What's pending for Away Mode right now

We've written before about how we decide whether a partner makes the list — the short version is we don't add a link until an application is actually approved. In that same spirit of being upfront about the pipeline rather than only announcing finished results, here's what's currently pending, not live yet.

Travel-document processing

We've applied directly to a travel-document and eVisa processing service's own affiliate program and are waiting to hear back. It's a real fit for the "everything else, handled" idea — sorting out entry requirements is exactly the kind of pre-trip logistics Away Mode already covers for insurance, luggage, and mail.

Audiobooks and ebooks

We've also applied to an audiobook and ebook service through their affiliate network. Long-haul flights are a natural occasion for exactly this — several of our own destination guides (Tokyo, Sydney, Bali) are long enough hauls that "something to actually read or listen to" is a real, unglamorous part of the trip.

Neither is live yet

Both applications are genuinely pending — no decision back either way. We're not counting on approval, and we won't add either link to Away Mode or anywhere else until it actually comes through with a real, working tracking link, same discipline as every partner already on the list.
