I booked a rental car this morning through the Orbitz searchbox on my site. Orbitz has hourly reporting but has not shown up on my Linkshare reports. I emailed Angela Conley, the affiliate manager, and so far have not received a response.

I've been an Orbitz affiliate since the first day of their program in 2002 and over the years, there have been well over a dozen tracking issues with Orbitz, many of which I've documented here on ABW.

I'd rather not answer that here since it's off topic for this thread.

Apparently Angela forwarded my email to her Linkshare contact. I just received the following from him:
We are experiencing data delays in reporting. According to internal reports, your order did go through but there is a delay in reporting it. We are working to get the problem solved.

Still not reporting, more than 36 hours after the booking was made.

Still not reporting, more than 48 hours after the booking was made. I did have a different Orbitz booking show up this morning though.

... I did have a different Orbitz booking show up this morning though.Do you know if it was booked before or after yours?

It shows Friday 10-OCT-2008 20:45 which was over 24 hours after mine but it was delayed in reporting as well.

Sounds like more of a problem than a "delay in reporting" when earlier bookings are not posted.

Sure does, especially since my last Orbitz sale was Sept. 24.

This sale finally showed up today, 6 days after it was booked, along with another Orbitz sale from the following day, 5 days after it was booked.
