The traveliest rewards program, hands down
When you love to travel, you never want the trip to stop. So we created EF’s Global Rewards program to give Group Leaders the world. As soon as you start leading student tours with us, you’re automatically enrolled, meaning you’ll start earning Global Rewards Points immediately. And you can take full advantage of your points practically right away.
You can redeem your points for VIP Rewards Tours or other EF-exclusive vacations that go almost everywhere—and you can bring a guest. Your school can benefit, too. Use your points to award travel scholarships for your students, and when multiple teachers from your school lead EF tours in the same year, you all earn bonus rewards.
There are tons of (super easy!) ways to earn points
Lead your first student tour!
First-time Group Leaders can earn 1 point for every traveling student, times the number of days on your tour. (So if you lead 20 students on a 10-day tour, that’s already 200 points.)
Lead your second student tour.
And third, and fourth, and fifty-fifth…
Your point-earning rate multiplies as you lead more tours. For starters, when you lead two tours, you’ll get two-times the points—but you can see the full travel-amplifying math here.
Refer a friend
If your referral leads their own student tour, you get 500 points right when they get home.
Share the wealth
With EF School Points, when other teachers from your school also lead tours, you all earn bonus points from one another. Yep, you’ll earn points for every paying student on any EF tour your school leads.
Make it a double
Lead tours two years in a row and you’ll earn extra points.
Redeem for travel, travel, and more travel
Earning points is easy. But choosing how to redeem them? That gets hard—especially when you can use your points to go on our bucket-list-level, VIP Rewards Tours designed specifically for Group Leaders and their guests. Even better? Your points go three times farther when you redeem them for one of these just-for-you, just-for-fun vacations.

Redeem for scholarships
Just like you, we want to help as many students as possible see the world. That’s why we’ll match your points when you redeem them for a student scholarship, meaning your points will be worth twice as much!
Want even more ways to redeem? We’ve got you.
You can redeem your points for everything from personal travel through our exclusive Flight & Hotel Finder to hotel room upgrades on your student tour to travel with our sister company, EF Go Ahead Tours. However, by far, the best bang for your bucket list comes from our VIP Rewards Tours.
The power of your points:
“What a wonderful experience! Life-changing. Meeting travel lovers from around the country inspired me to continue offering these experiences at my school.”

As you lead more EF tours, your Global Rewards status will climb quickly. With each new level you reach, your points multiply and you unlock access to even more perks.
If you want to see the world—and then get rewarded for it by seeing even more of the world—you should join our Global Rewards program.
