Marriott Renews Long Term Agreement with Pegasus Solutions

Marriott has renewed its agreement with Pegasus Solutions for the company to continue providing hotel reservation payments to travel agents through Pegasus’ Global Commission Processing service until 2014.

“Our Hotel Excellence! program doesn’t just arm agents with the knowledge to sell Marriott, but also provides coaching on selling travel in general. We understand that if we can help their business through professional guidance and prompt payment, they’ll serve as valuable partners in helping ours, which is why we opt for Pegasus’ leading commission-processing services,” said Julius Robinson, vice president of global sales intermediaries for Marriott International, Inc.. “Our 12 year ongoing relationship with Pegasus Solutions demonstrates our total faith in ensuring agents have access to a first-rate and highly effective payments service.”

Marriott also maintains a track record of receiving a low percentage of agency reconciliation inquiries, only 6% of their bookings result in an inquiry, and 100% are closed in an average of less than 23 days.

Pegasus’ Global Commission Processing through Marriott offers agents weekly commission payments with check or direct deposit in any of 37 currencies.

As a preferred commission payment provider for over 60,000 travel agencies worldwide, Pegasus enables Marriott to provide a consistently reliable and reputable service internationally.

“Marriott has an incredibly large global presence that makes maintaining a dependable experience for guests a tall order, not to mention also for agents booking,” said Mark S. Dubrow, president of Pegasus financial services. “By choosing Pegasus, they know they’ll be able to offer agents the respect and service the travel agent community has come to expect from Marriott.”

Marriott International, Inc. offers more than 3,000 hotels worldwide to agents under 13 brands, including JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts, Marriott Hotels & Resorts, Renaissance Hotels & Resorts, and Courtyard by Marriott Hotels.
