Creator's Key Takeaways
If you get a call from me, you know that it's usually because we have a problem with one of your bookings or your customer has claimed a chargeback or we've been given a fraudulent credit card.
It's just too good to be true.
If you don't have all this proper documentation, um, we have no way to help resolve this in your behalf.
No third-party credit cards. The card holder must be one of these passengers.
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Always have clients fill out the Archer Travel credit card authorization form for bookings within 21 days.
✓Never accept third-party credit cards; the cardholder must be a passenger on the booking.
✓Verify client identities by checking addresses on Google Maps and performing reverse phone lookups.
✓Be cautious of social media inquiries from unknown individuals, especially those in a hurry or offering deals that seem too good to be true.
✓Contact your upline or Archer Travel if you suspect fraud or feel uncomfortable with a booking.
