CCRA Travel Solutions Introduces "Cash Rewards"Agent Incentive Program

Online, July 1, 2010 (Newswire.com) - FORT WORTH, TEXAS - June 16, 2010 - CCRA Travel Solutions - a leading provider of business-related solutions for the travel professional - has introduced CCRACa$hRewards™: an agent incentive program that pays agents an additional dollar for every consumed hotel room night booked through CCRAtravel.com. Valid for bookings made across all CCRA Travel Solutions rate categories, including the popular new 15% COMMISSION/ Express™ program, this extra cash bonus is another way CCRA Travel Solutions helps agents earn more money, while still providing their clients with the most competitive hotel rates available.

The CCRACa$hRewards program is FREE and available for all existing or new CCRAtravel.com registered users. To begin receiving cash rewards, registered agents must simply update their CCRAtravel.com agent profile by clicking on My Account, and filling in the new information categories, as instructed upon login. Agents with valid travel ID's such as TRUE, IATA, CLIA or TIDS who have not yet registered for CCRAtravel.com, may sign-up for this hotel booking portal for free. To join, new agents must simply complete the new portal user registration form which will automatically activate their cash rewards eligibility - as well as provide agents with access to real-time availability for up to five different rate categories from a single search at over 160,000 hotels worldwide

"CCRA Travel Solutions has created this complimentary Cash Rewards Program to affirm our commitment and support of the travel agent industry," said Mai Meyaart, Vice President and Managing Director of CCRA Travel Solutions. "In addition to offering new commission rate categories such as our 15% Commission/Express, and issuing commission payments on a weekly basis - we strive to find new ways to enhance our hotel booking portal and solidify the success of travel professionals. This Cash Rewards Program is just another incentive that will help travel professionals earn more money, faster - and we are offering it as a "thank you" to all CCRAtravel.com users."

What sets the CCRA Travel Solutions portal apart from any other hotel booking engine is the fact that CCRAtravel.com consolidates rates and inventory from a variety of vendors, and makes the them available in a single search. Agents are thus presented with a variety of rate categories for each hotel selected, and can easily choose the room type, amenities, rates and restrictions that will be best for their client and most profitable for them. The five rate categories include CCRA negotiated rates; GDS rates; Internet discounted rates; net rates and the new, 15% Enhanced Commission rate. Additionally, many CCRA travel suppliers provide agents with preferred rates and exclusive promotions that are only available for bookings made on CCRAtravel.com.

For all registered agents who update their account or for new agents who register for CCRAtravel.com, one US dollar will be allotted for every consumed room night that is booked through CCRAtravel.com. Once agents are eligible to begin receiving the Cash Rewards, all accruals of $25 or more will be paid on a monthly basis. Cash Reward balances that remain under $25, will be paid bi-annually. The Cash Rewards payment will be issued separately from CCRA's regular commission payments - which are now issued on a weekly basis with a direct deposit option. For more information or to register for FREE, agents can visit www.CCRAtravel.com and click "REGISTER."
