When WorldVia gets paid is a common question among all members. The answer, however, is not so common and easy.
Each supplier has their own timeline for when they issue payments, some do it once a month, some do it after booking, some are after travel, etc. The easiest way to explain it would be based on the type of travel.
Airfare - Airfare gets paid once the tickets are issued. Once the airfare ticket is paid in full, the airline will issue the commission check to WorldVia, and in turn, we will process that payment and it will show up on the member's statement within a few days.
Insurance - Insurance is very similar to airfare, once the policy is paid in full and the premium is paid, the insurance company will issue the check out to WorldVia. Note: Some insurance supplier partners only pay once a month so there might be a slight delay in payment
Cruise - Cruise Lines work a little differently, they issue the check as soon as the cruise is paid in full. Since final payment for cruises is usually 90-120 days prior to sailing, you should receive your commission before your client even travels. But be sure to keep that money in the account till your client travels because if they cancel, the Cruise Line will come for its money back. Note: Group bookings may take longer to pay out compared to individual bookings
Hotel - Just like all the other types, hotels wait till the total cost is paid. Since there are usually fees or a remaining balance when the client travels, a commission check usually does not get issued till after the travel is complete. Note: Based on experience, our estimate is 30-45 days after travel before the check is issued
Note: This guideline is just an estimate and not a guarantee, supplier payment times can vary based on many factors
