good day,

something else to consider - http://www.inteletravel.com/inteletraveler/news.htm

at the very bottom of the above page, it says that the independent agents for inteletravel thought that they got their money's worth of the $495 fee.
so, i doubt you can get any valid travel agent credentials for 69.99.

i used to have an iata card. in order to get same, you are required to generate so many dollars in sales in a given time frame. so please, don't think you will instantaneously be given a valid travel agent credential.

lastly, i have found that travel agent rates are not what they used to be, and i generally do not miss them. with the internet i can find virtually any deal that is very close to the travel agent rate. also, travel agent rates can be limited, i.e., the resort may give you that great rate for only 2 days, or only during specific times of the year or both. when you are taking a fam [i.e., familiarization] trip on a cruise ship, you obviously have to go on the specific date/weekend offered by the cruise line. that is good, if your calendar is free. and, when i had my iata card, i never heard of a travel agent rate on an airline. the only thing i miss is the great car deals i could snag in hawaii - less than $16 per day for a convertible on any island at any time. never found anything that great elsewhere.

good luck
