Yesterday’s Winner of the One Year of Premium Service from ExpertFlyer is George B from PHL with the tip Similar to American’s policy of letting you tack on an additional leg for free on international awards, United allows you to do the same thing as well as open-jaws, meaning you can get a “free” one way domestic award on a United award ticket. You can see it all at MileValue and MommyPoints. There were some great deals yesterday with the AA lounge pass, southwest and jetblue flight deals, but this is one that we can all use for a free one-way domestic award ticket on United. George, please email rick@frugaltravelguy.com to collect.

Thanks to everyone that submitted a deal / tip, keep them coming!

Since the giveaway is for rent cars, here’s a great deal that can save a lot of money (particularly for those under 25).
USAA provides a great discount for Avis, Hertz, and Budget.
1) Sign up for USAA (open to anyone) here.
2) After doing so (make sure you are actually registered with USAA or this is not legit), use the USAA Car Rental Discount Codes: Hertz (77694), Budget (Y126501), and Avis (A177232).
3) This gives a great discount and waives the under-25 fee when you use the codes on the companies’ sites.

When payment of your annual fee comes due on your credit card, call and ask for a Retention bonus. United (Chase) just offered me 15,000 miles if I spend $3000 in 30 days. It was a good deal since I have a couple of big expenditures to pay.

Not sure if this is new or not but just received notice from AA that their CITI credit card would give you 40,000 miles for spending $3000 in 3 months.
