Trade Your Way to the USA is a children's reality television gameshow that is presented by The Apprentice Series 1 runner-up Saira Khan. The show is about young traders aged between eleven and fourteen attempting to negotiate and haggle when buying in order to get the best deals when selling products. A second series began on 23 April 2012. A third series began on CBBC at 4:30 on Monday 15 April 2013 and lasted 10 episodes.
The first episode featured 'Magic Miles' at the Scarborough Joke & Magic Shop, and the National Railway Museum.
Fourteen teams are selected by the show's producers and proceed to the heats, where each team battles against another team to win a place in the semi-finals. The top four teams out of those winning each challenge then take on each other in two semi-finals. The winners of each semi-final will then go on to the grand final in New York. In series two the format is the same except for the final which is held in Dallas, Texas. In series 3 the format is the same except once again with the final held in Florida.
