What are commission tiers?

Xstream Travel pays our agents on a commission tier level payment schedule that is based on commissions earned and qualifications in the travel industry. 

Commission Tier payment schedule:

  • Tier 1 and New Face receive 75% of the commission sent to Xstream by the vendor. This means if $100 in commission is sent to Xstream, the agent will receive $75.  
  • Tier 2 receives 85% of the commission sent to Xstream by the vendor. This means that if $100 in commission is sent to Xstream, the agent will receive $85.  

    To receive commission on the Tier 2 payment schedule the agent must be a current IATA card holding agent -or- must earn $5,000+ commission in a year.

How do I view my enroller 5% bonus commission?

You can view your commission reports from your XstreamCRM under the Commission Reporting tab. 

When will my tier level be updated? 

Commission tiers are updated at the beginning of each month based on your total previous earnings in the current calendar year. To upgrade to a commission tier 2, you need to earn a total of $5,000 or more in commission. This means all new bookings posted to your XstreamCRM after your tier level is adjusted will receive this new commission percentage.

We do not go back and retroactively pay commissions on a different tier level. It is based on a full years earnings up to date in that current year.

For example, if your total yearly earnings so far in 2024 equal $300 in January, but then in February you earn a $7,000 commission for a group booking, your commission tier will upgrade to tier 2 in March. Any booking moving forward from March 2024 onwards will receive a commission tier 2 level of earnings at 85%.
