Cruise to Cash Introduces Two New Programs
As has become a regular occurrence with Cruise to Cash, a couple of new programs are being added to the member benefits effective around mid-July. Since I have been a member (around 9 months now), Cruise to Cash has consistently been adding new features to the product family in an effort to make CTC the very best travel company to be found. In addition, each and every time, the current membership are grandfathered in at no additional cost.
Being a member of Cruise to Cash has truly been like riding a wave that just keeps building… and it promises to get even better with the new announcements!
The details are still being worked out but the basics are outlined below. Two new programs are being introduced and they will be available to the entire membership, regardless of level. To make all of this possible CTC has partnered with a couple of travel industry giants,each with a long and proven track record.
The first new addition is a “Concierge Card” program. The company that is partnering with CTC in offering this service has been in business for 24 years and has worked with many other companies. CTC will be the only networking company that is offering this service and from the initial indication this is going to be really exciting. CTC will be offering three card options at the start:
o Condo card
o Cruise card
o Hotel card
In general these cards can be purchased (we think one time purchase at this point) for a nominal fee and they will give the owner access to special deals, additional services, 24/7 concierge service to provide a unique travel experience and more. Members will be able to sell these cards individually without requiring the purchaser to become a member of CTC. What this means is that there will now be a retail travel product that isn’t necessarily tied to the business opportunity - a feature that just makes the Cruise to Cash business untouchable. Not everyone is interested in having a business but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t enjoy the travel benefits! One other feature of these cards is that there is no waiting period and no blackout times - you can take advantage of them immediately upon purchase. Oh, and the “icing on the cake” is that the member who sold the card gets a commission every time the card is used - the possibilities here are mind-blowing!
The second new program is a “Vacation Rewards” program. Everybody and their brother offers rewards programs these days but often in the travel industry it is very difficult to actually use the rewards accumulated. CTC has partnered with a company that has the largest travel inventory in the world - more than twice the inventory of the 4 largest travel providers (i.e. Expedia, Travelocity, etc). The rewards will be based on a points system that will actually lower the price of travel from the retail or wholesale price (not an inflated price that just brings you back to retail with points!). With the huge inventory, these rewards can actually be used! More details on this will be coming out soon. However, what we do know is that CTC corporate will be picking up the join fee for all of its paid members for a specified period of time. This is the type of thing we have come to expect from CTC!
Miscellaneous other announcements:
o New marketing sites and tools to coincide with the start of the new programs - mid-July
o Commissions can be made on sales and on travel taken by the member as well as those who have purchased cards from them
o True international travel - bookings can originate in over 140 countries, not just the US
o Will have the opportunity to private label the concierge cards for businesses
Each of these would be a major addition by themselves but, together? There is nothing like CTC in the marketplace!
Cruise to Cash is truly one-of-a-kind!
Stay tuned for more details to be announced in the next couple of weeks leading up to the implementation mid-July.
