Just joined a few days ago. So far the training is good. Im learning alot. I do want to clarify the $97 monthly cost is for Errors & Omission insurance. Had to have that also in my Life Insurance business. That is legit & Jacob explained this in the meeting. People saying “its a scam” based solely on this probably have never had to get E&O insurance ever before & don’t understand its purpose. Yes its monthly, as most insurance premiums are. Will give this 6 months before deciding if its worth it for me, but so far, so good. Only 3 stars bc I literally just started.

Be prepared before joining as an advisor.
In 2024, I was searching for part-time jobs on ZipRecruiter. I found that HappytoGo was hiring for booking services, with no experience required. I responded and was directed to a Meet and Greet Zoom meeting with Edwin Sarkisian, Chief of Operations, minutes later to establish a meeting time. I attended the meeting and found that I was suddenly linked to BWJ Travel, also known as Book with Jacob, with no mention of HappytoGo. During the meeting, I inquired about the status of HappytoGo, but received no response from Edwin — my first red flag. There were about 200 people in the Zoom meeting. About half of the participants dropped out during the meeting. I knew that all host agencies charge an upfront fee for training, suppliers, a support team, and the use of their license. So, it was no surprise that BWJ offered a monthly or annual membership. I did not sign the IC agreement right away. I wanted to read it first, and so did my attorney. Since BWJ offered leads/clients to people who passed The Travel Academy, I started training at my own pace. I was certified and began accepting leads. During one prerecorded training session, Jacob, Edwin's brother, mentioned that BWJ pays for their leads, and they are expensive. That was a second red flag. I encountered many leads who did not appear to be legitimate, would-be clients.
Was BWJ paying leads to act as clients? After six months of my devoted attention and resources, I decided to leave BWJ with absolutely no bookings. Both Jacob and Edwin are very convincing and claim to have been in the travel industry for 30 years. They are both in their mid-thirties. BWJ has only had an LLC for three years and is not accredited with the BBB. The training is excellent, and their support team is also very good. It is a family-run business. However, you should expect to bring in your clients. BWJ claims to have a commission split of 80/20%, which is more than most hosting agencies. But the question remains, will you ever get a booking? Based on my determination and attentiveness to clients' wishes over the past six months, I am inclined to doubt whether you'll achieve anything. I have a lengthy and successful career in many areas: your decision, and your choice. BWJ Travel has multiple locations, and the HappytoGo site has been set up. You may want to correspond with BWJ at 1731 W. Glendoaks Blvd., Glendale, CA 91201, their last known address.

I have been working for a straight week…
I have been working for a straight week on finding my niche as a travel agent my travel brand by mission statement, my slogan creating my business Facebook page and business Instagram, but I cannot find a website where I can actually book a vacation with an agent. I am so terrified that I am a part of a scam right now. I just called their 24 seven customer service and they could not even give me a website for my sister to book a vacation through them. What should I do? I am heartbroken if all this is true that it is just a scam I was really looking forward to this job working out.

nervous and new
I just join I'm very nervous and skeptical 🫤.. it looks like a lot of people have had a lot of negative responses. I've already paid so I guess i might as well try it 🤷. I give it a month. But hopefully I'll have a good experience.. and btw I'm very much a real person. Just incase there are bots on here.

Hi Yatice! Welcome to the team, it was nice to see you on the Meet & Greet call today. Hoping that after this orientation call it is now very clear how transparent and genuine our company is.
Please don't hesitate to contact my support team for any help during your onboarding process. We truly love what we do day-in and day-out and those negative reviews you're seeing are typically from individuals who either are not agents with us and falsely classify us as an MLM scam (which we are not, we don't even have any affiliate program) or those who registered with us and never got on that first call with me to begin their journey with us.
Rest assured, we're ready to rock and roll together!
Best,
Edwin S.
