Here’s a little-known fact: People who hold as little as a single share of certain travel companies are entitled to instant perks that far outvalue the price of their investment.
Think of it as an alternate version of a loyalty program, one in which you follow the Warren Buffett philosophy of buying in to the companies that you love. With Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd that has lately cost around $109 a share; with Meliá Hotels International it’s been easily under $10. That nominal purchase can unlock a world of benefits, ranging from $1,000 shipboard credits on certain cruises to instant silver status.
