It's horrible being the agent in the position where the customer is going to give you run round because they can't decide whom they want to commit to!!
If I was in this position, which I have been in many…"
"If it were I, I would kindly tell her that we both can't be working on this, and if she wants me to handle it, she'll have to butt out (kinder words would be helpful, lol). But only one of you can be in charge. "
Patti Metzger replied to Patti Metzger's discussion Costco - How is everyone handling pricing with Costco?"Hahaha! Funny Renetta. I was honest with the young couple. I explained that I couldn’t match the perks they were being offered. They are planning a bigger trip later in the year and they will need assistance as Costco doesn’t customize…"
Renetta Kunnath replied to Patti Metzger's discussion Costco - How is everyone handling pricing with Costco?"I was at the Costco Service counter renewing my card and the Costco employe was telling the the couple next to me all about their travel benefits.

Destination bride going directly to vendors, I worry the resorts will push me out!
So I have a very high end bride, the biggest budget Ive worked with yet... in her excitement she is contacting a bunch of resorts directly. Grand Velas quoted her a wedding that was super cheap - $12,000 for 120 people. Obviously they're super low wedding to try to get all those guests there... well today she messages them back asking if they can come down and they drop the price to $5000! Well I know dang well they're trying to squeeze me out of the equation! What can I do? My bride has messaged probably 20 different resorts. Ive explained how tour operators work hoping shed back off and let me do the legwork but thats not happening. Im afraid Ill do months of work only to have her discover that Grand Velas is giving her a great rate only bcuz they think shes booking direct, once they discover she has an agent they back up, then shes forced to decide between saving ten grand or working with an agent.....what the heck do I do here?!?!

"Kristi is correct.
I have been issuing airline tickets for two decades. Agency GDS contracts are registered with that particular agency's ARC/IATA number. That agency can ONLY issue an agency reduced fare ticket via their GDS…"
"Do not even attempt to match or beat Costco because their clients buy only on price and not service. Gear your business to more high end travel. I also shop at Costco but do not expect service except at the pharmacy and eye…"
"All girls in their late 40's. They insist on all inclusive. Between the Barcelo and Riu Antillas what do you think? "
Patti Metzger replied to Patti Metzger's discussion Costco - How is everyone handling pricing with Costco?"Frustrating!! I love shopping at Costco, but I never purchase any of their additional services they promote on your way out of the store. But I understand that for a traveler, I'm sure it is hard to pass up a $300-$400 gift card to…"
"Patti, yes, they have increased their offerings so it can be very tempting.
I have even lost business from very wealthy clients to whom the price was more important than anything else."
Ann Grubb replied to Daria Dimitroff's discussion Greece Supplier for a Villa?"Ooooohhhhhhhh Yes!!! I did a destination wedding for a Bridezilla in June of 2017. I actually booked with 3 different tour operators for a villa for the parents, hotel for the guests, and ferry/transfers for…"
