If you’re serious about points and miles, you need the right community.
Knowing how to earn points is one thing. Knowing how to use them—fast, strategically and with people who actually get it—is another.
The private community that comes with a 10xTravel+ membership is where those two things come together. Built for members who want more than generic advice and crowded forums, it combines real-time award alerts, expert-led webinars and organized discussion channels into one focused points and miles community.
Whether you’re chasing business-class redemptions, navigating family travel logistics or just looking for your next big trip idea, this is the points and miles community that moves at the speed you do.
Here’s everything you need to know about what’s inside.
A Private Community Built Around One Goal
The 10xTravel+ private points and miles community is built around one goal—helping you get more out of every trip.
As an exclusive member of the 10xTravel+ community, you get access to:
- Real-time award alerts
- Live expert webinars
- Dedicated topic channels for relevant and easily searchable discussions
- A higher team-to-member ratio than other open forums, leading to faster response times and more personalized advice
- 10xTravel status rankings with access to exclusive discounts and rewards
It’s important to highlight that this private community isn’t just another add-on perk of 10xTravel+ membership—it’s a core feature of your membership, and gives you an edge in earning points and miles.
Let’s break each of these features down and see exactly what private community members get access to.
What’s Actually Inside the 10xTravel+ Community
The 10xTravel+ community is a hub of lightning-speed award alerts, insider travel advice and strategic online workshops.
In short, members of the 10xTravel+ community have a real edge when it comes to creating the trips of their dreams—exclusive advice, instant award alerts, and real talk from 10xTravel’s team members.
In your 10xTravel+ dashboard, you’ll have all available features arranged neatly in the left-hand sidebar.
This makes it easy to navigate between features and keep discussion forums relevant to the topic.
Let’s run through each of the features 10xTravel+ members get access to.
Discussion Channels: Organized by Topic, Built for Focus
10xTravel+ has dedicated discussion channels which are available to all members. These include the following discussion channels:
- Announcements
- Points & Miles Strategy
- Family Travel
- Business Owner
- Travel Talk & Recs
- Brags & Trip Reports
- Founders Club Lounge
- 10x Elite Lounge
Unlike our Facebook group—10xTravel Insiders—where all points and miles topics are discussed in a single forum, we wanted our members to have dedicated spaces to dive deep into separate discussions.
These dedicated channels make it easier for you to find and contribute to focused conversations without scrolling through unrelated posts.
Business owners can talk about high-spend points strategies in one forum, while parents can share their best tips for family points-based travel in a separate one.
And with fast response times from 10xTravel team members in each forum, you’ll never be left in the dark for long as a member of the community.
Real-Time Award Alerts: High-Value Space, the Moment It Drops
One of the headline perks of the 10xTravel+ private community is exclusive access to real-time award alerts.
As anybody who’s been in the points and miles space long enough knows: it’s one thing knowing what to book, and it’s another thing finding available award space.
We give our community members the latest real-time alerts on award availability. And to make things easier, we’ve divided award alerts into three categories:
- Unicorn alerts (sought-after “book now, think later” deals)
- Flight deals
- Weekly roundups
You can update your notification preferences to have award alerts land straight in your email inbox, so that you never miss out on a good deal.
Live Webinars and Q&A Sessions
In addition to dedicated discussion channels and real-time award alerts, 10xTravel+ members get exclusive access to live webinars with Q&A sessions in the private community.
These webinars are held on a monthly basis and include deep dives into credit card strategy, booking walkthroughs, region-specific award searches and more.
If you don’t catch the event live, you’ll be able to access it in the video library among all other past recordings. This way, you’ll never miss out on insider advice, and you can always revisit videos to reference information.
Meetups: Connecting With Other Members In Person
We’ve been a community-first business from day one, and our annual reader Meetups reflect this.
Within the 10xTravel+ dashboard, you’ll find a dedicated channel where you can see upcoming Meetups and sign up for them.
While Meetups themselves aren’t exclusive to 10xTravel+ members, having this feature integrated into your dashboard streamlines the sign-up process.
Higher Staff-to-Member Ratio Means Faster, Better Answers
The 10xTravel team actively moderates and participates in the 10xTravel+ private community. Not only that, but it does so at a far higher rate compared to other open forums.
Members get personalized responses from actual team members—not just other community members—and the speed and quality of support reflects this premium service.
In moments where booking or transferring points quickly is essential, these fast response times can make a world of difference.
Founders Club and Elite Lounge: Rewarding Early and Active Members
Points and miles enthusiasts like yourself are no stranger to loyalty programs and status rankings. And we’ve now got our own version of status within the 10xTravel+ community.
Founders Club Lounge
If you join the new 10xTravel+ within the first two weeks of its launching, you’ll gain exclusive access to the Founders Club Lounge.
This is a one-time joining window that will give founding members access to a dedicated discussion channel, which will close to new members once the founding enrollment period ends.
Founding members will also enjoy lifetime fixed pricing. This also extends to people who were 10xTravel+ members at the time of the 10xTravel+ revamp.
If you want to be part of something even more exclusive, this is your chance.
Join by May 18, 2026, to claim your spot as a founding member.
10xTravel Elite Lounge
The 10xTravel Elite Lounge is the tip of the spear of exclusivity, reserved for our most active community members.
Unlike the Founders Club Lounge which is a limited-time offering for any member that signs up within two weeks of launch, the 10xTravel Elite Lounge is designed for members who reach the top of our community status ladder.
To do so, you need to earn points on qualifying activities, as shown below.
We reward our members for commenting, posting and engaging with other community members.
To become a 10xTravel Elite member, you need to earn a total of 2,000 points. While that might seem like a lot, there are a number of other status tiers on the road to 10x Elite, with rewards to earn at certain levels.
For instance, Gold members—which requires only 40 points—receive a discount on our award booking service, while Titanium members get discounts on award booking services in addition to early access to new My10x features.
And unlike with airline loyalty programs, you don’t need to fly hundreds of thousands of miles to earn status with us—simply being an active member of the community is all that’s required.
What Your First Week in the Community Looks Like
Joining the 10xTravel+ community is an exciting step in your points and miles journey. What’s more is that it’s easy to get started as well as earn some points in the process.
You’ll first be prompted to create a profile where you can add your picture, name, headline and bio, among other details. This helps other community members know and trust who they’re talking to.
Once you’ve entered your details and clicked continue, you’ll be redirected to your dashboard and met with a welcome message.
You’ll want to begin by completing the Welcome Checklist.
This checklist includes six lessons with actionable content and helpful videos to get your account up and running. Once you’ve completed a lesson, click the “Complete lesson” button at the bottom of the page.
During the account setup process, you’ll be able to configure your email and in-app notifications so that you only receive the notifications you’re interested in.
Keep in mind that you need to complete the welcome checklist before you can access all features of the 10xTravel+ private community. If there’s a padlock next to all of your community features (as shown below), that means you still need to finish the welcome checklist—which includes introducing yourself to the community.
Once your checklist is complete, you’ll have full access to all account features, excluding the 10x Elite Lounge.
How the Community Fits Into the Broader 10xTravel+ Toolkit
From our earliest days, we’ve always put our community first. That’s what 10xTravel is built on, because redeeming points is only part of the fun—the other part is helping people travel for next to nothing, and sharing stories about it along the way.
The 10xTravel+ private community continues this tradition, and it’s where strategy becomes collaborative. As anybody who ever attended our reader Meetups knows, some of the best advice and insider strategies come from collaboration and discussion.
For this reason, the 10xTravel+ private community enriches the other core features of 10xTravel+, including the Credit & Benefit Tracker, Redemption Tracker, Best Cards by Category, and Award Alerts.
Join the Community That’s Built for How You Actually Travel
The 10xTravel+ private points and miles community isn’t just another generic travel forum where the loudest voice wins.
It’s an expertly staffed, organized, channel-based community with real-time alerts, monthly deep-dive webinars and structured discussions.
It’s built for a community of people who take points and miles seriously, and want to advance their understanding—and sense of belonging—with other travel enthusiasts.
