ALG Vacations Enhances United Vacations Program

1 month ago 7

ALG Vacations (ALGV) announced enhancements to its United Vacations program this year. The changes focus on improving commission structures, expanding MileagePlus benefits and an enhanced seat incentive program to maximize travel advisor earnings.

“ALG Vacations continues to prioritize advisor profitability while delivering greater value to travelers,” said Jacki Marks, Global Head of Trade Brands. “Advisors already earn WAVES points on every booking and more rewards upon reaching ALGV Elite and/or WAVEMAKER status. These latest updates from United Vacations give advisors even more ways to earn through enhanced commissions and incentives, while providing clients with greater opportunities to maximize their rewards while traveling on an expanding network of United Airlines routes and service options.”

Earn Commission on Airfare

Travel advisors will now earn 10% air commission on Premium Cabins for non-North American destinations and 8% for Mexico, Central America, Caribbean and Hawaii bookings. These commissions apply to United First, United Business, and United Premium Plus cabins. Additionally, advisors earn 5% on United Economy cabins for Hawaii and international air/hotel reservations on United Airlines-operated flights.

Expanded MileagePlus Benefits

MileagePlus members can now earn up to 11x the airfare in miles on both bulk and published fares. Chase MileagePlus cardholders receive additional perks, including a free checked bag and 2 miles per $1 spent on United Vacations packages. Travelers continue to enjoy low deposits starting at $250.

Improved Seat Incentive

The United Vacations Seat Incentive now offers a $250 United Airlines air voucher for every $100,000 in United Vacations revenue booked. Premium Cabin reservations count at double rate, helping advisors reach rewards faster. The incentive applies to all new bookings through December 31, 2025, and now features an unlimited travel window, removing the previous one-year restriction.
