Gas prices are jumping. Airline ticket prices are soaring. But don’t let your dreams of a summer vacation fly away. Good deals and summer bargains are everywhere. Here are a couple of ways to save on your summer vacation.
1. Do you have a Bank of America credit card or debit card? If you do, you’ll get in FREE at over 70 museums around the country. It’s happening the first weekend of every month for the next year. For example, you can get in free at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, a ticket that would normally set you back $20. Check out this website for a list of all the participating museums.
2. Look for gas rebates. Some vacation getaways eager for your business are offering gas rebates. At BnBFinder.com many bed and breakfasts are offering to deduct the cost of a tank of gas from the price of your room. On this site you can also find a long list of “one-tank trips.” Just click on the city you live in and they’ll give you a list of Bed and Breakfasts you can get to on a tank of gas.
3. Set your alarm early. Leaving on the first flight out of town or hitting the road before the sun is out is a great way to save some money. You’ll avoid spending an extra night in a hotel and according to AAA, that’s no small amount of cash. According to a recent AAA survey the average cost for lodging in North America is $164 per night for double occupancy. Plus you may be able to find a better deal on that early morning flight.
