What we do

One membership, three connected programs

Travel resources, a referral program that rewards participation, and academic scholarships funded by the activity of the community.

Members-first access

Members gain access to curated information from travel organizations, industry companies, equipment providers, and federal and state government agencies.

Points for every eligible referral

Member referral program

Members help the community grow while earning points toward travel scholarship opportunities. What makes a referral eligible is set by the program terms.

How it works
Eligibility, application and selection

Academic scholarship program

Reaching a points tier confers eligibility to apply. Awards remain subject to program eligibility, verification, application requirements and available funding.

Referral program

How members earn points

Every eligible referral credits points to your balance. Points accumulate toward the scholarship tiers.

1

Refer someone to membership

Share your referral link with people who would use the travel directory and the member programs.

2

The referral is verified

Referrals are checked against the program terms before any points are credited. Points can be adjusted or reversed if a referral is later cancelled or refunded.

3

Points are credited

Every credit is recorded in your points history with the referral it came from, so your balance can always be traced back to its source.

Points are a record of participation, not a currency. Every credit is traceable to the referral it came from, and a referral that is later cancelled or refunded is reversed rather than quietly removed.
