Compensation Disclosure
Potential gross commission earnings range from $35,000–$70,000 USD annually. This is an illustrative range—not a guaranteed salary or necessarily typical income. Some months may produce no earnings.
Actual compensation depends on completed travel sales, booking values, supplier commission rates, cancellations, refunds, chargebacks, and individual business activity. Commissions are generally paid after the applicable supplier releases payment, which may occur after the client completes travel.
There is no hourly wage, employee benefits, paid leave, guaranteed client volume, or guaranteed minimum income. Contractors are responsible for their taxes, equipment, insurance, marketing, and applicable business obligations. Compensation is earned from qualifying travel sales—not simply from applying, completing training, enrolling, or recruiting another person.
U.S. participants operate under a 1099 independent-contractor structure. Participants in other countries are responsible for complying with the tax and independent-business requirements applicable to their location.
