Can you take the set up fee of $ 449.95 out of your checks or do you need this before I can start my business? Also, one of your sights says that a Rep can’t sell travel, then the next line it said that a RTA couldn’t sell travel. So I am a little confused. Then what would I do?
The $499.95 is the start up fee to become a Referring Travel Agent (RTA) with YTB. RTA’s can sell travel and promote the YTB Opportunity. It is free to become a “Rep” (also called an IMR). Reps can only promote the YTB Opportunity. Reps can not sell travel. You may find the following pages on our website helpful:
