A legitimate home-based travel host company is registered with relevant authorities, holds necessary licenses and certifications, is affiliated with recognized travel associations, operates transparently, has positive customer reviews, and maintains proper tax records. Yes, we have all of THOSE!

The ease of learning the ins and outs of a home-based travel business largely depends on your prior knowledge, skills, and passion for the travel industry. While it can be a rewarding and exciting venture, it also requires an understanding of various aspects such as travel planning, customer service, marketing, and industry trends. With dedication, resources, and the right training, it can certainly be learned and mastered over time.

We get paid residual and travel commissions on an Akimbo Prepaid Mastercard. Residual commissions are not automatically transferred to the prepaid card. You must withdraw residual commissions from the eWallet in your back office in order to transfer money to your prepaid card. Note: All travel commissions are paid by Archer Travel.

The Akimbo Prepaid Mastercard can be ordered via a link in our back office (you cannot order a card directly with Akimbo; if you order a card directly on the Akimbo website, Evolution and Archer Travel will not be able to post payments to the card). Once you receive your Akimbo Prepaid Mastercard, you must input the card identifier in your back office to link the prepaid card to your account in order to get paid.

A FAM trip (or familiarisation trip) is where travel agents (and/or potential clients) are invited by a supplier to experience a hotel or an activity first-hand. A FAM trip is seen as an ordinary part of doing business as a travel agent, meaning it could potentially be tax-deductible. However, if the trip is seen as lavish, extravagant, or primarily for personal enjoyment, it may not be. It's important to note that tax laws can be complex and change frequently, and this information might not be up-to-date or complete. Therefore, it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional or the IRS directly for advice on your specific situation.

There is an option to cancel your membership in the back office. Go to “Account” on the left tab menu and select “Cancel Account”. The only other way to cancel your account or membership is in writing. It is the agent’s responsibility to cancel; you cannot cancel for someone else (you may forward a partner’s original request).
