Travel Tip #10: Check for special discounts

Tuesday 22 September 2009

There are lots of opportunities to get special discounts on hotels, restaurants, transportation and attractions all over the world, but many travellers may not realize it or may simply forget about it at the time of purchase.

Sometimes these discounts can save a lot of money too, especially when factored into, for instance, a long hotel stay. Students, young children, AARP members or senior citizens, Diners Club members, people under age 26 (mostly in Europe), large groups, families, and AAA members are some of the most popular candidates for not having to pay full price. The type of discounts offered and the amount/percentage of savings varies with each individual establishment, but it never hurts to ask about it. And don’t forget to always have something on hand that proves your eligibility!
