WE were promised that as 'travel agents with Travelbridge', we would have access to cheap air fares and 'special hotel rates', 'enjoy the perks other travel agents enjoy, commission, special travel and hotel rates, up-grades to first class when available, 'special deals' in last minute travel and car rental discounts among other things.
Checking air fares online before calling Travelbridge to book a flight, prices quoted from Travelbridge were consistantly higher so I would then purchase air fare on the Internet. Numerous times, even though we produced our 'travel agent card' we were denied discount on room rates.
We could get better rates from coupon books available free at Denny's, McDonald's or Burger King along the freeways or on www.hotelcoupon.com. Our 'travel agent' statis was a hoax and we were made to feel like we were attempting a fraudulant deal.
We paid several thousand dollars to get NOTHING! And began feeling guilty posing as 'travel agents'.
