Passport Newsletter Announces New, Pre-Holiday Pricing



Chicago -- Passport Newsletter announces 30 percent savings for subscribers and gift-givers, just in time for the holidays.

Normally sold at $129 per year, the advertising-free insider travel publication is just $89 per year in this limited offer, a full $40 off the normal price.

Savings are even greater for two years, now just $159.

Passport is delivered monthly in print to subscribers' homes. In addition, subscribers have access to Passport Newsletter's website with thousands of past reviews, as well as a bonus online version of the current issue with expanded content at no added cost.

"It's the best price we've ever offered at the holidays," says marketing VP Peg Prideaux. That's partly in recognition of the economy, and partly to draw attention to the publication which is aiming for a higher public profile.

Calling All 40-Somethings
"Passport has been a favorite of high-end travel agents and upscale travelers for a long time," says Prideaux, "as they get a bit older, we'd like more 40-somethings to become familiar with us."

"Passport is also ideal for those on your holiday gift list to whom you'd like to give something especially thoughtful or out of the ordinary," she adds.

In addition to 30-percent savings and a 100-percent satisfaction guarantee, there is no added cost for shipping or sales tax. "Passport Newsletter is more welcome, longer-lasting, and far less expensive than a monthly box of candy or fruit," says Prideaux. "It never spoils, it's calorie-free, and there's no extra charge for handling."

Why 30 percent?
The company chose a 30-percent discount to emphasize their "30 Passport Distinctions," the first five of which are:
  • Professional-level travel reviews
  • Super-fresh content
  • Coverage of high-end hotels and restaurants not found in mainstream media
  • Absolutely no sharing of subscriber information, and
  • No advertising
