Try out Airbnb. Renting a home, condo, or even just a single room through Airbnb is almost always cheaper than an overnight stay in a hotel. You can reserve the entire place, or choose to just stay in an extra bedroom for a fraction of the price. Click here to read our recent blog post, on how to save even more money with Airbnb!

Choose your dates wisely. If possible, you should avoid high demand travel days. These are much busier (and more expensive) than regular travel days. Examples would be Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s weekend, and Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Try to choose departure days that fall before or after peak times.

 

Book a last-minute cruise. Cruises are normally very expensive affairs with costs exceeding $700 USD per person for a small interior room. But if you wait until the right moment, you can find a variety of last-minute deals! When you’re shopping around for the right cruise to fit your budget, allow Benefits Plus^® to book the cruise for you. With your Benefits Plus^® checking account, you can also enjoy cash back on your cruise purchase!
