Consumers to earn by introducing friends to online holiday firm
Consumers are being offered commission on holiday sales if they encourage friends and family to book with a new online club.
Members who join the OctopusTravelCLUB earn two per cent commission (or £5 per £250 booking) if a friend books with the company.
The club has been established by internet travel company Octopus Travel, which is backed by Gullivers Travel Associates, claimed to be the world’s largest wholesale travel company with annual sales of more than $1 billion.
The club aims to encourage consumers to introduce ‘circles of friends’ to the club, with increasing commission earning potential depending on the volume of bookings made.
People who sign up can track the amount of commission they have earned and the size of the circle of friends via a password protected account. Commission fees are paid into members’ credit cards once they have earned £25 or more.
The next step for the club is to arrange for commissions to be donated to charity.
Octopus managing director Ray Mason said: “Getting to this moment has been a real challenge. We had to work with many international financial institutions to develop automated methods of paying commissions to our members online in all major currencies anywhere in the world.”
