In this article, I’ll share with you the exciting features of the new Platinum Membership, as well as a special Summer 2023 promotion that you won’t want to miss.
The New Prince of Travel Platinum Membership
Prince of Travel Platinum Membership is available at $25 (USD)/month for monthly subscriptions, or $240 (USD)/year for annual subscriptions (a 20% discount on the monthly price).
As part of the 2023 refresh of our membership offering, we’re streamlining the benefits of Platinum Membership, phasing out some benefits that we weren’t able to consistently deliver in the past, and adding an exciting new benefit that will offer members significant value when travelling the world.
The full list of Platinum Membership benefits is as follows:
Club Lounge: Discord chat group with other members and the Prince of Travel team.
Hotel Crowns: Stay 10 nights at hotels booked with Prince of Travel, and earn a free night equal to the average value of your 10 nights stayed.
Happy Hour: Discussion and Q&A session once every month to catch up on all the news, deals, and promotions in the travel space.
Learning Sessions: Learning sessions held twice per month on topics chosen in the Club Lounge.
Miles & Pints: Regular in-person gatherings across cities nationwide, drinks included!
Consulting Discount: 10% off all Points Consulting bookings.
Preferred Pricing: Get discounts to Prince of Travel products, services, and events.
Priority Access: Get early access to Prince of Travel products, services, and events.
Content Vault: A master spreadsheet of every Prince of Travel article and video for easy reference.
Bag Tags: Receive Prince of Travel luggage tags to show off your Platinum Membership when you fly.
Ad-Free Browsing: Browse the website uninterrupted by advertisements.
While most of the benefits are remaining the same as before, I’ll share some details below on how the Learning Sessions, Miles & Pints, and Consulting Discount are evolving going forward, as well as the details of the all-new benefit that I’m most excited about: Hotel Crowns.
Hotel Crowns
Feeling downbeat about Hotels.com Rewards phasing out their “Stay 10, Get 1 Free” program ? Not to worry: Prince of Travel Platinum Membership will carry on the torch with our Hotel Crowns benefit.
For every hotel night booked with Prince of Travel at preferred partner rates , you’ll earn a Crown. Earn 10 Crowns, and you’ll be able to redeem them for one free night equal to the average value of the 10 nights you’ve stayed.
Effectively, by being a Platinum Member and booking your hotel stays with us, you’ll be able to unlock a 10% return on your hotel expenses by racking up the Hotel Crowns!
Be sure to look over the full terms and conditions of the Hotel Crowns Program , and then head to our booking page to submit a hotel booking request for your next trip!
Learning Sessions
Prince of Travel Platinum Members have derived a lot of value from our regular Learning Sessions since they were first introduced last summer, spanning all sorts of topics from advanced round-the-world bookings to car rental discount codes.
Going forward, Learning Sessions will continue at a pace of twice per month, and will be hosted by a mix of Prince of Travel team members and external guests whom we’ll invite on from time to time.
Learning Sessions can be watched live at their scheduled time, in which case you have the opportunity to engage live with the topic. Alternatively, Platinum Members are sent replay links to all the Learning Sessions, allowing them to watch at their own leisure after the session.
Miles & Pints
We’ve been thrilled to have hosted quite a few successful Miles & Pints get-togethers since we first introduced them last year, including events in Vancouver , Calgary , Winnipeg , Toronto , and Edmonton .
There’s plenty more cities we’d like to hit up, though admittedly we’ve found it challenging to keep up with our original plan of hosting these on a monthly basis. Therefore, we’ll be dialling these back to a roughly quarterly schedule, while aiming to put on as many gatherings throughout the year and across as many Canadian cities as possible.
At every Miles & Pints event, Platinum Members will receive complimentary finger food and one drink ticket to be exchanged for a drink of their choice. We’re looking forward to announcing a few upcoming Miles & Pints events very shortly!
Consulting Discount
Lastly, we’ve made a change to the Consulting Discount benefit: while Platinum Members previously received 25% off a Points Consulting session once every six months, we’ve changed this to 10% off a Points Consulting session anytime, with no limits on how often you can use the benefit.
