The right recommendation. Your assigned membership link. A clear path from the first introduction to a qualifying sale.
Boutique Books are no longer sold individually. Membership referrals and links to read a guide have different jobs.
Use the personal Premium link HAP assigned to you. It opens a reader email-entry screen before the normal membership page.
Monthly: 15% on the first qualifying month only.
Annual: 15% on the first qualifying annual term only.
Future renewals: no additional commission.
The affiliate link does not provide a membership discount. The current price is shown at checkout.
Premium and Founding memberships include every Boutique Book and new releases while membership is active.
Hotel Reviews are free to all subscribers, on every tier. Free subscribers can also access two Premium pieces of content each month without upgrading. Hotel Reviews do not count toward that monthly Premium allowance.
Readers browse the public collection, then open the post on HAP. No separate book purchase or library login.
Sharing a book's post, its map, or the collection does not by itself establish a paid membership referral.
This page checks an existing HAP-issued identity. It does not enroll you, create a new affiliate account, or make up a link from your name.
Use the Premium link or link name from your HAP affiliate onboarding details. Do not enter a newsletter-referral code, author-page address, or a new name you would like to use.
Missing your details? Contact the HAP team who enrolled you. Your identity must already be registered before this desk can find it.
The check sends your link name to HAP's existing author registry. No reader email, purchase, subscriber change, or commission is created. This device can remember the link name; it must be checked again before copying.
A checked link will appear here.Use the clean published post address, not a draft or preview link. Without a post, the copy bank uses the Boutique Book collection. This checks the address format only, not publication status.
HAP's onboarding/provisioning process registers your author link name and affiliate code. Typing a new name into this desk cannot create that record.
Paste your issued link or exact link name above. Check the registered name before enabling Copy link. A valid link for another writer will credit that writer, not you.
Copy the go.readhotelsabovepar.com address ending in /premium. Do not replace it with the Upgrade page you reach afterward. Do not hand-build tracking parameters or substitute your newsletter-referral link.
“Read the guide” goes to the guide's published HAP post. “Join HAP Premium through my link” goes to your checked membership affiliate link. Include a disclosure beside the recommendation.
The desk verifies that a registered link can resolve. The reader must still complete the email step, continue to checkout using the same email, and make a qualifying paid purchase. HAP then reconciles attribution and payment.
The Boutique Book finder stays current as new guides join the collection. No outdated product list, standalone book price, or book discount code.
Find the city, meet the writer, and open the guide and HAP Map on HAP.
Search for a particular hotel and read the reporting behind the stay. Free to all subscribers, on every tier.
Destination stories, design, wellness, food, and the rest of HAP's editorial.
Use your checked Premium affiliate link when the recommendation is to join.
Check your assigned identity and confirm the writer above to enable copying. Add a published post address for a guide-specific recommendation. Edit the wording into your own voice.
The identity attached to the qualifying membership purchase is what matters, not who wrote the guide or originally referred the newsletter subscriber.
The HAP email-entry screen must show your registered writer name. A generic homepage, post, newsletter-referral URL, or raw Upgrade link is not a replacement.
They use the email attached to their HAP account, or the one they will use at checkout. They must press Continue. Merely opening the page does not save pending referral credit.
For an existing eligible free subscriber, the backend writes the pending author code and time to their subscriber record. For a brand-new reader, the existing bridge passes affiliate tracking parameters into checkout instead.
They continue with the same email. A free signup, complimentary membership, or opening a Boutique Book is not a paid affiliate sale. Already-paid members should use their existing access, not buy again to create a referral.
The backend handles the membership-upgrade event and resolves referral information. The final commission depends on a qualifying paid transaction, the attribution rules, and refund or adjustment review. The Studio is not a sales dashboard.
Published post: reading and discovery.
Newsletter-referral link: credit for bringing in a newsletter subscriber, not a membership commission statement.
Personal Premium affiliate link: the membership-referral path through HAP's email-entry screen.
Promotion standard: add useful context, recommend what fits the traveler, and keep the disclosure close. Share through your own newsletter, website, social posts, video descriptions, or direct replies to people asking for help. Do not cold-message Community members or drop promotional links into unrelated threads.
Use beside the membership recommendation.
“I may earn a commission if you join HAP Premium through my affiliate link.”
The link itself does not replace a clear disclosure. For any separately approved product-code offer, use a disclosure that accurately describes that specific purchase.
Only qualifying attributed revenue belongs in the final payout. HAP reconciles sales, refunds, and adjustments before issuing payment.
Through December 31: qualifying commissions accumulate.
On or before January 31: HAP issues the reconciled payout for that accrual period.
Future monthly or annual renewals do not generate additional commission. Test records and complimentary access are not payable sales.
HAP HR contacts participating writers about required tax-related paperwork, forms, and payment information.
Expected sender: [email protected]
This public Studio does not collect tax forms, banking details, or payment credentials. Complete any required paperwork through the arrangements provided by HAP.
One useful recommendation, correctly attributed, is worth more than a pile of untracked links.
Find a city guide or hotel story that genuinely matches your audience. Add your own perspective, then decide whether you are inviting people to read or recommending paid membership.
Confirm your assigned affiliate identity, copy the correct membership link, and include the disclosure. Publish the recommendation and answer relevant reader questions.
The details that keep a good recommendation from becoming an attribution problem.
No. HAP must first register your affiliate identity through its onboarding process. This page checks an already-issued link name against the author registry. It does not create or change author records, subscriber records, codes, or enrollment.
It starts with https://go.readhotelsabovepar.com/, continues with your exact HAP-assigned link name, and ends in /premium. Use the checked link from the desk. Do not invent a link name, use another author's link, or copy the Upgrade URL after the redirect.
It checks that the supplied link name resolves to an active author record and that the expected Pages handoff bindings are present. It does not prove that the visitor owns that identity, that the backend credential works, that checkout tracking succeeded, or that a commission was recorded. Confirm the writer name before sharing; HAP verifies the full sale path separately.
Yes. Share its published HAP post to help readers explore. Use your own personal Premium affiliate link if you recommend membership. A qualifying membership referral follows that affiliate path, not the guide's byline. Boutique Books no longer have individual book checkouts.
Use both when appropriate, with different labels. “Read the guide” uses the published post address. “Join HAP Premium through my link” uses your personal membership affiliate link. A plain post link does not carry this affiliate handoff by itself.
No. Newsletter-referral links identify newsletter acquisition. Premium affiliate links route membership recommendations through the author/email handoff. Newsletter-referral counts are not an affiliate sales ledger.
No. This affiliate step asks the reader to enter their email and press Continue. It is not a sign-in or an email-ownership verification. HAP's checkout or site may separately require its normal sign-in process.
They should still use your personal Premium affiliate link and submit the email connected to that free account. The existing bridge writes a pending author code and date before sending them to checkout. Sending only a generic Upgrade link skips that step.
The existing bridge does not create a subscriber during the email step. It sends affiliate tracking parameters into the normal signup/upgrade path, and the backend uses those as a fallback. Keep the handoff intact, use the same email, and return through the affiliate link again if the reader comes back later. Do not promise that browsing away or switching devices will preserve this new-reader path.
The existing backend checks a saved pending subscriber record for up to 30 days. The brand-new reader path uses checkout tracking instead, so this is not a blanket guarantee for every click or device. The clearest instruction is to reopen the intended writer's original affiliate link and complete the email step immediately before purchasing.
They should sign in and use their current membership. The bridge does not offer an already-paid member a new upgrade for attribution. A normal renewal is not an additional commissionable sale.
No. Complimentary access, including the annual Premium gift offered to previous standalone Boutique Book buyers, is not a qualifying paid membership sale. HAP must reconcile payment records before payout; an upgrade event or an access grant alone is not proof of revenue. Existing paid subscribers with billing questions should contact HAP before making another purchase.
No membership discount is included in this affiliate path. The reader sees the normal membership price at checkout.
Qualifying commissions accumulate through December 31. HAP reconciles paid sales, refunds, and adjustments, then issues payment on or before January 31. Watch for required tax/payment setup from [email protected].
This Studio verifies links and prepares copy; it is not a sales dashboard. HAP uses its internal attribution records and payment reconciliation to calculate commissions. For a missing-sale question, contact your HAP program contact with the original affiliate link and relevant date. Do not enter customer payment details in this public page.
