Travel Point Redemption Options

Every journey is unique, and so are the ways our Group Leaders choose to use their points.

We’ve designed a variety of options and always welcome suggestions for more.

Tour Enhancements

Whether it is a scholarship for a student that needed help, a single room to help you relax during the trip or funds towards optional excursions, you may choose to use points to get more out of your trip.

Examples include:

  • 200 points = $350 Student Scholarship
  • 25 points/night = Single Room Upgrade
  • 500 points = $875 in tour credits

Personal Travel

If you didn't love travel you wouldn't lead these tours! And while we all love the students, sometimes you just need to get away

Examples include:

  • 325 points = Roundtrip US airline ticket
  • 700 points = Roundtrip European airline ticket
  • 300 points = Two night hotel stay (double occupancy)

Please note the above are all starting from prices. Traveling over Thanksgiving to Key West is not the same as late January trip to New York City!

Cash

Hey, we get it—we’ve all been there. Sometimes you just need cash.

Minimum 300 points, 1 point = $.80 (300 points = $240)

*Cash redemptions of $600 or more will result in a 1099 being issued.
