Mystery Travel
What if your next vacation was a total surprise?
Our new partnership offers intrepid travelers a thrilling way to stop overplanning and embrace unexpected moments
Embrace the Joy of Discovery
We've partnered with Pack Up + Go to design a completely customized trip for your next getaway, with one major surprise: your destination isn't revealed until just before your departure.
Stop overplanning with endless research and allow yourself the joy of letting a truly memorable vacation reveal itself.
How It Works
Step 1: Fill Out the Survey
Choose whether you want to fly or drive, then tell the Pack Up + Go team your interests + travel history on your pre-trip survey.
Step 2: Pick Your Dates & Budget
Choose your travel dates, and how much you want to spend on your vacation.
Step 3: Get paired with Benchmark Resorts & Hotels
Enter the code BENCHMARK at checkout to stay at a Benchmark Resorts & Hotels property during your trip.
Step 4: Pack Up & Go!
The Pack Up + Go team handles the planning (real humans—never AI!). You get a surprise envelope in the mail before your trip. Discover your destination, and you’re off!
