I am a bonafide travel agent at goldrush and I am proud to say it. I have learned so much from them in the training programs both on-line and in person. I have acc status which means I am a accredited cruise counselor. I know so called travel agents who don't even have this. I have gone on lots of trips and our agency is some of the top sellers for many cruise lines. The free cruise is given from a 3rd party and they are the ones giving a hard time booking this......not Goldrush. Anyone who calls us a card mill hasn't really looked into the program and tried it. They think that because we have a lot of members that it is a card scam. We do have member who bought into our company thinking ""poof"" they are travel agents but that isn't true. In order to be sucessful you use the tools and the training given you. If you do nothing then of course you will think it is a scam. Most all of our agents also have clia cards with cruiseline international. Once again regualar travel agents don't have these. I am tired our our company getting a bad rap from people who don't know. You can't get something for nothing.\r
Perhaps the sales force is a little pushy but you get that\r
at a lot of places. You need to say no just like you do other sales people if you are truly not interested.Otherwise do not put the company down unless you have tried it.
