The guy behind this

Meet Coach Artie

Coach of the year Real estate investor Dad of five Lives at airports

I'm a real estate investor and a basketball coach. Real estate has me overseas more than home right now, and basketball may follow me there. We'll see.

The day job is construction and real estate. I did fix-and-flips for years. Loved the work. Hated being stuck on one job site for six months. So I started a bath remodeling company. Shorter projects, a good team running them, and a schedule that finally lets us leave town. We've also got a build going on the Portuguese coast.

My wife April runs an AI company and speaks all over the world. Add the Portugal build, five kids, four boys and a girl, plus the grandbabies, and we live at airports. Travel prices are not a small line item in our house. They are the line item.

Friends we've known 10+ years showed us the club. People we've traveled with. They vouched for it. We checked the math on a trip we were already taking. Same hotel. Same dates. Different price. Real money back in our pocket. I ran the numbers and I could not un-see them.

That's the whole story. I'm not a guru. I'm a coach who wanted to let his people in on a good thing.

Drag sideways. There's more.

The 30-second pitch

How it works

There's a club

You pay a small fee to get in. That is it. That is the catch everyone keeps looking for.

Inside the club, travel is wholesale

Hotels, flights, resorts, cruises. Members report saving 50-70% versus retail booking sites. And every month you are in, you earn travel currency to spend on trips.

Bring three friends, your fee disappears.

Three people join through you and your monthly fee is waived for as long as they stay active. They call it Three and Free.

Think Costco. You pay to walk in the door. Inside, everything costs less. This is that, for travel.

The Triple Dip

Three layers.
One trip.

Most people save one way on a trip. Members stack three. Same suitcase, three layers of math.

Wholesale pricing

Members book through the club's own platform, Travel Advantage. Same rooms you would book anywhere else, at member pricing. Members report saving 50-70% versus retail booking sites.

Travel currency

Every point equals a dollar. Not a metaphor. A dollar. Elite members earn $120 a month. Turbo members earn $240. On Turbo, you pay $120 a month and earn $240 a month back in travel currency. The membership funds itself in travel value IF you actually book trips on the platform.

That last part matters. The currency spends on trips. Book trips, win. Don't book trips, don't join.

The credit card stack

Bookings go on your own credit card and code as travel. Travel cards like Venture X pay 5x on that, which works out to 3-5% in real value. A third layer, stacked on top of member pricing you already got.
