Dear readers, I hope you've been enjoying PNM Now.

Since launching the site in June, we've had an awesome launch party in Manhattan, worked with our first sponsor (thanks, Roame!), and grown to over 500 subscribers. We even launched a tool, Mapper, that can show you how long your flights are and where to credit them.

I'm happy with how things have gone, and am stoked for the road ahead.

That said, at some point, the site needs to make money. Sponsorships are great when they happen (email us if you're interested!), but they're hard to come by when you're an emerging independent publication. And while we could go the credit card affiliate route like much of the industry has, I'd rather stick to my gut and keep PNM's coverage truly independent.

But that only works if the site has a way to pay for itself. So today, I'm turning to you for help. PNM Now is launching two membership tiers — Supporter and Supporter Elite — that offer benefits to anyone who wants to support PNM Now monthly or annually.

Benefits include an exclusive newsletter for Supporters, invites to upcoming PNM Now events, and 1:1 time with me to plan your future trips, perfect your points-earning strategy, or just let me talk you out of redeeming points for a toaster.

Don't worry: The daily email isn't changing. It's free, and it stays free.

If you're interested in helping the site, here's what's on offer:

Pick your membership

Supporter
$9/month
or $90 a year · save about 17%
A 1:1 session with me, twice a year. Bring a redemption you're stuck on, a card strategy you're second-guessing, or a trip you're trying to build.
A Supporter-only email, once a month. A longer breakdown of my take on the top five stories of the month, sent only to Supporters.
Luxury hotel programs. Access to programs like Hyatt Privé and Marriott STARS when you book through me.
Event invites. Upcoming PNM Now events in NYC and beyond.
Supporter Elite
$25/month
or $250 a year · save about 17%
Everything in Supporter, plus more of my time and a bigger way to back independent travel media.
Up to four 1:1 sessions a year. Annual members get one per quarter for trip planning or points strategy. Monthly members get two.
A travel-inspired t-shirt, every year. For annual members, designed by my friends at Vortex of Mayhem, with a new design each year. The first shirts ship in early 2027.
More to come.
For monthly members, sessions are available when you're subscribed at the time of the session and for the two months before it.

If you're new here, sign up and choose a membership right away. You can change plans or cancel any time from your account page. If you ever want to switch between monthly and yearly, you can do that on the same screen.

If you're not ready to upgrade yet, that's totally fine. Keep reading, and if you know someone who'd get something out of PNM Now, forward them an issue. If you do join, thank you. It means a lot to me.

Thanks for reading. See you in the skies!
