Convention destinations are pending and may change based on availability, government regulations, or travel advisories.

Conventions may be selected with "pending points." To check your points balance, visit your MyTrip account.

Convention reservations are first-come, first-served, are pending availability, and may close prior to the deadline listed. Qualification is based on Reward Points earned from international tours. Conventions departing after October 1, 2026 require an active 2027 or future tour. Conventions departing after October 1, 2027 require an active 2028 or future tour. Once redeemed, Rewards Points may not be used for other promotional rewards.

Limit one convention per year per Program Leader, and limit two adult (18+) free places per convention unless selecting a Family-Friendly event.  Guest spots are only available using points.

New for 2027! The points requirement for 1 spot on a 2027 Teacher Convention now includes a single-occupancy room

On Conventions designated as Family-friendly convention destinations, you are welcome to bring up to 3 guests with you, ages 8+. The 3rd and/or 4th guests will be added at the guest rate (points needed for 2, minus points needed for 1 spot) per person and will share a triple/quad occupancy room with you.

*At some of our Teacher Conventions, our team will host an optional interactive session for professional development. By participating in the tour and optional session, you will earn a certificate for 10-15 points/hours or 1-1.5 CEUs.

Redeem Points for Cash, Gift Cards, Personal Travel, or Travel Scholarships

You may also redeem your Rewards Points for a cash bonus, gift cards, personal travel, or travel scholarships. To do this, please request here. The bonus structure is:

Cash: If selecting cash, it is considered taxable income and therefore your Social Security Number will be required. Please enter this under your profile on your MyTrip page. Cash redemptions will result in a 1099 being issued for the appropriate tax year. $2,000 max per calendar year.

Gift Cards: Choose from Amazon, Apple, Hotels.com, or Disney.

Travel Scholarships: Redeem from $125 up to $4000. Travel scholarships must be requested prior to the traveler's final payment deadline and will be applied directly to the designated traveler's account. 

Please note that point redemption for cash or travel scholarships will be pending until 20 days prior to departure.

Personal Travel: You may redeem your points for personal travel for one or more travelers. The point amounts are “starting from” and prices vary based on dates, locations, and how far in advance we are booking. Flights cannot be booked more than 9-10 months in advance or less than 3 months in advance of the requested departure date. Hotels and flight options will be shared with you before finalizing the reservation.
