Spotlight rotation, revenue tiers, and creator points keep the marketplace open to every organizer. Use this guide to understand how the system rewards transparency and consistent care.
Spotlight slots refresh several times a day using time decay, engagement, value signals, and organizer diversity. Fresh trips and under-represented hosts get rotation boosts.
Every highlighted card shows a fairness badge and a short reason so travelers know why it appears. Keep your trip updated—stale content or weak response times lower your score quickly.
The first five paid trips keep 70% creator share (30% platform fee). Trips six through fifteen improve to 80% creator share (20% fee). Beyond that the fee settles at 10%.
Creator points earned through healthy activity discount the fee by up to 1% the following quarter, and refunds deduct points to keep the system fair for everyone.
Publish a new public trip (+20), confirm a paid participant (+10), receive a full refund (−15), and keep your rating above 4.5 for 30 days (+5).
Badges such as Rising Creator, Value Champion, or Departing Soon appear on Spotlight cards and public listings, helping travelers discover trustworthy hosts.
Checkpoint-style challenges refresh every Monday with goals like completing three paid captures or sharing community tips.
Completing them adds bonus creator points and keeps your streak alive, unlocking badges such as Streak Runner (3 weeks) and Streak Master (6 weeks).
Follow these habits to stay on top of Spotlight and revenue share.
Enable two-factor authentication on every admin/support account before go-live and keep signed contracts inside the governance snapshot.
Audit EN/AR translations and make sure Help Center policy text matches the contractual wording.
