Here's an extraordinary offer that will help you stay connected when you travel
Help us reach our 5 percent goal by the end of the year and win a one-year supply of eSIMs
Staying connected is important — especially when you travel.
It helps to know someone when you're at your destination. Connections also matter when you're trying to solve a travel problem. And, of course, you want to always have a reliable internet connection.
I can help with that.
We're starting our year-end subscription drive today. This one is special. Currently, just under 3 percent of our subscribers are paid. We need to get that to 5 percent to fund our exciting new features in 2025.
You can get 30 percent off a one-year subscription plus an unbeatable deal that will help you get connected when you travel.
It's all about who you know
I'll have all the details about that special connection offer in a moment. But before I get to that, I wanted to talk about the importance of having connections.
When you go somewhere, you want to make sure you're connected with someone who knows travel.
That's what this newsletter does. It connects you with insider information that will help you have a better trip. We also have a stable of travel experts who participate in our community forums. They are always here to help you get the lay of the land, wherever you are.
It's like having your own personal travel concierge.
A subscription to Elliott Confidential gives you more than that. You'll also get priority access to me and my team of advocates. So when something goes wrong, you'll always have someone who can help you solve your problem in real-time.
We are here to help anyone who asks, and we always do our best. But when we see that you're a paying subscriber, it adds some urgency to your request. We know that you're supporting our work, and we don't want you to wait.
You can join our list of esteemed subscribers and get 30 percent off an annual subscription.
Special offer: Stay connected with Celitech
People often ask me how I stay connected while I'm abroad. For the last year, I've been testing Celitech's eSIMs, a dead simple way to get an unthrottled cellular connection from anywhere in the world.
And I can honestly say it's changed everything.
Now, instead of calling my carrier and signing up for an expensive international calling plan, I just upload a QR code and — boom! — I have a clear and secure connection.
And did I mention it's secure? I believe I did. Other eSIM companies are located in countries with questionable security practices. But Celitech is based in Santa Clarita, Calif., and hosted in the USA. I visited them the last time I was back home in the States, and they're the real deal.
This month, I'm offering all Elliott Confidential subscribers a discount code for a Celitech eSIM. Use the code ELLIOTT50 to get 50 percent off your next eSIM purchase.
You can redeem the eSIM offer here. (Don't forget to add the discount code ELLIOTT50 before you check out.)
I'm also giving away a one-year supply of eSIMs (10GB per month) during December to select subscribers. You can use the eSIMs internationally or when you're at home.
If you've been reading this newsletter for a while, you know I've never endorsed a telecom company and that I'm a SIM skeptic. Not anymore. I'm very pleased to offer Celitech's eSIMS to my readers.
My friends at Celitech also support the advocacy work and consumer journalism we do here, when you use the ELLIOTT50 discount code for your next eSIM purchase, you're also giving us your vote of confidence.
I really appreciate that!
Please help me do the impossible
This end-of-year subscription drive is one of the most audacious I've ever attempted.
We need to add several hundred paid subscribers to meet our goal by January 1, and it's never been done. But I have to try because without the new subscribers, we won't have the resources to add these exciting new features:
In early 2025, we plan to launch a new current events feature. It will have a strong editorial voice in support of you, the consumer. We’ve tested this feature and it’s already a reader favorite.
We’re working on a new book with all our travel secrets collected over the last 30 years. Everyone loves a tell-all!
We’re also going to finally start our new “Fact Check” feature, which has been delayed because of a lack of resources.
You can get full access to all of these by becoming a subscriber now.
If you're reading this, it means you're signed up for the free version of this newsletter. I'm really glad you're here and I hope you'll stick around.
But I hope you'll help me do the impossible. Help me to expand the consumer journalism we do every day.
