My Wife and I attended a presentation in Scottsdale, Arizona in late 2000. We travel cross country extensively every year and felt that we would use the motel travel agent discounts, plus we were planning a trip to Hawaii in early 2001. So, we bought into the system. I planned the trip through Travelbridge, also got airline tickets for friends, and got some Travel Agent discounts from Hertz and others. I filed the commission statements in October and received my commission check about a month later. The call center was very helpful in processing my requests, but the Head Office was not as well organized in Scottsdale. It was difficult to find someone who could make a decision.
As for cross country travel, very few motels honored the Travel Agent card. The reservations had to be called in ahead of time, and we don't travel that way. My main problem now is to find a way to renew the Agent card which expires the end of December. No one seems to know how to do it at the Scottsdale office.
