Now Enjoy some Recession Travel Tips from MSNBC.com
1. Cash in those bank rewards travel points
Citibank,
Chase and Capital One have been hit hard with the financial crisis, and
they're watering down the value of credit card rewards points as a
result. If you have 20,000 or fewer points (or miles) in any of the
major credit-cards rewards programs, consider cashing then in before
they're devalued further.
2. Save money on fancy restaurants
Go
to Restaurant.com and buy a $25 gift certificate for a fine restaurant
near you (or at your destination) for only $10. Hundreds of eateries
are willing to sell $25 gift certificates for only $10 because it helps
encourage customers to dine at their establishments.
3. Packages can offer the best savings, but a new Web site helps verify the quality of any given deal
To fill rooms and seats, hotels
and airlines will resort to rock-bottom prices, but they don't want to
publicize these discounts. So they sell a certain number of rooms or
seats to companies that bundle them in packages. How good of a deal are
these packages? Dealbase.com trawls the Internet for package deals. Its
computers then figure out how much it would cost to book the component
parts of the package (such as the hotel room and spa credit)
separately, estimating for you how much you will (or won't) save by
booking the package.
4. Use envelopes for easy budgeting during a trip
If
you have trouble sticking to your budget or keeping track of numbers,
try putting cash into different envelopes marked for each day. Only
spend the cash in your envelope. Use your debit card for emergencies
only.
5. Try a ‘supermarket souvenir’
Instead of
loading up on $20 T-shirts nobody likes, seek out local supermarket
staples that may seem exotic back home. Examples include
chocolate-covered macadamia nuts from a Safeway in Hawaii or a
nicely-packaged box of tea from a Tesco supermarket in Britain. Check
out our gallery of inspiring supermarket souvenirs from our staff and
our readers.
