ABOUT US

Passport Unlimited creates mutually rewarding experiences by connecting the very best customers to the very best businesses.

Our goal is to bring together both individuals and business partners who have a shared interest in a vibrant, upscale lifestyle by providing unlimited access to an exclusive roster of restaurants, hotels, entertainment venues - all at preferred member rates.

Passport Unlimited was founded in 1986 by Roger Blier and Richard Mueller. Budding entrepreneurs and frequenters of restaurants for business lunches, the two were looking for a way for business professionals to recoup the shrinking percentage of business dining and entertainment expenses allowable for tax write-offs.

Their solution was Passport Unlimited, the first dining program targeted at business professionals, offering significant discounts and repeat visits at participating upscale restaurants. This combination was a winning one, creating a continually growing member base. Passport Unlimited now includes both business and individual members. In addition, the program has expanded its discounts to include retailers, services and attractions.

Recognized nationally for the quality of its participating vendors and the demographics of its members, Passport Unlimited currently offers memberships in 28 markets and savings at over 650 selected West Coast and Midwest restaurants. More than 800,000 members now enjoy savings within Passport Unlimited's dining and/or retailer networks.

	CORPORATIONS: Our highly desirable program helps retain employees, with virtually no work on the part of your HR department.
	CLIENT GIFT CARDS: With your company logo on each card, your clients associate their savings and positive experiences with you, bringing you referral business throughout the year.
	REALTORS & BROKERS: Join hundreds of real estate professionals who are building their business with the gift of Passport memberships.

	RESTAURATEURS: Reach your target market, build your bottom line, and create community awareness all at a guaranteed ROI.
	RETAILERS & BUSINESSES: We'll feature your product or service to our elite member base.
	FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS: Member rewards that create immediate impact by building member affinity, increasing interchange income and differentiating you from your competition.

Our company was founded by three enterprising individuals who have been friends since childhood, and successful business partners almost as long.
