Commission does not apply to incidentals, taxes, mandatory fees, e.g. resort fees or gratuities. Special discounted rates for travel advisors are non-commissionable.

Commissions for stays at Hyatt’s hotels and resorts will be paid for each night stayed at an Eligible Rate, up to the first 29 consecutive nights of a guest’s stay. Back-to-back stays within a 24-hour period at a single Hyatt hotel are considered one stay.  Unless otherwise agreed, Commission is not paid on convention bookings, government rates that are net/non-commissionable, any internet-only (not including Hyatt.com) rate programs, Hyatt gift cards and rates booked through online travel agencies.

Thank you Shawna for this TA information. I just now found it for the first time!

You are welcome, Pam!

This is great information Shawna, thanks?!

You’re very welcome, Melinda!

Outstanding!! wish I had seen this sooner. I just rented a car for 3 weeks from Alamo in Ft Lauderdale. I showed the counter attendant my CLIA card and asked for a discount, which I did not get.

Why wouldn’t they accept it? Was it because it wasn’t an IATAN card? I have a CLIA card as well. Marriot Hotel Excellence allows a CLIA card for their FAMtastic rates

This is great information and it is very helpful. Thank you for all your hard work. I would appreciate if you could send me an email have a few questions hoping you can help me with. Thanks in advance.

Do you know if Radisson or other hotels accept CLIA card, if we don’t yet have an IATAN card?

Hi Samantha! Per their current online registration form, they accept IATA/ARC/TIDS/CLIA/TRUE.

Thank you for this update!

Shawna, I dont sell enough to qualify for an IATA card myself. Can I use the agency’s number instead or does it have to be person specific to register for these discounts? Thanks so much

Hi Joan! Thank you for your question! These discounts typically require the agent to show their personal IATA card at the location.

i just called Sea World in San Antonio and they did not know anything about the 50% off. Do you konw if it is park or city specific? I have an IATA card.

Thanks. Tim

Our team members that have used this discount in the past simply showed their IATA card at the gate. We’ll look into this to see if the deal is no longer being offered!

**Centrav cannot guarantee availability or access to discounts mentioned in this post.

Thank you! I love the Centrav posts!

Thank you, Nanci!

Thank you for the wonderful post.

Do you happen to know if I can apply for an IATAN card even if I do not work for a travel company?

Thank you, Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,

Thank you for your comment! In order to be eligible for an IATA/IATAN card, an agent must work for an IATA-accredited travel agency.

Check out this post for more info: https://resources.centrav.com/get-iata-card/

Thanks very much

Thank you so much for this!

You are welcome!

Hi Shawna, I am an admin for a nationally touring music band. I am interested in learning how to get travel agent discounts on mostly flights and hotel for the band. Do I need to become a travel agent for that? If you could lead me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Hi Cyndee! We can send you more detailed information shortly!

Thank you for this information.

You’re welcome, Marilyn!

Hello, thank you for this guide. Do you know if travel agents are able to get discounts with baggage for flights ?

I am not aware of travel agent discounts for luggage, however, some private airfares offer extra luggage! This is totally dependent on the airline, routing, etc.

IHG TA Rates - Travel Consultant Connection

IHG Travel Agent Rates: How Travel Advisors Save 50% with IHG!

Travel Advisors can save big with IHG Travel Agent Rates!

The IHG Travel Agent Familiarization Program

Example: kimpton hotel chicago, can anyone book these rates, ihg brands that allow travel advisor rates:, ihg travel agent login page, ihg travel agent university, marriott travel agent rates: save 50% with fam-tastic rates, hilton travel agent rates: how advisors save 25-50% at hilton, hyatt travel agent rates: how advisors save up to 50% at hyatt.

If you are a certified travel agent looking to save on your next stay with IHG, make sure you take advantage of their discounted IHG travel agent rates. IHG’s familiarization program for travel agents offers discounts of up to 50% when you book through the IHG Travel Consultant Connection Portal.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at IHG Travel Agent Rates and how Travel Advisors can take advantage of them. We’ll dig into the IHG travel agent rate program, called “Travel Consultant Connection” and see how much travel advisors can actually save by using these special rates at IHG properties.

So whether you’re an agent planning a business trip to familiarize yourself with a property or just looking to take a leisurely vacation, read on to discover how you can save big on your next hotel booking through IHG.

Like most other major hotel chains, IHG offers discounted rates for travel agents to familiarize themselves with IHG hotels and resorts at a reduced rate. These rates are called “familiarization rates” and are only available to travel agents so they can be more informed when promoting an IHG property to their clients.

The following IHG benefits and terms apply to a Travel Agent’s personal travel only, they are not for client bookings:

  • 2 rooms allowed per stay, unlimited stays. (If booking a 2nd room the agent must be with the guest at time of check in).
  • Rooms must be booked at least 24 hours in advance of check-in.
  • Your Travel Industry ID (IATAN/IATA card) is required at check-in.
  • Earn IHG One Rewards points for your stay. You can also register and qualify for I HG One Rewards promotions .
  • The rate is not valid for commission.
  • The rate is only available to book via the IHG Travel Agent Portal , or by calling the Central Reservation Office at 1- 800-810-4499. 

The program has a higher discount than some of the other travel agents programs like Marriott Fam-tastic , Hyatt , and Hilton . On top of that, travel agents can earn IHG One Rewards points when booking stays which is a big plus that the other hotel chains don’t provide.

How to Book IHG Travel Agents Rate

IHG Travel Agent rates can be booked with through the normal IHG Booking Page or through the IHG ICC Travel Agent Portal . If you are booking through the main booking page, make sure the “Travel Consultant Discount Rate” is selected in the Rate Preference field and enter your IATA# in the IATA field.

IHG Travel Agent Rate Booking Page

Below is an example of the savings a travel consultant would receive a the Kimpton Hotel Monaco in Chicago. With a room rate of $240 per night, the discount for this property is approximately 28% off the prepaid rate and 32% off the member discount rate.

ihg travel rate example kimpton

The terms of this rate are as follows:

  • Rate is available for travel agents who can present a valid IATA ID or travel agent ID card at check-in. Rate requires to be booked one day in advance and is limited to 2 rooms per travel agent. If booking a 2nd room the agent must be with the guest at the time of check-in.

No. If you book a room with an IHG Travel Agent Rate, you’ll be required to present your Travel Industry ID/IATAN Card, Agency Business Card, or a letter on agency letterhead from agency management verifying your agency employment is required at check-in.

This is not something you can “hack”, you need to be a registered travel agent to get these rates.

IATAN ID Required for Travel Agent Rates

While IHG is very strict on travel agent rates, they are more lenient on other discounted rates such as:

  • IHG Friends & Family Rates
  • IHG Corporate Rates
  • IHG Employee Rates

You can receive discounted rates for IHG travel agents when you book a personal stay at the following IHG brands:

Travel Professionals

Your business is a top priority, and we want to exceed the expectations of you and your clients in every way. We are dedicated to timely commission payments, up-to-date information, and outstanding service.

Preferred Travel Group offers an exclusive monthly e-communication for travel agents which features special programs and promotions as well as news and updates on our hotels and resorts.

How to book reservations and add IATA number

Please view the guide located here .

Travel Agency Discount with Preferred Travel Group Properties

Please view the dedicated program page here .

Commission Payments to Travel Agents

Preferred Travel Group guarantees its current member hotels will pay commissions to bona fide travel agencies on rates flagged as commissionable in applicable distribution systems such as the Global Distribution Systems (GDS) or PreferredHotels.com.

Member hotels will pay a commission for each consumed night at an eligible rate. The commission is typically not paid on most convention bookings, discount rates that are net/non-commissionable (such as government rates), wholesale rates, corporate negotiated rates, any internet-only (not including Preferred Hotels & Resorts.com) rate programs, and any awards.

Taxes, fees, gratuities, and some package elements/add-ons are not commissionable.

Reservations booked as a hotel package – defined to include a room and other options (i.e., breakfast, theatre tickets, spa treatments or credit, etc.) – are typically commissionable for the room portion of the package only.

A valid agency number from a certified agency association (i.e., IATA, CLIA, TRUE) must be included at the time of booking in order for commission payment to be processed and paid to the travel agency after the guest checks out.

Commissions will not be paid on canceled, no-show reservations, or the lost nights resulting from a shortened stay.

Commission Help Desk

We are pleased to offer support to Travel Professionals for the payment of commissions on eligible reservations. Assistance is available for claimed commissions that are at least 30 days after the guest's departure and for reservations that are not more than 12 months past the guest's departure date. Please note the following limitations:

  • Preferred Travel Group cannot facilitate invoice generation on behalf of a travel agent for a hotel.
  • Preferred Travel Group does not issue commission payments. The Commission Help Desk is a service that provides assistance to agents for hotel payment of a commission. Any change in agency address is facilitated by contacting IATAN or CLIA; agents should contact their agency manager to liaise with IATAN or CLIA for updates.
  • Preferred Travel Group cannot guarantee assistance with hotels that have left the Preferred Hotels & Resorts brand, changed ownership, filed for bankruptcy, or terminated operations.

Contact Information:

Toll-free in USA and Canada: 1 877 748 2266 Direct Line : +1 312 496 6835 [email protected]

Commission Notable Exceptions

In some countries, hoteliers may ask an agent for an invoice before payment is rendered. Preferred Travel Group cannot facilitate invoice generation on behalf of a travel agent for a hotel. Please contact the hotel directly for clarification.

For U.S. agents, please ensure your W-9 information is up to date to avoid IRS-imposed withholding taxes. Hotels will not facilitate payment without a valid W-9 form. View more details here .

Preferred Travel Group cannot guarantee commission payment by hotels that have left the Preferred Hotels & Resorts brand, changed ownership, filed for bankruptcy, or terminated operations.

Money blog: Women charged more for MOTs - on exactly the same car; why you should look out for candles on house viewings

It's International Women's Day, but it seems there's still progress to be made at car garages. Read this and the latest consumer news in the Money blog - and listen to an episode of our new podcast Electoral Dysfunction on the budget as you scroll.

Friday 8 March 2024 21:22, UK

The owners of Riviera Travel, one of Britain's biggest providers of escorted foreign tours for the over-55s, have hired bankers to prepare a sale of the company.

Sky News understands that Silverfleet Capital, which has owned Riviera since 2017, has hired Baird, the investment bank, to oversee an auction later this year.

Riviera runs river cruises as well as holidays to destinations in Europe, India and South Africa.

Plans to impose targets for electric heat pump sales on gas boiler manufacturers could be confirmed as early as next week, after fierce debate within government and intense lobbying from industry to abandon the policy.

Sky News understands energy secretary Claire Coutinho had intended to ditch the policy, known as the Clean Heat Market Mechanism (CHMM), but will now proceed following objections from ministerial colleagues, who argued that it is crucial to decarbonising home heating and meeting wider net zero policy.

In a concession to the industry, fines for missing electric heat pump targets will be pushed back by 12 months to April 2025.

Ms Coutinho is also expected to refer several major gas boiler manufacturers to the Competition and Markets Authority for potentially colluding over price increases of up to £120 on gas boilers, imposed to cover potential fines that they described as a "boiler tax".

Japanese manga comic creator Akira Toriyama, best known for his work on popular titles like Dragon Ball and Dr Slump, has died aged 68, his publisher has said.

He died of acute subdural haematoma, a type of bleeding near the brain, on 1 March, Bird Studio, the company he created, said in a statement on Friday.

Announcing the news "with deep regret", the statement said "he would have many more things to achieve", but "he has left many manga titles and works of art to this world".

Asda has become the latest supermarket to announce a price drop for its baby formula, after a Sky News report found desperate parents were turning to stealing the essential item.

From tomorrow, prices will be cut on Cow & Gate, Aptamil and SMA baby formula products both online and in stores. 

The average price decrease is 6.5%.

Here is the full list of reductions...

  • Cow & Gate 1 First Baby Milk Formula From Birth Big Pack 1.2kg - dropped from £12.50 to £12 
  • Cow & Gate 2 Follow On Baby Milk Formula Big Pack 6+ Months 1.2kg - dropped from £12.25 to £12 
  • Aptamil Follow On Milk 6-12 Months 1.2kg - dropped from £17 to £16
  • Aptamil Milk Powder Big Pack 1.2kg - dropped from £17 to £16 
  • SMA Little Steps 1 First Infant Milk Powder Formula From Birth 800g - dropped from £9.75 to £7.95.

Previous reductions were announced by Tesco, Sainsbury's, Aldi and Iceland.

Some young drivers are paying close to £3,000 on average for their car insurance premiums, data reveals. 

Price comparison experts at Quotezone.co.uk looked into the UK regions with the highest premiums for young drivers - and found London, the West Midlands and Yorkshire among the worst. 

In the capital, 18 to 24-year-olds are shelling out £2,811 on average to insure their vehicles. 

This is closely followed by average premiums of £2,392 in West Midlands and £2,327 in Yorkshire.

Those in Northern Ireland are paying the least, with an average of £1,359 spent. 

The ABI says young drivers have been hit the hardest by soaring insurance costs, with premiums spiking by more than 25% year on year. 

Here is the full breakdown across the regions: 

  • London - £2,811
  • West Midlands - £2,392.30 
  • Yorkshire - £2,327.01
  • North West England - £2,297.97
  • South East England - £2,105.06
  • East of England - £2,030.26
  • North East England - £1,966.55 
  • East Midlands - £1,964.62
  • Scotland - £1,907.56
  • Wales - £1,835.09
  • South West England - £1,714.21
  • Northern Ireland - £1,359.12.

If you happened to collect Pokemon cards at one point - and still have them somewhere - you could net yourself thousands of pounds if you're lucky. 

Research by CSGOLuck has calculated the accumulative value of cards for each Pokemon character in the franchise, and found those which are most likely to earn you the most money if sold old. 

Dragon-like character Charizard is the one you want to find, with an impressive total card value of $21,468.91 (£16,665.46).

The values of its 62 cards range dramatically from $2.86 (£2.22) to $7,182.99 (£5,575.87). 

Popular character Pikachu is the second highest value, with its 196 cards coming to a total of $8,356.70 (£6,486.97). 

The value of cards can reach as high as $3,809.73 (£2,957.34). 

More good cards to have are Gengar, which has a highest single card value of $1,103.30 (£856.45), and Espeon star, of which there is only one card in existence valued at $4,122.50 (£3,200.13).  

Meanwhile, the Tropical Beach card can fetch a value as high as $1,984.38 (£1,540.39), depending on the condition of the card and which collection it belongs to. 

It's International Women's Day - but it seems there's still progress to be made. 

A recent survey found women are charged 5% more than men for vehicle services. 

Car management app Caura conducted a blind survey by contacting 100 garages for quotes on MOTs and services, using the names Emma and Edward. 

Alarmingly, the quotes for Emma were higher than for Edward - even though it was the same vehicle. 

Out of the 100 garages contacted, 70 responded to both calls. Edward was quoted £229 on average whereas Emma was quoted £241 - a 5% increase. 

In other cases, Edward was quoted £48 for an MOT, whereas Emma was quoted £49 - a 2% increase.

Fewer than a third of women (31%) feel confident about investing, compared with more than two-fifths (44%) of men, a survey has found.

The poll by HSBC UK found nearly two-thirds (63%) of women said they would not know how to start investing, compared with less than half (46%) of men.

Marianne Oliver, operations director at investment platform InvestEngine said: "Women face a myriad of challenges when it comes to investing - not least having less money to put aside as a result of societal inequalities, from the gender pay gap, and often taking on more of the caring and financial responsibilities for either children or elderly family members.

"This is obviously going to have an impact on how frequently they invest and their risk appetite, both of which would affect their returns."

Millions of people could avoid price increases on their mobile and broadband next month if they take action soon. 

About 11 million broadband and 36 million mobile customers face inflation linked price increases, but Uswitch.com says many people are now out of contract and will be able to switch to protect themselves from the rises.

April price rises are expected to add an extra £27.19 and £24.23 annually to broadband and mobile bills respectively for those on current market deals, 

For those who have stayed with the same provider, this equates to a 23.4% bill rise since March 2023.

So what can you do?

If you're out of contract (like around 4.2 million broadband customers), you'll be able to switch providers for free - and you should do so now to escape the price rises. 

You may want to use a comparison site to explore your options. 

Those who are still in contract may have to pay a penalty exit fee, although Sky Broadband, Direct Save Telecom and Giganet all allow customers to leave penalty free within the 30 day window of the price rise announcement (this does not apply to Sky TV customers). 

Even if there is an exit fee, you should check how much and weigh it against the longer term saving from switching. 

For those searching for a new broadband service, both Vodafone and Community Fibre are freezing prices until 2025 for those switching now ahead of the April increases. 

Shell Energy Broadband also guarantees no price rises for new customers joining after 22 January 2024 until subsequent years of their agreement. 

Smaller regional alternative networks, such as Trooli, Zen Internet and Hyperoptic, offer full fibre deals and have committed to not hiking their costs for consumers throughout their current contract agreements. 

When it comes to mobile phones, providers including Giffgaff, Talkmobile, Lebara, SMARTY, iD Mobile and Sky Mobile have committed to not increasing their prices mid-contract. 

If you find your mobile bill is going up, you might want a SIM-only deal - which could save you up to £321 a year, particularly if your handset is already paid off. 

To check how much it would cost to leave your current contract, text INFO to 85075.

You will receive a text message confirming if you have to pay exit fees to leave your provider. 

It's also worth considering your mobile data usage. If you regularly have data left over at the end of the month, consider reducing the data in your plan to save money.

By Ollie Cooper, Money team

We've all heard consumer advice that's repeated so often it almost becomes cliché. So, every Friday the Money team will get to the bottom of a different "fact" and decide whether it's a myth or must.

This week's is...

'Electricity is cheaper overnight'

Many of us are happy making small changes to shave off pennies from our energy bills - so how much, if any, attention should we pay to the time we use our electrical appliances?

For this one, we've enlisted the help of Roy Bedlow , chief executive and Founder of Low Carbon and Trust Power.

"Electricity's cost and environmental impact change throughout the day, influenced by demand and the sources generating it," Roy says.  

Peak hours, typically early morning and evening, see increased demand - leading to higher costs.

Prices can reach up to 13p per kWh, and, on extreme days, can soar as high as £1.95/kWh at 6pm (as we saw on 3 July last year). 

"At night, when demand drops, prices can fall to around 6.9p per kWh, showcasing the fluctuating nature of wholesale electricity costs," Roy says.

So we should use the washing machine late at night?

Not exactly. 

These days, most households are on standard variable tariffs and pay the same for each unit of electricity - a rate set by the energy price cap - so not everyone can benefit from lower prices later at night. 

However, some tariffs, like Octopus Tracker and Agile Tracker, adjust prices daily or every 30 minutes in line with wholesale prices.

"These tariffs are not covered by the price cap, so while they offer potential savings during low-price periods, they also expose consumers to higher costs during price spikes," Roy says. 

If you want capitalise more from lower cost, off-peak power, consider a Time of Use tariff - which incentivises off-peak use by offering periods with lower rates. 

"Households with predictable energy use patterns, such as charging electric vehicles overnight, can benefit significantly from these tariffs," Roy says. 

The aim is to shift at least 40% of energy usage to off-peak times for savings as unit costs will be higher than the price cap rate at other times.

An example...

Let's say you own an electric vehicle - and you're on a Time of Use tariff for your energy bill. 

You drive your car around 10,000 miles a year, which Roy estimates would require 3070kWh to charge over those 12 months. 

Should you only use off-peak hours to do so (a rate of around 7.5p/kWh at the time of writing), it'll cost around £230.25 to charge your vehicle for the year. 

Try charging at peak times and that amount jumps to £864.82 - a £634.57 increase. 

Two-for-one

As that example demonstrates - you can make some pretty significant savings if you make the most of the system's current format.  

It's not just potentially good for the wallet, but the environment too. 

"The carbon intensity of electricity, measured in grams of CO2 per kilowatt-hour, peaks during these high-demand periods, especially around 6.30pm, with the highest average grid carbon intensity," Roy says. 

"Conversely, it's lower around noon, demonstrating the environmental benefits of using electricity during off-peak times."

So, myth or must?

Quite simply, electricity varies in cost (and environmental impact) depending on when it's used. 

Understanding and adapting to these variations can lead to financial savings and reduced environmental impact.

This one's a money must. 

  Reports of bad behaviour have forced authorities in the Japanese city to ban tourists from some its most picturesque sightseeing spots. 

Tourists will no longer be able to enter the narrow private streets in the geisha district of Gion, with the ban coming into force next month.

Japan has seen its visitor numbers swell to pre-pandemic levels, but despite welcoming the economic boost it has struggled with overcrowding and incidents of bad behaviour among tourists. 

Authorities say the problem is particularly bad in Gion, where visitors have bothered female geisha and maiko performers travelling about. 

Geisha and maiko (teenage apprentices training to become geisha) perform Japanese traditional arts such as singing, dancing and playing instruments. 

Many work and live in the historic quarter of Gion and can be seen in their traditional kimonos and makeup. 

Local authorities say tourists have ignored signs asking them to keep their distance from the geisha and to refrain from touching their expensive kimonos. 

Complaints have also been received about people trespassing on private property.

"We don't want to do this, but we're desperate," said council member Isokazu Ota.

The main thoroughfare, Hanamikoji street, will stay open to tourists.

A sign will say in both Japanese and English: "This is a private road, so you are not allowed to drive through it."

It is aimed mainly at pedestrians, not cars, as the Japanese wording refers to generically "passing through".

"There will be a fine of 10,000 yen," the sign adds, which is about £53.

A staple of children's (and adult's) birthday parties for years, the iconic Colin the Caterpillar cake is familiar to most of us. 

But in a recent blind taste test, he was pipped to the post by the Co-op's version, Charlie the Caterpillar. 

Consumer watchdog Which? awarded Charlie a 72% score and the coveted "Best Buy" recommendation, saying the cake "wowed tasters" with its "ultimate combination of rich chocolate flavour, moist sponge and soft buttercream".

The original M&S Colin cake came in at a close second at 71%, beating most of its rivals with its "superior sponge and delicious chocolatey flavour" and also achieving a "Best Buy" recommendation.

The M&S cake costs £8.50 for 625g, while the Co-op version is £8 for 660g.

Perhaps Colin's most notorious rival, Aldi's Cuthbert the Caterpillar, did not fare so well - see his score below.

M&S took Aldi to court over Cuthbert, accusing the supermarket of copying Colin.

An undisclosed settlement reached by the grocers did not deter Aldi from going on to release an ad in which it announced it was "like M&S, only cheaper", and showing rival caterpillar cakes Cuthbert and Colin breaking into a scuffle at a party.

Here's how the other doppelgangers fared... 

  • Morrison's Morris the Caterpillar (£7.50 for 624g) came in third with a score of 70%. Testers said its sponge was "a little disappointing" 
  • Waitrose scored 69% for Cecil the Caterpillar (£8.50 for 720g), with almost half of tasters saying there was too much sponge compared with the buttercream
  • Aldi's Cuthbert, the cheapest option at £5.49 for 625g, achieved 68% - with nearly half of tasters saying the sponge was too dry
  • Tesco's Slinky the Caterpillar (£7.50 for 648g) also had a score of 68%, with tasters finding it "too dry" and lacking buttercream
  • Asda's Letty (£7.50 for 615g) came last with a score of 67% after tasters were concerned about its weak chocolate flavour and dry sponge

Which? head of home products and services Natalie Hitchins said: "The scores across the board were quite close, so you can't go too far wrong with a caterpillar cake, but if you want the best, we advise you to head to Co-op or M&S."

By James Sillars , business reporter

Let's start with a first for the week - some news from the currency markets.

The pound hit a two-month high versus the dollar, above $1.28, yesterday afternoon and that level has been maintained.

The shift, of more than a cent, was not down to anything we did but can be attributed to remarks by America's top central banker.

The chair of the Federal Reserve, Jay Powell, was seen as confirming that the timing for a US interest rate cut has drawn nearer.

Higher interest rates are generally supportive of a currency so the dollar lost ground against most major currencies after his comments.

A weaker dollar means your money goes further when on holiday in the US.

On the stock markets, the weaker greenback may have slightly harmed big dollar-earning companies on the FTSE 100.

It's down, but not by much, after a stronger week to date.

The index is trading 0.1% lower at 7,680.

Energy shares were leading the way, likely on the back of an uptick in oil prices, with a barrel of Brent crude trading 0.8% higher at $83.
