Whos going to win this week?

Hey Bidders!

I met with a very experienced travel agent last week, and her reaction to this newsletter? "This is genius. But if works, I’ll be out of business."

Look at us—just a couple of geniuses who cracked the travel code to enjoy amazing vacations while giving back to charity.

This Week's Highlight: A charter yacht to live out your “below deck” dream and 2 round-trip business class tickets!

We're at an Important Crossroads

Good news: Our paid newsletter experienced 2x growth last week!
Bad news: We only have 2 paying subscribers.

Two months ago, I set a goal to transition to a sustainable paid model that would support private auctions, a travel hacking community, and traveling-tracking software.

So I'm making a hard choice: if we don't double to 4 subscribers this week, I'll need to shut down the newsletter.

(Don't worry, current paid subscribers—I'll continue sending you messages for another month regardless.)

Is This for You?

Ask yourself: Are you serious about having amazing vacations, donating to charity, AND saving money? If yes, the $10/month subscription is your answer. If we don't find you something interesting within a month, I promise a full refund.

What will the future of travel be? The choice is yours.

Premium Subscribers Get:

  • Discord access with location auction alerts (I counted 5 vacation deals at 50% off…)

  • The week's best deals

  • AD-free experience

Want in? Premium will be $10/month for the first 25 members.
