The offer is extended to TDC's owned agencies, as well as franchisees and affiliates.

While no official date has yet been announced, it's expected that the service will be launched sometime this fall. TDC has said that it is still in negotiations with several suppliers. 

"Twenty years ago, almost every group had a 'travel now, pay later' card," said Danielle Durocher, national director, franchise and affiliate members. "It disappeared over time, but it's back. Customers and especially agency owners have been asking for it for years. We listened to them."
