Added Income From OPTI-FEE:
WCT offers OPTI-FEE, the industry’s exclusive, fully flexible service fee program. OPTI-FEE helps WCT travel affiliates increase profitability and overall success by giving them the option to add nightly (or per booking) transaction fees to all online hotel bookings.

WCT affiliates have the ability to select the option that works best for their own business. The available options are:

Charge NO OPTI-FEES

Charge OPTI-FEES on ONLINE NON-COMMISSIONABLE RATES and those hotel chains that pay below average commission

Charge OPTI-FEES on ALL ONLINE RESERVATIONS

The Affiliate may elect to charge OPTI-FEES using WCT’s standard default schedule, or may create a customized fee schedule. The minimum OPTI-FEE that can be charged when using a customized fee schedule is $1.75 per night, and the maximum allowable charge is $30.00 per transaction.

WCT OPTI-FEE default schedule for online hotel bookings:

$1.75 per night on bookings less than $79.99 per night
$2.75 per night on bookings between $80.00 and $119.99 per night
$3.75 per night on bookings higher than $120.00 per night
* Fees are capped at $15.00 per booking

Example (default schedule): If a customer books 2 nights @ $110.00 per night, then a fee of $2.75 per night will be charged, amounting to a total service fee of $5.50. OPTI-FEES will be charged to the customer's credit card at the time of booking and will appear on the customer's credit card with the name of your business (which can be customized in our Partner Support Center) or website.

WCT will share 50% of the OPTI-FEE with you after deducting an equal split of the merchant fee charged by the credit card company. Since adding our exclusive OPTI-FEE feature, WCT travel affiliates are reporting revenue increases as high as 33% per month!
