Become a Customer Service Representative
Work remotely and set your own schedule
As a Customer Service Representative, you’ll be taking calls from customers of America’s leading online travel agency. You’ll be the face of the brand, communicating with customers via telephone and assisting with hotel, rental car, and flight reservations.
These customers typically call to change travel plans, confirm or obtain their itinerary, request refunds, or report travel issues.
This remote, flexible opportunity pays independent contractors $10/hour.
Remote & Flexible
You’ll be talking with customers and making money while working remotely.
Plus you’ll enjoy flexible scheduling, where you use a self-scheduling platform to select when you work and when you don’t. You’ll have the freedom to schedule around your own needs, the needs of your family, and the important events in your life.
Hours of operation are 8:00 AM to 1:00 AM ET, seven days per week. You’ll have the flexibility to set your schedule within those hours of operation.
