Cheapness Ad Nauseam

Thought I'd add one more story from this week that is awesome.

So I am going to Orlando in two weeks (!!!) and have to rent a minivan for our weekend extravaganza! I saw that they were all over $300, except for one place had them for $180. I made a reservation, but then was suspicious and googled them and the results are comical. Needless to say, I cancelled the reservation and was going to be stuck spending a lot of money! I then check out my favorite costcotravel.com and I of course also tried priceline.com. Still pricey.

Anyway, by some fluke I remembered that you can rent cars with frequent flier miles. So I tried it out and could rent my weekend minivan for 16,000 miles OR I could use 1,000 miles and $100. This is awesome, by the way, since 1000 frequent flier miles = about $10.

So there is my tip for you. 1000 frequent flier miles saved me $200.

Now I will stop blogging about saving money and instead blog about how awesome my life is, though I often find that to me they are one in the same...
