Top 5 Budget Saving Tips: Travel Like a Celeb for Cheap!
1) Fly like a Celeb:
Fly to St. Bart’s, Cabo or Cannes using rewards points. Many cards offers double points on eligible gas, grocery, drugstore and travel, so you can earn points as you spend. In terms of which card is best for you http://thepointsguy.com is a great resource to help you secure great into offers and game the system. It’s travel hacking at its finest. In addition to free flights and status, you can use your rewards points towards hotel accommodations (from Little Nell in Aspen to the Esperanza Hotel in Cabo) so you could be rubbing elbows with the likes of Cameron Diaz, Mariah Carey, J. Lo or Fergie.
2) Spa like a Celeb:
Get pampered and polished at the Terranea Resort, a stunning ocean front Mediterranean estate not far from Los Angeles. If their amazing Crystal Quartz Body Scrub, Volcanic Clay wrap or Thai massage treatments don’t fit within your budget, opt for a classic manicure. When you book this $45 treatment, you get access to the resort’s facilities and can spend the day lounging by their pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean, steaming in the sauna or working out in their state of the art fitness facility. http://www.terranea.com/
3) Dine like a Celeb:
STK, Nobu, Bouchon, Craft and Scarpetta are just some of the hot celebrity-chef-run restaurants to dominate the culinary scene…and the pocketbook. For high-end dining at a fraction of the price, opt for breakfast or lunch instead of dinner. An early meal often means better deals.
