FAQ
Questions, answered
Clear expectations help both sides avoid messy collaborations.
What does it cost a brand to collaborate?+
Travel Heist does not charge a campaign commission. Brands and creators agree terms directly. We support hosted stays, paid briefs, barter deals and longer partnerships.
Can brands post campaigns inside the app?+
Yes. The in-app collaboration flow lets a brand create a profile, publish campaign briefs, receive applications and continue the conversation with interested creators.
What should creators add to their profile?+
Creators should add Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, niches, audience size, rate notes, city, country and upcoming travel plans. A strong profile helps brands understand fit faster.
How are creators vetted?+
We look at travel relevance, content quality, profile verification, engagement quality and basic brand safety. The goal is a useful shortlist, not a noisy directory.
What does a verified creator profile mean?+
A verified profile can include profile photo review, government ID approval, email verification and phone verification. These checks show as trust signals in the app so brands know which creators have completed the strongest identity checks.
Can a hotel or AirBnB offer only a free stay?+
Yes. Hosted-stay briefs are supported. Be clear about nights offered, deliverables expected, usage rights and blackout dates so creators can decide quickly.
