Apply nowWhy partner with us
Kootenay Connection is a digital pass for local deals across the Kootenays. As an affiliate, you earn on every VIP Pass you help bring in, and again on renewals, and your audience gets real value at real Kootenay businesses.
Competitive commission: rates set per partnership
You earn a percentage of the full $50 list price on every VIP Pass bought with your code. We agree on the rate during onboarding, based on your audience and fit.
A memorable vanity code
You pick a short code that represents you or your brand. It becomes the link you share on your channels. Easy to say, easy to type, easy to remember.
Optional discount for your audience
If you want, we can configure a discount on the VIP Pass for anyone who buys through your code. The discount is set per partnership. Everybody wins: they save, you earn, we grow.
Simple and transparent
You earn when someone buys a VIP Pass with your code, and again when they renew. No complicated tiers. You always know what you're owed and when you'll be paid.
Personal payouts
We pay out monthly by e-transfer, less a $1.50 transfer fee. You're dealing with a real person at Kootenay Connection, not an automated system.
Local-first, Kootenay-proud
Every dollar earned stays in the region. When your audience becomes a member, they're supporting real local businesses, and so are you.
How it works
One link, an optional discount, a commission on every Pass. No tiers, no tracking pixels, no guesswork.

Who we work with
Creators, influencers, and businesses with an audience that trusts what you recommend.
Running a sports team, school, or charity fundraiser? We have a simpler page for that: group fundraising.
Own a business with a live offer on Kootenay Connection? Switch on your own affiliate code in the Business Portal: your customers get 20% off their VIP Pass ($10) and you earn 10% ($5).
We tailor commission rates, discount rates, and promotional materials to your channel and reach, so the partnership makes sense for both sides.
What to expect
Our program is curated, not open-signup. Every partnership is reviewed by a real person. Here's what that means in practice.
Working with us
-
Reviewed, not rubber-stamped
We review every application individually. If we think it's a fit, we'll reach out to set up commission rates, discount options, and a shared launch plan. If it's not the right fit, we'll tell you honestly.
-
Invitee privacy
You see aggregate numbers: how many people signed up, how many became VIP. You never see individual invitee names, emails, or personal details.
-
Pause or terminate anytime
Either side can pause or end the partnership at any time. No long contracts, no lock-ins. Your code stops working; any earned-and-unpaid commission is still paid out.
Getting paid
-
Transparent earnings
Commission is calculated as a percentage of the full $50 list price, before any discount your invitee gets, so you always know the math. Payouts go out monthly by e-transfer, less a $1.50 transfer fee.
-
Earn again on renewals
You earn when each invitee buys a VIP Pass, and again each time they buy a new Pass. Members stay linked to your code, so they don't need to enter it again, unless they buy with someone else's code. Same rate every time, so it's easy to plan around and easy to explain to your audience.
-
Refunds within 7 days
If a Pass bought with your code is refunded within 7 days of purchase, the commission on it is reversed. This protects everyone. You never get paid on a sale that didn't stick.
