Traveluxe Advisor Program
Before we talk.
We reviewed your application and would like to learn more about you. Before we schedule that conversation, we want you to have a clear picture of what joining Traveluxe looks like, what it costs, what is included, how you make money, and what we expect from our advisors.
We don't want either of us getting on a call only to discover that an important part of the program isn't what you expected.
Please read through this page completely. If what you see still feels aligned with the business you want to build, you'll find the link to schedule your call at the bottom.
Your Investment
One complete program.
Your $3,000 investment includes your complete Traveluxe Advisor training program and your first year of Traveluxe membership.
We intentionally do not offer a stripped-down version of the program. After 16 years in this industry, we believe the training, technology, systems, resources and support work best together.
Performance Rebate
Build the business and earn half of your investment back.
When you reach $10,000 in paid commission to you within your first 12 months, Traveluxe will rebate $1,500 of your original program investment.

Compensation
How you make money.
You operate as an independent travel advisor, not as an employee of Traveluxe. When your clients travel, suppliers pay Traveluxe a commission, and you receive a percentage of the Net Commission based on your Traveluxe commission tier.
The Traveluxe Advantage
Our size and supplier relationships can mean more commission on the same trip.
Travel agencies do not all earn the same commission rates from travel suppliers. Because of Traveluxe's sales volume, industry partnerships and preferred supplier relationships, we qualify for some of the highest commission levels available with many of the brands we sell.
Why this matters: your advisor commission split is calculated from the commission Traveluxe earns. A higher supplier commission rate can create a larger commission pool before your advisor split is applied.
Your commission split starts at 50% and can grow to 90%.
Your commission tier is based on commissions earned from commissionable traveled sales. As your production grows, your percentage of Net Commissions increases.
| Commission Earned | Your Split |
|---|---|
| Under $3,500 | 50% |
| $3,501 – $6,500 | 55% |
| $6,501 – $8,500 | 60% |
| $8,501 – $15,000 | 65% |
| $15,001 – $30,000 | 70% |
| $30,001 – $45,000 | 75% |
| $45,001 – $70,000 | 80% |
| $70,001 – $200,000 | 85% |
| $200,001+ | 90% |
If a vacation booking pays Traveluxe a $500 Net Commission and you are at the 70% tier, you would earn $350 from that booking.
If your commissions during the current calendar year qualify you for a higher tier, the higher commission split applies for the remainder of that calendar year.
Agency-Provided Leads
Traveluxe leads are always a 50/50 split.
Participation in Traveluxe-provided leads is optional. Any lead generated directly by Traveluxe, including website inquiries, social media leads, referral campaigns, paid advertising or Company-managed marketing funnels, is paid at a 50% advisor / 50% Traveluxe split, regardless of your individual commission tier.
Agency-provided leads and the resulting client relationships remain with Traveluxe.
After Your First Year
No surprise renewal.
If you choose to continue your Traveluxe membership after your first year, here's what to expect.
Annual Traveluxe membership beginning with your second year.
Tern is included in your first year. Beginning in Year 2, the advisor is responsible for the Tern subscription. ($22 per month)

I understand the initial Traveluxe Advisor Program investment is $3,000.
I understand this is an independent contractor business opportunity, not employment with Traveluxe.
I understand I must complete the required training before I begin selling travel through Traveluxe.
I understand I am responsible for building and servicing my own book of business.
I understand Traveluxe provides training, tools, systems and support but does not guarantee clients, sales or income.
I understand the commission structure and ongoing membership costs described above.
If invited to join Traveluxe, I am prepared to invest the required time, effort and money into building my business.
Scheduling a call does not guarantee acceptance into Traveluxe. The purpose of the conversation is to determine whether Traveluxe and the applicant are a good mutual fit. Participation in the Traveluxe Advisor Program does not guarantee sales, commissions, clients or any specific level of income.
