What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bw Premier Collection's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the fee for the Reservation Transfer Service Program is due and payable monthly upon statement receipt. For participating hotels, this fee is a 3% commission per reservation booked, capped at three nights of a single reservation. Non-participating hotels incur a $5 fee for each call transferred.
This means that as a Bw Premier Collection franchisee, you'll need to budget for this monthly expense, which can vary depending on your hotel's participation status and the volume of transferred reservations. Participating hotels pay a percentage of reservation revenue, while non-participating hotels pay a flat fee per transferred call.
Franchisees should carefully consider whether to participate in the program, weighing the commission costs against the potential benefits of increased reservations. It's important to track the number of transferred calls and associated fees to manage expenses effectively. Understanding the terms and conditions of the Reservation Transfer Service Program is crucial for financial planning and operational efficiency.
