EF’s Global Rewards Program works like an airline frequent flyer program, where you can earn fabulous travel and gift rewards simply by bringing your students on an EF Educational tour. Your points will never expire as long as you remain an active EF Group Leader.†
Enroll students on a tour
It’s the easiest way to earn points. Just lead a group of at least 6 full paying travelers with EF Educational tours or 10 full paying travelers with Smithsonian Student Travel and earn one point per day of each full-paying traveler. Check out the chart below to see how much more you can earn when you sign up during
seasonal rewards and use our
calculator to estimate your potential Global Points.
3 more easy ways to earn points
Refer a teacher
Refer a colleague who has not led a tour with EF. For each referral who travels with at least five full-paying travelers, you can choose one of our amazing rewards! Get 300 Global Points, $1000 cash or a free spot on one of our exclusive Teacher Appreciation Weekends in Barcelona, Cozumel or Istanbul.*
Pre-book optional excursions
Taking your students to Versailles? That means even more Global Points! Earn one Global Point for each traveler who prepays for any EF optional excursion.
Refer a friend to host an International Exchange Student
Educational Travel is just one way you can expose your students and community to cultural exchange. Referring someone to host an international exchange student is another – it’s a fun and rewarding experience for families who want to learn about a new culture and share their own. To encourage more families to host, EF Foundation for Foreign Study will give any traveler who hosts an exchange student $500 off a tour. In addition, Group Leaders who refer a family that ends up hosting will be awarded with 200 Global Points. Or, if you refer a new high school that enrolls EF’s foreign exchange students, you will also be awarded 200 Global Points. For more information, visit effoundation.org or call 1-800-447-4273.**
