Introducing the New Prince of Travel Membership

We've got some exciting news to share: today, the next-generation Prince of Travel Membership is live – right on princeoftravel.com. 

For years, the membership lived on a separate community platform, one step removed from the rest of the site. It worked, but it never quite felt like part of Prince of Travel. With 300+ active members and more than 60 live events on the calendar, that distance became harder to ignore.

That changes today. Sign in once on princeoftravel.com, and every part of being a Prince of Travel member is in one place.

Below is what's new for our Members – and a special offer during our Launch Week that makes it a great time to join up if you haven't yet. 

Live Calls and Experiences

The Live Events calendar is the part of the Membership we spend the most time on. We run regular live events – expert panels, hands-on workshops, and structured learning sessions – hosted by the team.

You will find weekly live sessions, monthly Office Hours, and one-off deep dives whenever something in the points world is worth covering. 

Every event is recorded the moment it happens and added to your replay library for the full duration of your membership, so the longer your Membership period, the larger your library grows. (Note that Members can only access replays for events that took place during their Membership period.)

The sessions are live and interactive. You can ask your own question, while planning your own itinerary, and get an answer from someone who has actually booked the route you are looking at. Members tell us this is where the pursuit of Miles & Points clicks for them, watching real bookings walked through in real time by people who do it every week.

In terms of new platform features, every call session has live chat in the room, with full call replays, summaries, and transcripts for viewing after the fact.

This week, Steve on our team is hosting a live call on "Buying Miles & Points: When Does It Make Sense?" and Chris will be hosting our monthly Office Hours – a free-for-all travel discussion – on Sunday. We're continually adding to the Live Events calendar, with a view of hosting more events of different formats on a weekly basis. 

The Members Community

The Community is where the day-to-day value of Membership lives. It's a dedicated, members-only feed where Canadian travellers share what's actually working right now: travel wins worth celebrating; hard-won data points from credit card applications, retention calls, and upgrade requests; deal alerts the moment they land; and direct messages with the Prince of Travel team.

New posts come through every day, year-round. You can see at a glance whether the data point in front of you is from a member in your city or someone on the other side of the country.

What makes the Community useful is who is in it. Alongside our team, our Members answering questions have flown the routes, held the cards, and made the redemptions you're reading about, and they're generous with what they know. 

The room gets sharper with every Member who joins, and we're still in the early innings of shaping the community to its full potential.

Ask Prince of Travel, Personalized

Most readers already know Ask Prince of Travel as our free chat interface that handles Miles & Points and travel questions on demand. The Members’ version is the same chat, scoped to your full profile – the credit cards in your wallet, the trips you have planned, the loyalty balances you have built up over years.

Ask anything. Answers sharpen as your profile fills in. The more we know about how you actually travel, the better the recommendations get. Card portfolio gaps, transfer paths to your next redemption, eligibility windows, fee renewals worth keeping – all of it answered with your own context.

In terms of access tiers, it's simple. Members get unlimited, personalized chat. Free account holders also get unlimited chat, with their conversation history saved across sessions. Visitors who aren't signed in get three questions per day on the free version, with no history kept between visits.

Your Portfolio and Trips

Members have a Portfolio page for your travel setup: the credit cards in your wallet and your loyalty points balances across programs – across all household members.

The My Trips feature sits next door. It's where you plan upcoming flights and hotels alongside the ones already booked. Anything booked through Prince Collection auto-surfaces here, and a single click attaches the booking to the relevant trip so the whole itinerary lives in one place. 

(The Trips view is available to anyone with a free account, not just Members – if you have ever booked a hotel through Prince Collection, you can manage those stays without joining Membership.)

Portfolio and Trips both feed Ask Prince of Travel. The more you fill in, the more your chat is grounded in your real-life situation: the cards you hold, the trip's you're planning, the balances you actually have. As the underlying AI capabilities advance quickly across the board, so the chat itself keeps getting sharper through the year.

1-on-1 Coaching with the Team

Members can now book a 60-minute video coaching call directly with our team. Bring a question, a half-built itinerary, or a card portfolio you want a second set of eyes on. The team works through it with you live, and you walk away with concrete next steps you can act on within the same week.

Previously, Points Coaching was a separate product available to anyone – it's now exclusive to members, at $199 (CAD) per call. The format hasn't changed: a focused hour with a coach who lives and breathes Miles & Points, walking through all of your questions or itineraries to help you along your journey. 

Prince Collection Hotel Deals

Prince Collection, our in-house luxury travel agency, is available to the public. The standard partner perks – complimentary daily breakfast, a $100 (USD) hotel credit, room upgrades subject to availability, early check-in and late checkout subject to availability – come with every booking at no extra cost, at the same rate as the hotel's own best flexible rate.

What Members now get on top is a curated deals list, updated weekly. These are Prince Collection-exclusive offers where the standard partner perks stack on top of real cash savings: Third Night Free, Fourth Night Free, Fifth Night Free, 15–20% on the room rate, extended-stay discounts on longer trips, etc. 

Member-Exclusive Content, Ad-Free Browsing, and More

On the content side, the new addition for Members is short, in-the-moment notes from the team's own travels: a quick read on a hotel room from the road, a fresh take on an airline cabin or airport lounge, a deal sighting spotted in real time, an itinerary that just worked or didn't.

It's the working journal of a team that travels for a living, posted inside the Community as it happens.

Our longer-form work – in-depth hotel and flight reviews, credit card deep-dives, and redemption playbooks – continues to run on the public website for anyone who wants the full picture before they book.

The Prince of Travel reading experience itself is cleaner as a Member, too. No display ads on any guide, review, or news piece, for as long as your subscription is active.

Lastly, new features land within Membership on a regular cadence, often members-only for a window before they reach anyone else. What's here today is the launch state, not the finished state – we iterate quickly on building the best possible experience for our Members based on their feedback.

Launch Week Pricing – 25% Off Annual Memberships

To mark the move home, this week only, we are taking 25% off the annual Membership.

• Annual, launch week: $250 for the year, then the regular price of $335 in future years. 
  • $335 is normally 20% off compared to the monthly plan (12 × $35), so $250 represents a further 25% off.
• Monthly: $35 per month at the regular rate, no commitment, cancel any time. Good way to try it before committing to the year.

If you've been on the fence for a while, this is a good week to join up and give Membership a try. Most Members tell us their first award redemption pays for the year a few times over.

One note before you go. Our blog and video content, the Ask Prince of Travel chat, and the tools we build get better every month. But the through-line of Membership has always been a team of passionate travellers who do this for a living, sharing their passions with a fellow crew of like-minded human beings exploring the world alongside them.

A lot of travel research and optimization out there has moved towards faster, more automated, and more impersonal recently – and our Membership experience is built to push the other way with an irreducibly human touch.

Coming home to princeoftravel.com makes that easier to find. Welcome in.
