Up to $1,250
per referral.

Anyone over 18, with two carve-outs to keep things fair: traveling participants of the eventual referral group (a paying student, a co-teacher counselor) and family members of those participants can't earn referral payments. Beyond that — colleagues, friends, family, anyone you know who'd be a great group leader.

Any person over 18 who can plausibly organize a travel group (typically a teacher), with these exclusions: anyone who's previously traveled with Passports; anyone already actively organizing a Passports group; family members in the referrer's same household; current students of the referrer; co-teachers planning to travel on the referrer's own group; anyone who has previously referred others to Passports (no mutual referrals); anyone already referred by someone else; and any other case at Passports's reasonable discretion.

By check or, at your option, equivalent travel-redeemable Rewards Points. Payment is issued no later than the end of the calendar year in which the referred group's departure date falls. Payment goes to the referrer alone — not to a school, not to a department.

Excluded from the headcount that determines your tier: anyone receiving a family discount, faculty discount, scholarship, or similar reduction. The tier amount is set by full-paying travelers at the time of the group's departure.

The referred group must travel within 24 months of the original referral date. After that, the referral can be renewed (by you or anyone else). A referral reward is paid only on the first tour the referred group leader runs — not on subsequent ones.

Yes — any reasonable number, all at once or over time. Final eligibility is determined no earlier than each referred group's departure date and may reflect any of the exclusions above. Each referral must be registered in advance — no retroactive credit for prior, unregistered referrals.
