offers for our valued clients

exclusive benefits

We’re pleased to offer the following special considerations on our planning fees to valued clients:

Referral Program

For each new client who books with us based on your recommendation, you’ll receive 25% off the planning fee for your next journey. There’s no limit to how many people you can refer. Important: New clients must mention list your name in the referral form when booking their complimentary discovery call and travel with MTE for you to receive this benefit.

LOYALTY REWARD

When you complete three full-service trips with My Tailored Escape, your fourth booking — and every booking after that — comes with 50% off the planning and research fee. It’s our way of saying thank you for trusting us with your journeys, again and again.

A few things to note:

  • This benefit applies to clients who have completed at least three booked and traveled full-service MTE trips.
  • You must be the traveling client to redeem — this reward is tied to you personally and cannot be transferred.
  • Enter your dedicated loyalty code at checkout to apply the offer.

Service Member & Community Appreciation

Enjoy 10% off your planning fee if you belong to one of these valued groups:

  • Military personnel (active or retired)
  • Federal Government employees (active)
  • Christian Chamber of Commerce Members (active)

Picture ID or database verification will be requested during your discovery video call. May not be combined with any other offer.


Our fee structure is designed to ensure we can provide the level of personalized attention and expertise that defines the My Tailored Escape experience. Rather than spreading our resources across hundreds of clients, we intentionally limit our client base to deliver truly exceptional service to each person we work with.

We believe that your escape deserves nothing less than our complete dedication, and our fee structure allows us to provide exactly that.
