* What travel agents and clubs are available?
Easy Sabre (http://www.easysabre.com) offers Traveller's Access, run by
Comp-U-Card which for $49/yr rebates 5% on air, hotel, and car rentals for you
and family members that they've ticketed for you and family members when you
send in receipts. In my experience, their agents are not very good.
Travel-by-Modem
is run by a small company in Belmont,
Mass., primary access via Delphi, but Internet e-mail is fine, too. Costs
$39/yr, sliding rebate on tickets depending on price and how delivered.
Rebates mailed automatically quarterly. Lots of useful coupons and discounts.
That's the agency I usually use. Although they have a national clientele,
they're 1/2 mile from where I used to live, which may bias me somewhat.

There's lots of them.
