Commission Protection

When your client purchases any of the Worldwide Trip Protector plans, and then has to cancel the trip for a covered pre-departure trip cancellation claim (review guidelines below), Travel Insured will protect 100% of your lost travel supplier commissions, up to a maximum of 15% of your client's full trip cost.

Steps in Filing a Commission Protection Claim

Your client should receive the entire applicable refund according to the travel supplier's published cancellation penalties. This must include your agencies commissions and cancellation penalties, if any (No payment will be made for any penalties or fees imposed by your agency). Travel Insured will pay the commission to your agency upon receipt of documentation from the travel supplier indicating the amount of commission that you would have earned had your client completed the trip.

When your client purchases the trip using a credit card and the travel supplier grants a partial refund, including your commission that you would have earned had your client completed the trip you need to provide the following documentation from the travel supplier: the cost of your client’s trip, the amount paid by your client, the travel supplier’s cancellation provisions, the amount refunded by the travel supplier, and the commission amount.

If a Claim is Not Covered

If the client’s claim is denied, the commission that you would have earned if the client had traveled will not be protected. However, you will retain the commission that you earned on the Travel Insured Trip Protector Plan.
