The guy behind this

Meet Coach Artie


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. Between her events, our Portugal investment, five kids and their tournaments, the grandbabies, and business trips for AI, conferences, and masterminds, we live at airports. And it is always somewhere you would want to be anyway. Travel prices are not a small line item in our house.

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 want to let people in on a good thing.

Drag sideways. There's more.

The 30-second pitch

How it works

Ever book a hotel for a tournament weekend and just pay whatever the site says? We did too, for years. Here's the other way.

There's a club

You pay a small fee to get in. That's it. That's 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're in, you earn travel currency to spend on trips.

Bring three friends, your fee disappears.

Get three people to join through you and you stop paying the monthly fee 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 part nobody explains

So where's
the catch?

Honest answer. There isn't one. There's just a shorter line between you and the hotel.

Every travel site you've used, Expedia, Booking, Priceline, is a store. Stores run ads to get you in the door, and that ad money is baked into the price on the screen. That's how retail works. Nothing shady about it.

This is not a new trick. Sam Walton cut out steps and built Walmart. Bezos cut out more and built Amazon. Every time somebody shortens the line between you and what you're buying, the price drops. Travel just took a while to catch up.

The club skips the store. No storefront buying ads, no middle markup, so the same room lands lower and the savings go to members instead of billboards. Same hotel. Same dates. Shorter line.

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 book your 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 comes out to another 3-5%. A third layer on top of the member price you already got.

Membership

Two ways in

You've already got subscriptions pulling money out every month. Streaming, music, the apps. This is the one that funds your next trip instead. Think of it as a forced vacation fund, money you'd spend on travel anyway, parked where it stretches further.
