How 5UP5 works and how it may make money, in plain terms.
5UP5 is currently a travel discovery and referral website. We don’t sell travel or process bookings ourselves. When a listing is ready to act on, we point you to a third-party travel website where you can complete the booking.
5UP5 may earn affiliate commissions from qualifying bookings or purchases made after you’re redirected from this site to a third-party travel provider, including through affiliate networks such as Travelpayouts. Affiliate compensation does not necessarily increase the price you pay — in most cases the price is the same whether you book through our link or go directly to the provider.
Booking and payment are completed with the third-party provider, not with 5UP5. The final price, availability, cancellation policy, taxes, fees, and other booking conditions are all determined by that provider, not by us.
Having a commercial relationship with a travel partner does not guarantee that every offer or provider will be displayed on 5UP5, or shown in a particular position. Our boards are intended to reflect price movement, not who pays the highest commission.
Our affiliate relationships are sourced through the Travelpayouts network. We only describe a brand as an active partner once the relevant affiliate program has actually been approved; until then, we refer to travel partners generally rather than naming specific brands.
