Love Travelling? Here’s How You Could Win Up To $10K In Flights

There are plenty of competitions floating around the internet promising dream holidays. This one feels a little different.

The crew at YouTrip have launched a nationwide search for 10 “Travel Interns”, and the brief is exactly as good as it sounds. Successful applicants will score up to $10,000 worth of flights to fuel their next adventure. Think spontaneous city breaks, long-haul escapes, or finally ticking off that destination that’s been sitting on the wishlist for eons. 

So, What Exactly Is A Travel Intern?

In short, it’s the kind of ‘job'  most people would happily do for free because you don’t technically have to do any work. 

YouTrip is selecting 10 Aussies to become their official Travel Interns, each receiving up to $10,000 in flights to help fund a whole year of travel. Whether that turns into a European summer or a spontaneous hop across the Tasman is entirely up to the winner. Applicants simply need to show why they deserve the gig and have until 20 April to submit.

Entering Is Pretty Straightforward

Getting involved only takes a minute.

First, download the YouTrip app and sign up. The process is quick, with identity verification completed in just a few minutes. Once that’s sorted, users are automatically entered into a prize draw, where 5 winners will be selected as Travel Interns.

Looking to boost your chances? Users can also join the Instagram challenge by commenting their travel talent on the giveaway post, tagging @youtripau and sharing the feed post to their stories for an additional entry. Five additional interns will be selected from here, so make sure to join and boost those chances.

Plus as an extra bonus, use code YTURBAN at the final signup step to score $10 AUD free (no deposit needed). You can even spend it straight away with Apple Pay, just don’t forget as you can’t go back and add it later.

That’s it. You’re one step closer to flying high all year long. Applications are now open, sign up for a free YouTrip account before 20 April for a chance to win.

The Travel Card Designed For Life On The Move

At its core, YouTrip is a multi-currency wallet designed for travellers, letting users pay overseas with competitive exchange rates and zero FX fees. Instead of juggling multiple bank cards or worrying about hidden conversion charges, the app allows travellers to exchange and lock in rates for 10 different wallet currencies directly in-app. Especially handy for country-hoppers who are constantly chasing the sun. 

Payments work just like a regular debit card. Top up the wallet using Apple Pay or a regular card, then spend with the physical card overseas.

It works across 150+ countries, meaning the same card that covers a ramen run in Tokyo can also handle a boutique hotel in Barcelona.

There are a few perks built in as well. Users can withdraw up to A$1500 from ATMs each month without fees; after that, a small fee applies. New users also receive 2% cash back on foreign-currency spending for the first 5 months, capped at $40 per month.

For frequent travellers, it’s essentially a smarter way to handle money abroad without the usual surprises that appear after the trip.

Applications to enter are now open until 20 April, and find the full terms and conditions here.
