For local businesses

Give your guests $10 off local fun. Earn on every visit.

How it works

  1. Join and set up your page

    Sign up free, add your logo and colors, and pick a few local favorites. Your page is live at gettidepass.com/@yourname.

  2. Put it where people see it

    Print a QR card, poster or table tent, or share your link by email and social. Each placement gets its own tracked code.

  3. Earn on every verified visit

    When your people check in at a venue, you earn a share. Payouts go out weekly.

What you get

  • A co-branded landing page

    Your logo, brand colors, hero photo, headline and links, with your picks and $10 passes for every listed spot.

  • A print and share kit

    Ready-to-print QR cards, posters, table tents, door hangers and desk signs. Change the wording and colors to fit your space.

  • Campaign tracking

    See which placement works: the front desk card, the lobby poster, your newsletter or your website.

  • Weekly payouts

    Paid every week through Stripe once you have $25 or more available. Clear Pending, Available and Paid status.

Your page, your brand

Here's the idea. Your logo and colors up top, your favorite spots below, and a $10 pass on each one.

  • Your logo, colors, photo and headline
  • A short address: gettidepass.com/@yourname
  • The commission line is added for you

What you could earn

You earn a percent of each verified visit, after the guest's $10 off and before tax and tip. Lodging businesses earn 9%. All other businesses earn 7%. It comes out of the venue's fee, so your guests pay the same.

Examples only, not a promise. What you earn depends on how many people check in at a venue.

Simple, honest and free

  • Disclosure is built in

    Every page and printable tells guests whether your business earns a commission. You don't have to write it yourself.

  • No guest data shared

    You see counts and earnings. Never names, emails or phone numbers.

  • No cost, ever

    Free to join, free to print, nothing to sell. Tidepass pays your share from its own revenue.

  • Fair perk rules

    Employers keep it voluntary and separate from pay or reviews. Apartments offer it to every resident equally.

Business questions

What does it cost?

Nothing. Joining, your page and the print kit are free. Tidepass pays your share from its own revenue, so guests pay the same price.

How much do we earn?

Lodging businesses earn 9% and all other businesses earn 7% of each verified visit, after the guest's $10 off and before tax and tip. A $150 visit earns $13.50 at 9% or $10.50 at 7%.

What counts as lodging?

Hotels, motels, inns, bed and breakfasts, vacation rentals and property managers.

I'm already a host. Should I switch?

You don't have to. The host program is quick and personal. The business program adds your logo and colors, tracked campaigns and the print kit, at the same 9% for lodging.

When do we get paid?

Weekly through Stripe, once you have $25 or more available. Earnings become available after the venue's charge for that visit clears.

Do we see who our guests are?

No. You see counts, visits by venue and what you earned. Guests stay anonymous to you.

Do we need to tell guests we earn?

Yes, and it's built in. If you earn, your page and printables say so. Keep it on anything you make yourself too. Partners whose license doesn't allow commissions earn nothing, and their pages say that instead.

Can an employer offer this to staff?

Yes, as a free perk. Employers don't earn on their staff's visits. Keep it voluntary, and never tie it to pay, hours, reviews or performance.

Which businesses can't join?

Cannabis, tobacco and vape, firearms, adult, gambling and sweepstakes, payday lending, debt relief and credit repair, get-rich-quick schemes, pharmacies and supplements, political groups, multi-level marketing, and businesses aimed at minors. Licensed health professionals (including vets and massage therapists), CPAs, public adjusters, public agencies, attorneys, and employers sharing with their own staff can share Tidepass as a perk but don't earn. Real estate, financial and insurance pros can earn if they tell their clients in writing.

Can a venue join too?

Yes. A venue can be a business partner and recommend other spots, but it can't earn on visits to its own listing.
