tidygirl Posted June 26, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2014 You always hear how much a mom is worth so if I add trip planner to my list with all the hours of planning, phone calls etc how much can I tell my family my commission should be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidygirl Posted June 26, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) I do LOVE planning but my family is always razzing each other and I thought if I had a $ amount or a % of what a TA is worth it would help me out! if I was paid by the hour I'd be quite well off!

sonvoltken6 Posted June 26, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 26, 2014 At least one visit to Chops and several scoops of Ben and Jerry's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agutaya Posted June 26, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 26, 2014 At least one spa treatment. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted June 27, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hourly rates for travel agents are pitiful. Don't go down that road. I agree with sonvoltken. Dinner in a specialty restaurant. At least, that's what my kids have done the past couple of cruise. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celebrity Posted June 27, 2014 #10 Share Posted June 27, 2014 At least one spa treatment. :) Yes, a spa treatment of your choice. Some bling from a jewelry store of your choice and a cruise anywhere in tne world as a thank you for all the hard work you put into making the cruise so special. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbyj Posted June 27, 2014 #11 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I was a travel agent for 40 years. The last time I worked about 6 years ago it was commission only and I figured out I made about $1.00 an hour working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, lol So, unless you work for a very large travel agency that has a lot of cruise bookings, you make nothing.
