for up to 30 days after the click, if the booking happens within that window. | Travelers often research transfers shortly before arrival; 30 days covers most “plan a trip → book a transfer” timelines. |
| Attribution model (common behavior) | Affiliate systems commonly credit the last eligible click within the cookie window. If a traveler clicks multiple affiliate links, attribution can be overwritten by the most recent eligible click. | Clicking another affiliate link later can shift which publisher is credited for the same booking. |
| Rewarded platforms | Bookings are rewarded on desktop website and mobile website. | To remain eligible for affiliate attribution, the booking needs to be completed through the web flow. |
| Not rewarded platform (important) | Bookings completed in-app are not rewarded in the offer details. | If a user is pushed into an app checkout, the affiliate commission is not expected to accrue for that booking. |
| Cross-device risk | If a traveler clicks on one device and completes the booking on another, the cookie may not transfer. | Cross-device journeys (mobile research → desktop purchase) are a common reason affiliate tracking can fail. |
| Tracking blockers / privacy | Ad blockers, strict privacy settings, cookie clearing, and tracking prevention can prevent the click from being stored properly. | Even with a valid program, browser-level tracking prevention can reduce tracked and credited bookings. |
| Promo code exclusion (offer-specific) | The offer notes that orders placed using certain brand marketing promo codes are not reflected in the offer’s statistics and no commission is accrued for such orders. | Some discounted/brand-driven promo-code orders can be excluded from affiliate rewards, even if a click occurred beforehand. |
Attribution is strongest when
- Click → booking happens within the 30-day cookie
- Traveler stays in the web checkout flow (desktop/mobile web)
- Traveler remains on the same device from click to booking
- No additional affiliate links are clicked afterward (reduces last-click overwrite)
What most commonly breaks attribution
- Booking completed in-app (explicitly not rewarded)
- Cross-device booking (cookie may not carry)
- Later clicks on other affiliate sites (possible last-click overwrite)
- Browser privacy settings or blockers prevent cookies/tracking
- Order uses a brand marketing promo code that the offer excludes from commission
Simple example:
A traveler clicks an affiliate link on June 1 → returns and books a transfer on June 20 via the mobile website → still within 30 days → eligible for tracking. If the traveler instead completes the booking in-app, the offer states it is not rewarded.
A traveler clicks an affiliate link on June 1 → returns and books a transfer on June 20 via the mobile website → still within 30 days → eligible for tracking. If the traveler instead completes the booking in-app, the offer states it is not rewarded.
Visitor takeaway: Kiwitaxi’s Travelpayouts offer provides a 30-day cookie and rewards bookings made on
desktop web and mobile web, while in-app bookings are not rewarded.
The biggest attribution risks are app checkout flows, cross-device completion, privacy blockers, last-click overwrite, and the offer-specific
restriction that some brand marketing promo code orders do not accrue commission.
Payouts
Minimum Payout
$10
Payout time
14 days after the ride is finished
Show more
Kiwitaxi commissions in Travelpayouts are not treated as fully finalized at the moment a booking is made. The offer’s payout process states that an action is labeled “Paid” 14 days after the ride is finished. In other words, the commission moves to a “paid” state after the service has been completed and a defined post-service period has passed. Separately, the offer includes an explicit exclusion: orders placed using certain brand marketing promo codes are not reflected in the offer’s statistics and no commission is accrued for those orders.
Validation: paid after service completion
Paid label: 14 days after ride finished
Who pays affiliates: Travelpayouts
Payment methods: depend on Travelpayouts account
Thresholds: depend on payout method
Important exclusion: some promo-code orders
| Item | What it means | What website visitors should understand |
|---|---|---|
| When a booking becomes “Paid” | The offer states the action is labeled “Paid” 14 days after the ride is finished. | There is a built-in delay between booking and a “paid” status because eligibility is tied to completed service delivery. |
| Why there is a delay | Transfers are a “service used” product: the ride must happen first, then the system waits a short period before marking it as paid. | This payout logic is typical for travel services (reduces reversals from canceled or non-completed rides). |
| Promo code exclusion (offer-specific) | Orders placed using brand marketing promo codes are not reflected in offer statistics and no commission is accrued for those orders. | A booking can be real and completed, but still not commissionable if it falls under the offer’s promo-code exclusion rule. |
| Who pays the affiliate | Even though the advertiser is Kiwitaxi, affiliate withdrawals are handled by Travelpayouts. | Commission accrues inside Travelpayouts reporting first; payouts depend on Travelpayouts withdrawal rules for the affiliate account. |
| Payment methods | Payment options are the payout methods available in the affiliate’s Travelpayouts account and can vary by country/region. | The specific methods (and any fees) are determined by the Travelpayouts account setup and the method selected for withdrawals. |
| Minimum payout thresholds | Travelpayouts applies minimum withdrawal thresholds, which can differ depending on payout method. | Even with paid actions in reporting, withdrawals occur once the affiliate balance meets the minimum threshold for the chosen method. |
What most often explains “not paid yet” status
- The ride has not been completed yet (service not used)
- The ride was completed, but the 14-day post-ride period has not finished
- The order used a brand marketing promo code excluded from commission
- Balance is below the Travelpayouts minimum withdrawal threshold for the chosen payout method
Payment-method reality (Travelpayouts layer)
- Withdrawals are made through Travelpayouts (network payout infrastructure)
- Available payout methods can differ by affiliate location and account profile
- Provider fees/currency conversion can affect the final received amount depending on the selected method
- Accrued Kiwitaxi commissions are withdrawn together with other Travelpayouts earnings under the same account
Simple timeline example:
Booking is made → ride happens on travel date → after the ride is finished, the offer waits 14 days → action is labeled “Paid” in reporting → affiliate can withdraw via Travelpayouts once the account meets the applicable payout threshold and payout method requirements.
Booking is made → ride happens on travel date → after the ride is finished, the offer waits 14 days → action is labeled “Paid” in reporting → affiliate can withdraw via Travelpayouts once the account meets the applicable payout threshold and payout method requirements.
Visitor takeaway: Kiwitaxi’s Travelpayouts offer uses a clear post-service payout rule:
actions become labeled “Paid” 14 days after the ride is finished. Affiliate withdrawals are processed by Travelpayouts
using the payout methods and minimum thresholds available in the affiliate’s Travelpayouts account. A key offer-specific exception applies:
orders using certain brand marketing promo codes do not accrue commission and may not appear in the offer statistics.

Best for
Travelers who already have a destination and want a confirmed pickup
Show more
Kiwitaxi is positioned as a worldwide booking platform for individual transfers (airport/city pickups, hotel transfers) and private car tours. In the Travelpayouts offer details, the target countries are listed as Worldwide, with broad operational coverage described as 110+ countries, 500+ airports, and approximately 117,500 routes. Because transfers are usually booked around fixed travel dates and arrival airports, the strongest audience fit is travelers who already know their destination and need a reliable “arrival-to-hotel” solution (or a pre-booked return ride).
Primary GEO: Worldwide
Coverage: 110+ countries
Airports: 500+
Routes: ~117,500
Rewarded: Desktop + Mobile web
Not rewarded: App
Best-fit traveler personas
- Airport arrival travelers who want a pre-booked pickup (highest intent)
- Families traveling with children/luggage needing minivans or larger vehicles
- Business travelers who value fixed pricing, punctuality, and predictable logistics
- Late-arrival / red-eye flyers who prefer a confirmed ride vs searching on arrival
- Group travel (friends, events) looking for vans/minibuses instead of multiple taxis
- Luxury/comfort seekers choosing premium vehicles for convenience
- Round-trip planners booking both arrival and departure transfer (the offer notes a significant share of round-trip orders)
Traveler situations where transfers are most relevant
- New city / language barrier where travelers want “no stress” pickup
- Fixed-price preference (avoid meter uncertainty and hidden fees)
- Airport-to-hotel routes with long distances or limited public transport
- Night arrivals when ride-hailing supply is inconsistent
- Family logistics (car seats, luggage space, direct door-to-door service)
- Private touring days (the offer lists private car tours as an additional product line)
| Segment | Who it includes | Why Kiwitaxi fits |
|---|---|---|
| Global travelers (default) | International and domestic travelers across worldwide destinations; airport pickups, city transfers, hotel transfers. | Broad coverage across countries/airports/routes supports “book a transfer almost anywhere” positioning. |
| Airport-intent searchers | Users searching “[airport] transfer”, “[airport] to [hotel/center]”, “private transfer [city]”. | Transfers are a high-intent product: travelers usually book when dates and flight arrival are decided. |
| Families & group travel | Families with kids/luggage and groups needing vans/minibuses rather than standard taxis. | Offer highlights a wide vehicle range (sedans, luxury cars, minivans, buses), matching larger-party needs. |
| Business & comfort travelers | Corporate travelers, frequent flyers, and travelers who prioritize reliability and service clarity. | Offer emphasizes fixed prices, licensed professional drivers, and 24/7 support—conversion-friendly for convenience-focused users. |
| Language-localized audiences | Travelers who convert better when the booking flow and information are available in their native language. | The offer lists multiple supported languages (e.g., English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch/Flemish, Hungarian, Ukrainian). |
| Private car tours (add-on) | Travelers booking private touring/vehicle services in addition to standard transfers. | The offer explicitly includes private car tours as a product line (separate reward notes are listed for automobile tours). |
| Platform behavior (important) | Desktop and mobile web users vs app users. | Rewarded platforms are listed as Desktop and Mobile web; App bookings are not rewarded in the offer details. |
Plain-English target market summary:
Kiwitaxi is aimed at travelers worldwide who need a pre-booked airport or city transfer (and in some cases private car tours), especially when reliability, fixed pricing, and door-to-door convenience matter—on desktop and mobile web (app bookings are not rewarded).

Affiliate Approval Process
Approval Difficulty
Easy
Show more
Kiwitaxi is offered through Travelpayouts. Joining is typically a standard network-offer flow: create a Travelpayouts account, add your traffic source, then connect to the Kiwitaxi offer. The most important “approval” and long-term eligibility factor for this program is channel compliance with the offer’s listed rules. The offer is broadly permissive across most organic and owned channels (including coupon/promo-code and travel-business style promotion), but it includes one explicit hard restriction: media buying is not allowed.
Network: Travelpayouts
Target GEO: Worldwide
Rewarded: Desktop + Mobile web
Not rewarded: App
Promo allowed: Yes
Not allowed: Media buying
Step 1 — Create and verify your Travelpayouts account
Required
Add your website/channel details and complete the profile and payout settings so Travelpayouts can validate the traffic source and pay commissions.
Step 2 — Join the Kiwitaxi offer inside Travelpayouts
Required
Kiwitaxi targeting is listed as Worldwide. After joining, affiliates generate tracking links and (where available) use offer assets such as links, banners, widgets, or white-label integrations.
Step 3 — Follow the offer’s promotion-method rules (this is the strict part)
Strict
The offer explicitly marks which promotion methods are permitted and which are not. Staying within these rules is what keeps tracking and commissions valid.
Step 4 — Keep bookings in the rewarded platform flow (web-only rewards)
Important
The offer lists rewarded platforms as Desktop and Mobile web, while App is listed as not rewarded. This is an operational eligibility point: even with an approved account, app bookings are not expected to generate commission.
| Promotion method | Status | What it means in practice |
|---|---|---|
| Content creation | Allowed (any channels) | Content-led traffic is supported: destination guides, airport transfer pages, route pages, and travel-planning content. |
| Cashback service | Allowed (any channels) | Cashback-style promotion is marked as permitted by the offer. |
| Travel business | Allowed (any channels) | Travel-business style placement is marked as allowed (useful for operators with travel-booking or itinerary audiences). |
| Personal bookings | Allowed | The offer explicitly lists personal bookings as allowed (unusual compared with many travel offers). |
| Coupons or promo codes | Allowed (any channels) | Coupon/promo-code angles are permitted; the offer also mentions customized promo codes as a supported format. |
| Media buying | Not allowed | Paid acquisition / buying traffic is explicitly prohibited under the offer rules. |
What most commonly causes compliance issues
- Running media buying (explicitly not allowed)
- Driving users into app booking flows (offer lists app as not rewarded)
- Expecting commission on bookings that use certain brand marketing promo codes (offer states these do not accrue commission)
- Promotion setup that breaks tracking continuity (cross-device journeys, blockers, redirects)
Fast approval & “ready to earn” checklist
- Travelpayouts account created with a valid, reviewable traffic source (site/channel)
- Kiwitaxi offer joined inside Travelpayouts and tracking links generated correctly
- Promotion plan fits allowed methods (content/cashback/travel-business/coupons)
- No paid traffic acquisition (no media buying)
- User journey stays in the web booking flow (desktop/mobile web)
Plain-English summary:
Kiwitaxi approval is mainly “standard Travelpayouts onboarding + rule compliance.” The offer is broadly permissive across many promotion styles (including coupons/promo codes and travel-business placement), but it explicitly prohibits media buying. Operationally, commissions are tied to bookings made on desktop and mobile web, while app bookings are not rewarded.

Visitor takeaway: Kiwitaxi (via Travelpayouts) is easy to join for most publishers once a Travelpayouts account is set up,
but it is strict where it matters: media buying is not allowed, and the offer’s rewarded platforms are web-only
(desktop + mobile web). A further offer-specific limitation exists: some brand marketing promo code orders do not accrue commission.
