By becoming a Gold or Platinum “Passport” member you will be part of an exclusive community of travelers that love to see the world and don’t mind earning money on the journey. We pay you to leave reviews, visit the site, and provide you cash back on any part of trip booked with one of our partners (as long as you start from our page).
While it is our hope that you will receive value from our enhanced membership, if for any reason in the first 30 days you don’t find becoming a Gold or Platinum member was the right fit for you – just ask. We will be happy to refund your full membership fee as long as you have not completed a withdrawal of funds
We give you three ways to earn cash back.
At this time, we only can send cash to Paypal accounts so please ensure you have a valid Paypal account before signing up.
Yes! If you choose Gold Membership you actually give you a welcome bonus of $15. You would have paid $14.90 so you actually start off with a profit. Similarly, if you were a platinum level, you would get a welcome bonus of $30. You would have paid $29.90 so again you start off with a profit. It may be a small amount but what other membership program can you join and make a profit immediately?!
Yes! 100%.
Check out out the About Us page to learn more about how we got started. But as a black traveler I saw a need for Modern Day Green Book with some twists so I built it for the black travel community.
We have over 100K+ followers on Instagram where we showcase black people from all over the world traveling everywhere! We also have over 5,500 travel reviews from Black Travelers sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly of travel.
With either Gold or Platinum you can earn cash back. You cannot earn cash with our FREE membership.
However, for platinum members we give you a higher welcome bonus in addition to earning cash back. Furthermore, we give you access to our one of a kind Destination Search Tool and a City Guide.
Platinum Perks
With all these goodies, this is way more than the value of platinum membership so we will only be offering all these perks for a limited time so sign up now!
Check out the “How It Works” page for a quick tutorial but it is pretty simple. Go to your profile page, look for the withdrawal link and just select “Withdrawal”. You just need to put in an email that is linked to your PayPal Account and voila!! Also, you have to reach our payout threshold which is $35 (35,000 point)
The Payout threshold is the amount of cash you have to earn before withdrawing to your PayPal account. It is set to $35 which is 35,000 points.
That is why we think the Platinum membership is the best value. You are only $5 away from your payout. So you could leave 5-7 reviews or book one trip and then have your first of many withdrawals
Yes! Every approved review will earn you some cold hard cash.
However, if you write a review that is trash (you know what a trash review is, stop playing) we will not approve it and you will NOT earn anything from writing it.
Look at the reviews on the site. You can see the quality we are expecting. Also, the “How It Works” page gives your some insights as well.
Who doesn’t like incentives?!
We really want a robust platform that can help black travelers plan their trip and encourage them to see the world. When we hear stories and experiences from other black travelers it really makes a difference so by paying for authentic, quality reviews we are helping black people all over the world get the information they need to feel empowered to travel.
We will try to complete withdrawal requests as soon as possible but it should be in your account within 7 business days. However, keep in mind only approved points/cash can be withdrawn to your paypal account. You also must have enough points (35,000) to meet our payout threshold for your withdrawal to be approved.
Once you finish book a trip, after starting on our site, just forward the email to payments@greenbookglobal.com and we will show the pending credit amount in your account.
Only after your trip is completed will your credit be approved.
Also, we are still working with our partners to make the points earned show up automatically but that is still a work in progress. In the interim, be sure to forward us your completed booking.
NO. Only bookings made from our website that are NOT DONE with points will earn you cash (don’t forget to forward the confirmation to payments@greenbookglobal.com) We don’t earn any cash if you book with points so we actually don’t have anything to share with you.
It will take 7-14 days after your complete your trip for cash to show up in your account as approved.
Typical redemption rates ranges from 1%-5% of total trip price. However, it is hard to say until we see the commission they issue back to us. We are still in beta phase.
Let us say it like this, we will give you up 50% of what we earn. We are definitely trying to share the wealth.
It is a custom built travel tool to help travelers, in particular black travelers, find destinations that meet their travel criteria. For example, if you want to know the best or worst ranked places for Traveling While Black in Europe, our tool can you tell you that based o the feedback from thousands of black travelers. If you are looking for destinations that have a lot of adventure but it is also a romantic and affordable destination, this tool can tell you that as well.
The options are limitless. There is nothing like it on the market especially from a black travel perspective. Enjoy!
As the founder of Green Book Global, I have been to over 60 countries and all 7 continents (including Antarctica) and some destinations are truly at the top of my list. Bali is one of them.
So I put together a super comprehensive 20+ page guide to Bali that even 15 different travel categories. The list includes:
We give this to you FREE as a Platinum Member.
Booking any part of trip via our site will help you earn the largest amount of cash back so I would definitely make this a focus.
You can book a trip in 2 ways.
1) You can search for the destination from our home page. Once you enter the destination it will bring you to our destination listing page (i.e. Paris, Accra). On this page you can see all the reviews other black travelers have left. Once you are ready to book, just click the “Book It” button or one of the “Book It” banners. Click which partner you would look to make a booking with and then you will be navigated to our partners sites. Just forward your booking confirmation email to payments@greenbooglobal.com so you can get the credit.
2) If you already know where you want to go and have done enough research, just select the “Book Trip” link on the menu bar and it will provide a list of our partners. Click which partner you would like to make a booking with and then you will be navigated to our partners sites. Just forward your booking confirmation email to payments@greenbooglobal.com so you can get the credit.
We are continuing to grow relationships with different travel partners. If there is a company you use that you don’t see, please just drop us a line and let us know and we can try to work on that relationship. In the interim, you can explore some of our other booking options so you can start to earn some cash. Also, don’t forget, you can also still earn cash for leaving reviews and just for visiting the site.
To keep it simple if you visit the site it is 200 points ($.20) and if you leave a review it is 750 points ($.75). If you book a trip with us and lets say it was $1000 you could get anywhere from 10,000 points to 75,000 points ($10-$75) back.
As you can see booking a trip starting from our site is the best way to earn cash back
To be a passport member there is an ANNUAL subscription fee of either $14.90/year or $29.90/year. This annual fee will be automatically renewed on date or purchase unless cancelled. This is an introduction price and will be the lowest our membership will ever be and will not last long. We strongly encourage you to become an early adopter! We have a 30 day money back guaranteed and will refund you as long as we have not completed a withdrawal
Yes! I know it sounds too good to be true but we will actually pay you to visit our site. Now, you won’t earn as much cash as if you left a destination review or booked a trip on our platform, but every bit counts.
Great!!! This part is easy. You can either click this membership link (Become a Passport Member) or one of the buttons above. Once you join, we will provide instructions of how to take full advantage of your membership. Welcome to a community that is FOR US BY US, Welcome to the first black travel review and online booking site that also lets you earn cash!
