We love traveling.  Whether it’s a last-minute, spontaneous weekend trip or a thoughtfully planned out week-long vacation, sometimes it’s nice to just get away on a family vacation.

One of my favorite things about traveling is how much money can be saved.  For example, we rarely spend money on hotels.  If we need to rent a car, it’s always at a deep discount. And most of the time when we spend money, we earn cash back and points.

easy ways families can save money on travel

Save Money on Travel

Below you will find my top-three ways to save money when traveling:

 1.  Use Ebates for everything!  Ebates is the simplest way to earn cash back online.  It’s three easy steps.  1. Join for free at the Ebates website. 2. Search for any company to see if they are offering cash back… ie. Hotels.com, Travelocity, Priceline, Hertz, etc…  3. Click the “Shop Now” button.  You will be taken to their website, and you can book travel as usual.  The difference is that after the transaction, you will receive cash back in your Ebates account that will be paid to you on a quarterly basis.  I use Ebates all the time and love getting a check in the mail each quarter for simply starting at their website when I make purchases online.  Sign up for Ebates through this referral link and receive $10 after making your first purchases totaling $25 or more in the first 90 days.

2.  Check Airbnb for unique accommodation options.  Would you like to stay in an awesome house or apartment instead of a hotel?  Are you traveling in a group?  It may be cheaper to book on Airbnb.com.  When I traveled to Washington, D.C., with my husband and brothers, we booked an apartment through Airbnb and split the cost.  It ended up being much cheaper than booking multiple hotel rooms.  Plus, we got to stay in a fun neighborhood area and live like locals while we were there.  People will rent out everything from guest houses, cute bungalows, and Airstreams, to entire homes on land and acreage.  It’s really fun to search through the options, and be sure to read through the reviews.  Sign up for Airbnb through this referral link and receive $40 off your first trip of $75 or more.

3.  Earn points toward free hotel stays.  Save money on travel just by charging your purchases on a credit card that gives you points toward free hotel stays.  With the Hilton Honors American Express, for example, you can earn bonus points for purchases at restaurants, supermarkets, gas stations, and many other places, and there’s no annual fee!  We use our card all the time, pay off the balance in full every month, and have enjoyed numerous free stays at a variety of hotels in the Hilton brand including Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, and Homewood Suites.  By being a Hilton Honors member, you also receive some nice perks when staying at one of their hotels.  Apply for a Hilton Honors American Express through my referral link and earn 65,000 Hilton Honors bonus points after spending $1,000 in purchases on the Card within the first 3 months of Card membership.

Happy travels!
