IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
How will I be billed?
Your billing will remain the same as the Society with no change to your payment schedule or payment method (same credit card). Card information may be updated if necessary online in your new Agent virtual office under My Profile once you have transferred.
Is there a cost to transfer?
No, as long as you opt in by the deadline, there are no fees or costs other than the same ongoing monthly fee as the Society program, paid on the same schedule.
What if I don’t want to transfer?
The feedback has been unanimous that this is what the Society members in your country want, but if you do not opt into the transfer by July 31, 2017, you will remain a SOIT member and continue to receive these benefits. If you decide to join the agent program later, you will be required to pay the prevailing price of enrollment and monthly fees at that time, with no Charter Agent benefits.
Can I change my mind?
The offer to transfer will not be repeated. Once the transfer is made, it cannot be reversed.

Is InteleTravel ATOL?
ATOL is a set of consumer protection regulations that applies to “Principals” or “Originators” of travel packages, the holiday companies that create the trips/deals. InteleTravel and you are “Agents” selling those packages and are not properly subject to ATOL. However all the holiday and package products InteleTravel agents sell to customers will be ATOL protected by the companies/brands that originate them.
How will commissions be paid?
Hyperwallet will allow agents in the UK to receive travel commissions through direct deposit or transfer to pre-paid debit card, avoiding the expense of paper check delivery and related bank fees. This is the same company as Paylution used by PlanNet Marketing, but you will need a separate account for your InteleTravel travel commissions. When your first travel commission is due, Hyperwallet will notify you and instruct you by email how to create your account and transfer your funds. There is no need to create an account until a commission is due to you.
As a PlanNet rep what product will I be selling to residents of my country?
PlanNet reps will be able to sell the independent travel agent program in the UK now, but no longer sell Society memberships there. Your PlanNet website will no longer route residents of the UK to SOIT product info or enrollment, and now will offer InteleTravel ITA product only, upon this launch.
What about mainland France?
Residents of mainland France will be directed to SOIT product only, and no agent program will be available there until future notice.
