Free Transportation
Fly for free. One of our favorite sites, SwagBucks.com, offers points (“Swag Bucks”) that you can accumulate through surveys, daily polls, offers and more. You then redeem these bucks for prizes from the online “Swag Store.” One of the prizes? Southwest Airlines gift cards. That’s seriously free flying.
Rack up some points. If you do use credit (assuming you don’t suffer from the whole no-willpower thing), sign up for a credit card that rewards you with travel points for purchases. Check out the best options for you at NerdWallet.com.
Get a discount. Not enough time to rack up the points? Look for discounted airline gift cards on sites like ABCGiftCards.com to cut down on costs.
Speak up. Lastly, if you feel your experience on a flight you recently took was sub-par, write to the company! Depending on your experience, you may be offered a travel voucher for your next trip.
