I just found out something about UTC - the commission you get through your site bookings is 25% of 25% (6.75%). Hmmm - i smell scam!!
You can only get ahead in UTC or any other MLM by signing up A LOT of other people who statistically will have a 97% failure rate. hmmm - I don't want that on my concience. When we thought the commissions were 25% of booking thru our site, it seemed worth it. Now, we find better rates elsewhere without paying $30 a month. What a gyp!! We're getting out as soon as possible.
Another sleezy thing about UTC. My father was going to book through us - the rates for hotels were all the same as when he called the actual hotels. Except for one - the "BEST VALUE" rate that showed up for the first hotel. It was $10 dollars higher than when he contacted the hotel!! UTC WILL make some people millionaires, but it will do so on the backs of many people who get suckered in (like we did) on false promises. If you want that on your concience, so be it. I'll make my money the honest way - hard work and education!

BHP, your facts are wrong.
UCT pays reps 25% of the MARGIN on each booking as a new rep.
UCT reps as they promote can earn up to 47% of the margin for each trip book.

quite right - mlmguruguy - turns out that was merely an example my 'higher up was giving me. Devilish blighter to try and find that in the literature. The margin could be 25% of total booking, and new reps would get 25% of that. I strongly suspect that the average margin is significantly lower, however.
My honest review of UTC - is that it's classic mlm. You have to sign up a significant amount of people to make reasonable income - even breaking even thinking you're going to sell travel is a bit of a pipe dream. The benefits for agents are so-so, but unless you travel A LOT, you can get better deals elswhere w/out paying the upfront fee and monthly fee.
Just as in any mlm - sign up a whole bunch of people, most of which will have a bad experience and quit, and you will make money.

Many on this thread got in early (I did as well). This will make some people a lot of money, but at the expense of a lot of other people who don't take advantage of the gullibility of others. I realize there is HUGE income potential - but the wife and I talked about it and can't have it on our concience. Someday it will saturate (and likely soon - Steve's other dream children did), and will leave some people very rich, and others in the cold. This is mlm land.
