ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT
A TIERED ACCOUNT SYSTEM
Alliance operates a Tiered Account System beginning with a Master Account as in the world headquarters, and Affiliate Account as in Divisional Offices, and a Site Account as in the Regional Office.
Commissions are normally paid to the Affiliate Account and are sometimes shared with the Master Account.
The Site Account is used for making reservations, managing rules, filters, branding, skinning, themes, fees and all individual preferences.
Every account begins with all three account types.
Companies that have multiple departments, divisions, web sites, users, and require different services from Alliance will likely have a multitude of Affiliate accounts for commissions sharing/distribution and Site Accounts for a variety of websites, customers, users, rules, filters and or fees.
