What Is a Stamp'd Score? How We Track Your Travel Life
Most people have traveled more than they think. A weekend in New Orleans here. A college trip to Cancun there. That one summer you spent two weeks backpacking through Europe. The work trip to Tokyo that turned into a real adventure.
The problem is none of it has ever been counted. No record. No credit. No way to look back and see the full shape of your travel life.
That's what the Stamp'd score is for.
Your travel life, measured
Your Stamp'd score is a points-based system that tracks how much of the world you've explored, who you've explored it with, and how varied and committed your adventures have been. The maximum score is 1,260 points, earned across four categories.
Here's how each one works.
Travel Score — up to 350 points
This is the foundation. How many countries have you visited? How many cities? How many continents?
Every new stamp on your digital passport adds to this score. The world is big — 195 countries, seven continents, thousands of cities worth seeing. Your Travel Score is the most direct measure of how much of it you've actually seen.
A tourist who's done one cruise scores differently than someone who's hit 40 countries across six continents. The Travel Score reflects that.
Social Score — up to 300 points
Travel is better with people. The Social Score rewards trips taken with others — the larger the group, the more travel buddies over time, and the consistency of traveling with your crew.
This doesn't mean solo travel is penalized. Solo trips count too — they just score differently. The Social Score exists because Stamp'd is built around the belief that shared experiences are worth more than experiences alone. The memories that last are usually the ones where someone else was there to witness them.
Diversity Score — up to 350 points
Did you spend ten years going to the same beach in Florida, or did you mix in cultural cities, adventure trips, mountain hikes, and food tours across different regions?
The Diversity Score rewards range. Different trip types, different regions, different climates, different kinds of experiences. It's the score that pushes you outside your comfort zone — because the travelers who remember the most are the ones who didn't just go back to the same place every year.
Diversity isn't about judging where you go. It's about encouraging you to go somewhere new.
Commitment Score — up to 260 points
This one is simple: do you actually go?
The Commitment Score tracks trip frequency, your longest trip, and your planning activity inside Stamp'd. It rewards people who don't just talk about travel — they book it. They show up. They go.
A Legendary traveler doesn't just have an impressive map. They have an impressive cadence. They go somewhere every year. They take the long trip. They say yes when the group finally agrees on a destination.
Your digital passport
Every trip you take earns a stamp. Your world map fills in country by country. You can see your stats at a glance — countries visited, continents explored, stamps earned, total score, and your current traveler rank.
The passport is yours to keep, update, and share. It's a visual record of everywhere you've been, built automatically as you travel.
The six traveler ranks
As your score grows, you climb through six ranks:
Uncharted — You're just getting started. The map is empty and the world is wide open. Every trip from here is a new stamp.
Tourist — You've got a few stamps. You've seen some things, taken some trips, started building a travel history worth tracking.
Explorer — You're building momentum. Travel is becoming part of your life, not just an occasional event. Your map is filling in.
Adventurer — Travel is a priority. You seek it out. You plan it. You go. Your score reflects a life that moves.
Globe Trotter — You've seen serious parts of the world. Multiple continents. Diverse experiences. A travel history that earns respect.
Legendary — The top tier. Reserved for travelers who have genuinely committed to seeing the world — in breadth, depth, and consistency. Your passport tells a story most people only dream about.
Share your travel card
Stamp'd generates a shareable travel card — a visual snapshot of your world map, your stats, your rank, and your score. Post it on Instagram. Share it with the group. Use it as motivation before the next trip.
It's a one-glance summary of your travel life, updated automatically every time you add a trip.
Why it matters
The Stamp'd score isn't a competition — though the global leaderboard makes it a fun one if you want it to be.
It's a mirror. A way to see your travel life laid out clearly and give yourself credit for the experiences you've had. To notice the patterns — the years you traveled a lot, the years you didn't. The regions you've explored deeply and the ones that are still blank on your map.
And it's a motivator. When you can see the gap between where your score is and the next rank, the next trip stops feeling optional.
Most people have traveled more than they think. Your Stamp'd score will prove it — and show you exactly where to go next.
