Summer is a peak season for travel, and this year, it’s proving to be an ideal time for travel advisors to boost their earnings through incentive programs, too.

Here are the latest reward opportunities from suppliers, from gift cards and cash to a free river cruise for new bookings.

Editor's note: This story was last updated on July 6, 2026. 

Alexander+Roberts: $50-$100 Gift Cards

Between July 1 and Sept. 30, Alexander+Roberts is bringing back its Advisor Booking Bonus, giving agents the chance to earn gift cards. First and second bookings under the promotion each earn a $50 gift card; for the third booking and beyond, the amount jumps to $100, with no cap on the number of eligible bookings. The offer covers all Small Group Journeys and Private Journeys of five nights or more for travel from 2026-2028.

Included destinations range from Hawaii and the U.S. to Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe, Canada, Central America and Australia/New Zealand.
