Two circles, not one more
Your referrals (first circle), then their referrals (second circle). And you get nothing for a sign-up: only for stays actually completed on ZiYou.
Community cashback
The service fee, shared.
On every booking made on ZiYou, the traveller pays a 13% service fee (excluding tax). Out of every €10 of that fee, up to €4 goes back as cashback into the community's wallets: the traveller's, the host's, and their sponsors'. No stay, no cashback.
How it works
- 1
You share your code
Someone close to you signs up with your referral link: they become your referral.
- 2
They book, they host
Every stay completed on ZiYou, by them or by their own referrals, generates a service fee. It is the only source of the cashback.
- 3
Everyone gets their share
On the service fee of their stay, excluding tax: 10% for them, 5% for you, 5% for the person who referred you. On the traveller's side as on the host's.
What's different here
On ZiYou, the service fee doesn't all stay with the platform: out of every €10 of fee, up to €4 goes back to the people who keep it alive — travellers, hosts and sponsors.*
Your wallet, in euros
Credited after each completed stay, it can be spent on ZiYou, in part or in full, when you book.*
Up to €4 out of every €10 of fee shared out
On the traveller's side and on the host's side alike: €1 for the person themselves, €0.50 for their sponsor and €0.50 for their sponsor's sponsor. If a sponsor is missing, their share stays with ZiYou. Calculated on the service fee excluding tax.*
A community, not a directory
Traveller, host, co-host: nothing forces you to choose, and many are all three. Your stays as a traveller and the stays you host feed the same wallet.
* Under the terms of the community cashback programme: only on stays booked, paid and completed on ZiYou, calculated on the service fee excluding tax, two circles of referral at most, amounts valid for 18 months. No amount is guaranteed.
