When buying anything, you get what you pay for and price is only one
consideration. Discount clubs are worthwhile if you take their offers frequently
and/or for the long term, as you save money only after redeeming the membership
costs. Inquire about free discounts before signing up.
Depending on the issuing bank, major credit card purchases can reap benefits
such as free travel insurance and legal aid. If you have a credit card, ask at
your local office for details on travel benefits. Discounts are available on
hotel reservations, car rentals, cruises and tours through auto-club membership:
you can get information from local offices.
Discount reservation services get good deals on flights and hotels. Dial
their toll-free numbers for details, especially on guaranteed exchange rate
deals. These protect you from loss through currency fluctuations. Also, ask your
travel agent about all-inclusive packages, which can save time and money.
