This is applies to all of our agents where the client is paying you via cash or check.  There is no action that is required by you at this time or in the future unless you have a cruise or tour booking where this is the form of payment.  This is an ongoing program to ensure timely payments.

We are happy to announce a way to assist you if your client is paying their cruise or tour reservation by cash or check.  However, if the client is paying using their own credit card then you can make the payment directly with the vendor.

If your client uses cash or a check, then that payment must be made by our Agency check from our bank account as most vendor’s policy is to not accept a check from your agency, but only from the agency of record, Travel Network/Vacation Central.  Therefore we can Auto-draft your bank account and then pay the vendor on your behalf.  The amount must be the gross amount.  There is no fee for us to process this transaction.

Here is the link to the Auto-Draft Form that would be used in order to for us to draft your bank account and then pay the vendor.  This form is also posted on the agent homepage on our website.

We have had several vendors return an agent’s check back to our company and advise us that payment must be sent by our Agency Check.  This can cause cancellation of your client’s cruise or tour if payment is not made properly.

This excludes hotel & car bookings that you are paying in cash and does not require that we make the payment on your behalf.
