Keep This Stock Ticker on Your Watchlist

They’re a private company, but Pacaso just reserved the Nasdaq ticker “$PCSO.”

No surprise the same firms that backed Uber, eBay, and Venmo already invested in Pacaso. What is unique is Pacaso is giving the same opportunity to everyday investors. And 10,000+ people have already joined them.

Created a former Zillow exec who sold his first venture for $120M, Pacaso brings co-ownership to the $1.3T vacation home industry.

They’ve generated $1B+ worth of luxury home transactions across 2,000+ owners. That’s good for more than $110M in gross profit since inception, including 41% YoY growth last year alone.

And you can join them today for just $2.90/share. But don’t wait too long. Invest in Pacaso before the opportunity ends September 18.

Paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals.

✈️ Passrider Non-Rev Travel Tip of the Week

Think Two Trips Ahead

As we roll into mid-September, summer crowds are fading, but loads are still unpredictable with weather disruptions, lingering holiday returns, and conferences picking up again. The best way to get ahead isn’t just to plan for your next flight, but to plan for the trip after that too.

Here’s how to make it work:

  • Check patterns, not just loads. If flights home look wide open now, check the following week too. Sometimes the return trip will be far busier (think conventions, college breaks, or sporting events).

  • Pre-plan your escape routes. If you make it to your destination but your return flights look impossible, know in advance which alternate airports, hubs, or ground options you can use to get back.

  • Build your “two-trip toolkit.” Keep a running note (phone or notebook) with backup routings, train/bus options, and secondary airports for your top 5 cities. That way, you’re never scrambling.

  • Travel light for agility. A single carry-on makes pivoting mid-journey (to another city, airport, or hub) much easier.

Pro move: When you’re checking loads, always ask yourself — if I get there, how am I getting back? Thinking two steps ahead is what separates seasoned non-revs from the gate-lurkers.
