Save Money On Your Next Vacation Or Even Travel For Free
Everybody loves to travel and take vacations. In fact, most adults live their lives from one vacation to the next. They get through the daily grind by remembering and telling others about the vacation they just took or thinking about and planning the next vacation they will take. I don’t even want to think about the lost productivity from all the time talking about, dreaming about, thinking about, and planning of vacations on company time. Good thing I am one of those people dreaming and planning and not one of those losing money because I am being less productive – ha ha ha.
If you want to get a free stay at a new resort in many of the top resort cities, you may be able to get a free stay just for listening to a presentation on why you should buy a condo or buy into a time share. All you have to do is pay attention to advertising you hear on the radio, watch on TV, or see in newspapers or magazines. I just heard an advertisement yesterday for a free Las Vegas resort hotel stay. You can also do a little searching on Google and find some free stays. Be aware of the fact that you will have to sit through a high pressure sales pitch as to why you should buy a condo or time share, but a free vacation in exchange for a couple hours of sales pitch is probably a good deal.
Another way to get free vacations is to look for promotions when you buy other products. For example, lets say you are looking to buy a new or used car. Some times, car dealerships have promotions where they give things away to new customers. Now, you probably don’t want to wait around until the car you want has a free trip with it, but if you know you want to buy a car some time soon and the local dealership happens to run a promotion where you can get a free trip for buying car, why not do it sooner rather than later. Another promotion I have seen is businesses giving a free vacation away for listening to a sales presentation. This is similar to the time share example I mentioned above and I personally use it to encourage people to listen to a presentation I make about Ambit Energy by giving them a voucher for a free 2 night hotel stay at their choice of vacation destinations. Ambit Energy also rewards customers with the same 2 night hotel stay so people who listen to my presentation then sign up to save money on their electricity or natural gas bill, get 2 vacations. Look around and pay attention to special offers and you can get a lot of stuff for free, not just travel.
One of my favorite ways to get free travel and other rewards is to sign up for programs that give rewards for doing something you do anyways. Many credit cards are available today that give rewards points for making purchases. If you were to pay all your bills with credit card then pay the credit card every month instead of paying the bills directly, you can earn vacations or other great stuff very quickly. If you travel frequently, you can sign up for frequent flyer miles and get more free travel. Virtually every airline has this program. Many hotel chains also have this rewards point program as well. There are even energy companies like Ambit Energy that give customers rewards points for paying their electricity or natural gas bill. Sometimes you can even combine rewards programs so your hotel stay and your airfare give rewards points to one common account.
These are some simple ways to travel for free or save a bunch of money on your vacations. If you look around there are other ways. One possibility is to become a free lance writer and do hotel or resort reviews. You will have to work on finding a publication that wants to publish your stuff, but they may either pay for your trip or pay you directly for your articles. If you are diligent,you can save a bunch of money and get some great trips. Good luck on getting your next vacation paid for by somebody else!
