And IF the hesitation was around the high MSR they’ve dropped that to $3k with the current offer so that’s cool too!I agree. I'm not sure why so much hesitation on the 2 biz cards. We keep suggesting it and you seem to not like that answer.To me, amex biz cards are like free points. Use the points for however many nights you can and book the other nights on URs. This is an easy one.
Haha I think you just convinced me! What is the 3,000 base points from?
There are 4 Hilton cards:
MSR of $1k - You get 3 Hilton pts per dollar spent anywhere. (You can earn more if you spend in certain categories depending on the card).
Just be aware that you are using 5/24 slots if you get the personal no AF card. It may be worth it for you in your situation though
That’s a personal decision
When I click on DoC for the latest Chase offer, it does say direct deposit is required. Not sure if you had signed up for an earlier that didn't require it. I'm thinking of doing this for the first time, but need to check business office to see if DD is easily changeable.
Yes, we hit the FF for those scenes while watching with DD16.
Yes, Disney commission is about 10% of the package price. Since this is my first booking, I'm not sure how it would break down on the separate components. I guess I'll learn more as I go. My aunt has to pay a part to the agency she is under, and then hold some for taxes (about 20% of the commission goes to those two things). My aunt is also charging these clients a 'service fee' to do all the dining and FP's.
I have thought about it so many times too but what I am really good at is finding a deal. And often that means sending them to a diff TA or 3rd party website. Soooo, that wouldn't work well for me getting paid.
Some agencies take less than others. I know whoever my aunt is under is better. She did a lot of research before signing up with one.I come into this fully knowing that you probably can't earn a liveable wage doing this. Here's some of what I've found:
A Big thing is you don't get paid until the travel is COMPLETED. So if you start now and people are booking 6-12 months out you don't see cash until then.
- You're going to latch on to an agency and they'll get a cut
- A room only will probably generate a 10% commission - the agency is gonna take 30ish% of that
- So you're looking at roughly 7% of the room cost
- Tickets only pay commission on 3 day tix or more - it's an 8% commission I think
- I don't think they get anything for the Dining Plan
As a hobby, sounds cool...Trying to support a family or replace a REAL income...sounds scary
Yeah - agreed! I think it could be an awesome early retirement gig though

Also, just have to say your new profile pic is the cutest ever!!!

Fwiw... I grew up in a travel agency. It was fun for my parents at times and at other times it sucked like no other. You do all the work and all the research and book the trip and at the last second a big guy undercuts you by $5 and your client runs to the big guy. No other job where you can work quite so hard for $0 at the end of the day- and because time is money that’s actually less than $0. It’s fun and has its perks but it’s hell to make into a full time career of if you’re starting from scratch.
Keep thine mouth shut! The client knows what they want
