Travel agent commissions
Utell is committed to seeing that travel agents receive their commissions on all hotel bookings made through Utell. That's why we offer TravelCom, a web based system for Utell hotels that tracks the status of all Utell reservations and reports on the commission due. This means that you can check the progress of your commission payments from your computer at any time.
In addition, book using our prepayment service Paytell by phone, online or on the GDS and you will instantly receive your commission. This means no more chasing commissions and no more waiting, you get paid instantly.

Paytell
Utell's long established and popular payment system, Paytell, allows travel agents commission to be deducted at time of making the reservation. Paytell was launched in 1979, and is a service whereby a travel agent deducts its commission owed automatically in their own currency from the client's pre-payment when a reservation is made.
The Paytell system:
- improves cash flow for the travel agent
- saves the hotel manual effort
- reduces no-shows for hotels since a pre-paying client is more likely to keep their booking
Paytell is free to all Utell member hotels and is included in the contract they sign with Utell. How to make a
