"It will continue. Trust me. It will. Because you can do nothing about it. They have used us. And now they CAN operate without us. They have your clients database (preregistrations).

That is how I feel...."
Cindy Watty replied to Georgia Joyner's discussion Sandals Resorts 10 % discount to Firefighters only pays 10 % agent comm."Interesting that Sandals claims to offer the military discount, but it's really US who are paying for it!"
Nadia Shtrafonenko replied to Geoff Millar's discussion APPLE CRYSTAL"Geoff, congratulations, you really deserve it. We, too, Crystal with Apple, but first time. I hope, that we would be able to meet each other in Chicago - there are so many questions to discuss agency to agency. "

Cruise Chick replied to Tina Messamore's discussion A Sandals Soon Come Back "Update""I have been saying for 2 years that Sandals is moving away from agents.

We have been honored, selected and awarded the Apple Crystal award from Apple Vacations, their highest level, for the second year in a row. It is only awarded to 2 agencies in each region of the country and is based on production, involvement in the travel industry and is voted on by senior management within Apple Vacations. We are so proud of our employees and our ICs, without them this would not have been possible.See More
