Getting Started
What is Travel Plug?
Travel Plug is an AI-powered travel concierge. Build a custom insider guide for any destination on Earth, use live AI Search and an AI Concierge that checks what's open right now, and tap into nightlife, hidden gems, and real local intel. It runs in your browser on phone or computer.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Travel Plug is a web app — just open travelplug.app in any browser. For one-tap access, add it to your home screen.
I just joined the Black Card — how do I unlock the app?
Your private access key is created automatically the moment you join. Here's the 60-second version:
1. In Whop, open your Travel Plug membership and tap "Downloads & Keys."
2. Copy your access key.
3. In the Travel Plug app, tap AI Search or Ask AI Concierge.
4. Paste your key into the unlock box and hit Unlock. That's it — you're in.
There's also a 60-second video walkthrough inside the app on that unlock screen.
My access key isn't working — what do I do?
Two quick checks: make sure your subscription is active, and copy the key exactly from "Downloads & Keys" with no extra spaces. Your key stays valid as long as your membership is active. If you cancel, access continues until the end of your paid period, then the key stops working. Still stuck? Send us a message.
Guides ($7)
How do the $7 guides work?
Go to the Guides page, type any destination, and the AI builds a custom insider guide in seconds — where to eat, what to do, hidden gems, and local tips. Pay $7 securely by card, enter the code you receive, and your guide unlocks. One payment, no subscription.
My guide won't build, or it says "warming up" — what's wrong?
Almost always, it's your internet connection. Each guide is built live and takes about 30–45 seconds — a longer request than the quick AI features — so it needs a strong, steady signal the whole time. If your Wi-Fi or cell connection is weak or drops during those seconds (common on hotel Wi-Fi, cellular abroad, or on the move), the guide can't finish and you'll see a "warming up" message. The fix is simple: get on solid Wi-Fi or full signal, then build your guide again. Your access isn't affected — you can rebuild as many times as you need, at no extra charge.
$7 guide vs. Black Card membership — what's the difference?
A $7 guide is a one-time purchase for a single destination. Black Card ($19/mo) includes every guide free and unlimited, plus live AI Search and your personal AI Concierge. If you're taking more than one trip, membership pays for itself fast.
I paid for a guide but didn't get my code.
Your access code is delivered instantly with your purchase receipt — check your email, including the spam folder. Still don't see it? Message us with the email you used and we'll get you sorted.
How do I get the best guide?
Be specific. "Tokyo, Japan" gives a sharper guide than just "Japan" — the more exact your destination, the better. Once it's built, save or screenshot it so you have it offline on the go.
Black Card Membership
What's included with Black Card?
Unlimited custom guides (free), live AI Search, your personal AI Concierge that searches the web in real time, private country communities, a local contacts network, the creator network, and the 50% affiliate program.
How much does it cost?
$19/month, or $190/year — which works out to 2 months free.
How do I cancel?
Anytime, one tap in Whop — no questions asked. Your access continues until the end of your current paid period, and you won't be billed again.
Do you offer refunds?
All sales are final, but you can cancel anytime and you'll never be billed again.
Affiliate Program — Earn 50%
How does the 50% affiliate program work?
Black Card members get a personal referral link. Share it, and you earn 50% on qualifying paid referrals — recurring, every month a referred member stays subscribed. For example, 10 members works out to about $95/mo and 100 to about $950/mo — those illustrate the math, not a promise. Commissions are subject to program terms; no income is guaranteed.
Can I earn without being a Black Card member?
Yes. We have a free creator path: approved creators can get a Travel Plug creator link and earn 25% on qualifying paid referrals, based on program terms — no membership required. It's approval-based (we review for real audience and fit). Apply at travelplug.app/share. Want the higher 50% recurring rate plus deeper tools? That comes with Black Card. No income is guaranteed.
Where do I find my affiliate link?
Your affiliate link is auto-created in your Whop dashboard. The easiest way in is the
Affiliate Portal, where you grab your link and resources:
whop.com/travel-plug-black-card/affiliates. Black Card members also find their link inside their Travel Plug membership.
How and when do I get paid?
Commissions land in your Whop balance. There's a standard 30-day hold (anti-fraud), then you withdraw to your bank, PayPal, or crypto. Set up your payout method in Whop under Balances. You connect your bank when you make your first withdrawal.
Payments & Security
Is my payment secure?
Yes. All payments run through Stripe and Whop — industry-leading, encrypted payment processors. Travel Plug never sees or stores your card details.
What payment methods can I use?
Card payments via Stripe for the $7 guides. Whop handles membership and supports cards plus additional methods depending on your region.
Travel & Accuracy
Is the AI always accurate?
Travel Plug uses AI to generate guides and recommendations. It's a powerful starting point, but always independently verify hours, prices, safety, and visa/entry requirements before you travel — things change fast on the ground.
For Businesses
How do I advertise my business on Travel Plug?
Go to the Advertise page, enter your business and your market, and our AI prices your placement in real time. Lock your rate and pay securely. We then review and confirm your placement — typically within 1–2 business days. All placements are subject to approval.
