TIP- Maximize Rewards Programs

tip

Make the most of your earned rewards for summer vacations and other travel!

If anyone travels in your family, it is a good idea to sign-up for customer loyalty programs for hotels and airlines. Most companies allow their employees to use the points earned on business trips for personal use as is the case with my husband. Over time these points add up and then you have more options when it comes to planning a vacation or perhaps need to travel unexpectedly. Below are a few ways to create more options for yourself and your family using your earned rewards:

Buy remaining points to get to award level

On our recent family vacation, we needed a rental car for the week; however we did not have enough Hilton Honors points to get a week rental on points. So my husband did the math and figured out that if he spent $20 to buy the remaining points to get to the award level for car rental for a week, then we would come out ahead. This small calculation ended up saving us about $600!

Use your points on the most expensive night's stay

On this same vacation, we needed to move locations and stay in a hotel for 2 nights and had enough Marriott points for one night's stay. We checked the rates and Friday night was $200 and Saturday night was $150, so we used our points for the Saturday night stay. This saved us $50!

Sign up the whole family!

When each family member accrues miles and points, then you may consolidate when you need to get to an award level. For example, I transferred points out of my Marriott account my husband's account to push it up so we could cash in for 2 FREE night's at a Ritz Carlton for our 10th anniversary! Also, each of our kids has their own frequent flyer account on airlines we use. Even if you do not fly very often, when each child accrues points, you may transfer these to one account to build them up.

By remembering these simple tips, you will maximize your points and/or miles earned with customer loyalty programs much the way you maximize your money when you use coupons!

The Couponizer of the Month

I love the Couponizer. I have mine since you started. I have recommended it to numerous people and they adore it. I knew It did the job when I went into a wholesale store and had there coupons along with manufactures coupons my bill was $512.36 when I put thru all my coupons the lady who ran the front couldn't believe it as well as my mother. My bill was $140.98. All it takes me is not even 1 hour a week to organize everything. I also work 45 hours a week cook clean and I'm a single mother of a teenager so I have to save. I lost my first one and couldn't wait for my new one to arrive. But now you sell it in a few of the Publix Supermarkets which is where I work to make it convenient. Thanks for the best invention.
