One of the most common questions people ask when exploring travel as an income stream is simple: How does the money actually work?
The answer is refreshingly clear.
At Habitats by Kat, commissions are paid directly by travel partners after a client completes their trip. Each partner sets their own timeline, which typically ranges from 30–90 days post-departure, depending on the type of travel.
Hotels and resorts usually pay later, while cruises, tours, and booking engines tend to pay sooner. There’s no guessing — just real travel completed and real commissions earned.
Transparency matters, and we prioritize it.
Built-In Organization (Without Complexity)
Because commissions are tied to completed travel, staying organized is key. Our members log each reservation and confirmation number so there’s a clear record of what’s owed and by whom.
Simple habits — like saving confirmation emails and recording bookings — create clarity and confidence as volume grows. You don’t need fancy software to succeed; you just need systems that work.
We show you how to build those systems from the start.
Access to Trusted Travel Partners
Another major draw of our community is access.
Inside our Community Hub, members can explore travel partners across categories, including:
- Hotels & Resorts
- Cruises
- Tour Operators
- Global Booking Engines
- Disney & Universal
- Travel Insurance & Transportation
You choose which partners align with your interests and register directly with them. From there, you’re booking travel the same way professionals do — within each partner’s platform.
No gatekeeping. No unnecessary barriers. Just access and support.
Support Where It Counts
When booking questions arise, support comes straight from the source. Travel partners provide their own customer support, and in many cases, dedicated Business Development Representatives are available to assist our agency.
You’re never left guessing who to contact or where to turn.
