Highest Supplier
Commission Threshold

As a travel advisor, most commissions are paid by the supplier—not your clients. This means you can focus on providing exceptional service without adding to your clients’ budgets.

FAQs

  • 1What commission rate will I start at as a new advisor?
    As a new Trevello advisor, you’ll begin with an 85% commission split—one of the highest starting rates in the industry. Many competitors cap at 80%, but at Trevello, you can work your way to 100% commission within the same calendar year. Just reach $15,000 in commissions, and your split will be automatically upgraded.
  • 2Can I really earn 100% commission on my sales?
    Absolutely! Trevello is proud to offer a 100% commission model—a rare benefit among host agencies. Once you earn $15,000 in commission in a calendar year, your commission rate increases to 100% for the rest of that year.
  • 3How often are commissions paid out?
    We pay our advisors bi-weekly, taking the hassle out of chasing down payments. While other agencies may leave you managing your own collections, Trevello ensures consistent, reliable payouts every two weeks so you can focus on serving your clients.
  • 4Are there booking minimums?
    Never. At Trevello, we believe in giving you the freedom and flexibility to build your business your way. There are no sales quotas or booking minimums. Grow at your own pace.
  • 5Why does my commission reset to 85% exclusive January 1?
    The annual reset ensures fairness and opportunity for all advisors. Every January, all advisors start fresh at 85%, with the chance to reach 100% again based on that year’s production. This model rewards consistent performance and gives everyone a level playing field.
  • 6How do I get back to 100% after the reset?
    It’s simple—once you’ve earned $15,000 in commissions within the calendar year, your rate automatically increases to 100% for the rest of that year. No applications, no waiting. Just hit the mark and enjoy the upgrade.
  • 7If I reach $15,000 early in the year, do I keep 100% for the rest of the year?
    Yes! The earlier you qualify, the longer you benefit. For example, if you hit the $15,000 mark in March, you’ll receive 100% commission on all eligible bookings from that point through December 31st.
