“I was helping all my friends plan their Disney vacations and not making any money. I knew there had to be a way to get paid for doing all that planning.”
Advisor Benefits
Our travel Advisors earn a commission from partner brands on each trip they sell, but the profession is so much more rewarding than that. When you become an Advisor with InteleTravel, you’ll find joy in building unique experiences for your friends, family, and followers while growing your own passion for travel, education, and personal development—not to mention your business.
Part-time passion.
Full-time career.
Anytime you want.
Benefits of becoming a travel advisor

Typically, commissions from suppliers range from 10% to 28% of the travel purchase. Once you become a travel Advisor, InteleTravel pays 70% to 80% of those commissions to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I log in to the website?
Go to www.inteletravel.com and click the Advisor Login in the top right to login area.
When will I receive my PIN/username?
You will receive an email confirmation of your enrollment within 24 hours that will include your PIN and a password for access to the Advisors Only section of the website. We also send a text-only email as a double measure.
Can I change my PIN and password?
A PIN cannot be changed. However, you can change your password to something more memorable, by selecting the My Profile link from the Advisors Only area of InteleTravel.
Are there any costs at all for the personalized travel websites?
No. No design or setup fees, which normally could be hundreds or even thousands of dollars. No monthly hosting fees – other companies charge $20 to $100 per month. So with these new personalized websites, you not only earn thousands, but you save thousands too.
What education resources are available through InteleTravel?
InteleTravel gives you access to many online courses, live events, respected industry organizations and other training resources (most of which are complimentary, or at a nominal fee paid to others). Remember, this is travel – and these are fun, experiential courses and events like seminars on cruise ships or theme dinner trade shows, not dry, boring classroom stuff. The more you learn, the more you earn.
How do I earn commissions?
Commissions on travel sales are paid to the independent travel advisor for bookings of airline tickets, cruises, hotels, car rentals, vacation and tour packages, travel insurance and more, with almost all suppliers worldwide, to nearly every destination in the world. Your customers can even go to your personalized InteleTravel website and do the booking themselves.
How much commission will I earn and when is it paid?
As a new advisor, you will be paid 70% of the commissions paid to InteleTravel.com for your bookings, with no sales quota or qualifications required. You can increase your share to 80% by achieving certain goals. Supplier commissions range from 8 to 25% of the travel purchase (not including taxes and fees), with most in the 10 to 15% range. Commissions may be subject to industry standard adjustment by credit card processors and for technology or transaction costs.
Do I have to take a test or take classes?
There is a simple video course you review, with basic quizzes after each YouTube-style short video, in total less than two hours of viewing. You are only required to view that course and read our training materials, which you can do in a few hours at home. However, InteleTravel.com highly encourages further travel education, and we give you access to many online courses, live events, respected industry organizations and other training resources (most of which are complimentary, or at a nominal fee paid to others).
