Upgraded Points is looking for someone willing to binge-watch 15 travel movies to help them find trends in trips, destinations, themes and more. The chosen applicant will need to watch the films, take notes and report back specific information.
Along with a $75 gift card to rent the films, the winner will also receive $1,500 cash to spend on an actual trip or anything else they’d like.

Applicants must also be willing to research information about the film and how it relates to travel. The company is looking for someone who can tell stories connecting cinema and real-world travel.
