The Reach agency ran the project with Expedia as brand partner.\n\n## How the IShowSpeed Clip Payouts Worked\n\nThe campaign was listed on Content Rewards on October 14, 2026, the same day IShowSpeed hosted his Expedia Unpack livestream. Creators earned between $10 and $500 for each approved clip, and a video needed at least 10,000 views before it qualified for payment. A clip with 100,000 views could earn $100, while one with 250,000 views could earn $250, with the maximum capped at $500 per clip.\n\nOnly footage from the October 14 Expedia livestream was allowed. Videos had to focus on IShowSpeed with the yellow suitcase visible in the frame, and creators were encouraged to share his reactions to destinations and the items revealed from the suitcase. Clips had to be posted on TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts with the hashtags #IShowSpeed and #Expedia and the destination named correctly.\n\nReach required at least 50% of a creator's audience to come from the US, Canada, Australia, the UK or New Zealand, and accounts had to focus on streaming or travel content. AI clips, fake views, reposted content and videos portraying IShowSpeed or Expedia negatively were prohibited. Creators had to link their social accounts to a Whop account and upload the video link within 30 minutes of posting.\n\n## Where the $8,000 Budget Stood\n\nWhen the campaign details were checked on October 23, 2026, around $850 of the $8,000 budget remained and 143 clippers were taking part. The Times of India described the Expedia deal as a one-off partnership rather than a standing clipping service for IShowSpeed.\n\n## Expedia's Earlier 2026 Partnerships\n\nExpedia's partnership activity in 2026 included a June tie-up with Amazon for Prime Day, in which Choose Chicago made Chicago the exclusive bookable travel destination during the June 23-26, 2026 event with 20% discounted hotel rates and bookings powered by Expedia, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records list a June partnership with BMO, whose Blue Rewards loyalty program uses a travel redemption platform powered by Expedia for members of 400+ brand partners to book flights, hotels and car rentals with Blue Points.\n\nIn May 2026, Expedia agreed to acquire Ireland-based B2B travel platform CarTrawler for about $350 million, extending its B2B services into car rentals, ground transport and Insurtech, the same records show.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
