Spring Break: The Older Years

Cheap Spring Breaks aren’t a difficult feat for college students; pack a car, over-fill a hotel room, enjoy cheap drinks for 5 days and you’re set. But how do you find a good bargain for a good ol’ fashioned, fun family time?  MSN Money and Liz Weston bring you Spring Breaks that won’t bust the bank – so you can get some sun and still pay like you’re in college.

If you aren’t signed up for some sort of travel rewards program, you should be. Convert your airline miles into hotel points, get free night stays, or discounted air travel. Make the vacation affordable once you get there by visiting free or low costing attractions like a national park, split a vacation home with friends, or buddy up with an out of town family and swap residences for a week.  And the big one; last minute deals. As you peruse this week, don’t forget to keep SmartyPig’s cash back retailers in mind, where you can receive money for booking your travel, dining out, and on entertainment, too!

Wishing you successful saving.
