Deal of the Day – TripAlertz – May 3, 2012

May 3, 2012 - FrugalTravelGuy

I’m proud to announce our newest sponsor for Deal of the Day: TripAlertz. I just booked five nights in Aruba for the beginning of December. We’ll enjoy some time in the sun before we head to Australia for New Years.

TripAlertz.com is a private community of more than 10 million travelers worldwide, with member-only discounts on hotels and resorts of 20 to 67 percent off the leading public hotel sites. TripAlertz serves the custom needs of hotel partners by filling empty rooms in weaker occupancy periods, yet does not require “last-minute” booking to realize these great savings.

We’ve put up some of our finds, but you now have the opportunity to win a $50 TripAlertz credit (you’ll need a TripAlertz account – Free) for the best overall travel deal submitted. A great mileage run, mistake fare, partner promo, new card sign-up offer, or the special twist you figured out on a deal today. Add it to the comments section of the post to be eligible to win. Just add your “find” (along with your first name, last initial, and airport) to the comments tonight by 11:59pm ET. Good Luck and Good Hunting.

Book a stay at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island $199/night and receive $600 of activities. Plus, if you book a hotel + air package of 4 nights or longer you can receive $250 in airfare credit or $400 when you stay 6 nights.

You can earn up to 6,000 bonus points from Priority Rewards by signing up and staying at one of their locations.

Lucky has a great post outlining how he chooses to use Starwood’s Cash + Points rate to make sure you maximize point value. (SPG’s cash & points is the my favorite redemption)

Air France has release their new 50% off award routes. For May-June you can travel on some routes for 50% off the usual award rate! Thanks Gary.
