Questions, Answered
The honest FAQ.
How much can I realistically earn?+
Active partners earn between $1,500 and $25,000+ per booking depending on trip value, service tier, and whether the referral converts into a membership. Top-performing partners in the luxury-advisor segment clear six figures annually as a side stream. Earnings compound when your clients become recurring engagements.
When do commissions pay out?+
Monthly. Commissions are paid on the fifteenth of the month following the booking's payment to us. Real-time tracking dashboard shows pending commissions, paid commissions, and your year-to-date earnings. No invoicing, no chasing.
Do I need a travel agent license?+
No. Le Réseau is a referral relationship, not a reseller program. You introduce your clients. We handle the actual sale of services. Whether you operate under an existing IATA accreditation, a Virtuoso membership, or independently is your decision and your jurisdiction's rules to follow.
Is there a cost to join?+
No. Le Réseau is application-only but free to active partners. We invest in our partners through dedicated onboarding, a quarterly check-in with the founder, and priority response on all your client bookings. There are no platform fees, listing fees, or revenue minimums.
Can I track my referrals in real time?+
Yes. Approved partners get a dashboard showing every referred booking, its status (inquiry, confirmed, completed, paid), the commission earned, and the projected payout date. Updated within minutes of changes on our end.
What happens if my client cancels?+
If the booking cancels before any non-refundable payment to us, the commission is also cancelled. If the booking cancels after we have incurred costs, you keep the proportional commission on what we kept. We never claw back paid commissions retroactively.
Who actually joins Le Réseau?+
Three types of partner. Independent travel advisors with established luxury rolodexes (five years minimum). Virtuoso and Signature Travel Network members whose clients want hospitality work beyond hotel bookings. Family office travel managers handling principals' multi-property arrangements. We turn down more applicants than we accept.
