I am sure we have all come up with good deals or discounts which really help. It's amazing that sometimes you talk with seasoned "sponsors" (that's a technical word for parents) who don't realize that they can qualify for a special discount card that can save 20% on accommodation.
Premier Travel Inns have an Emerald Card which gives 20% off and that means you can save £18 to £20 a weekend. I don't know if these are still available but the application form used to be available through Beefeater Restaurants only. Give it a try but I think you may have to be over aged 50 to qualify. They also used to have other discount cards.
Do you look for the Travelodge £10, £15 0r £20 rooms? You can't cancel but what a saving. Even if you have booked six months in advance why not check up to see what is now available as you may be able to replace your earlier booking. Don't leave it too late as you have to book up to two weeks in advance.
Are you a member of the Holiday Inn Group "Priority Club"?. No discounts but fabulous check in and check out service and you get "points" which can add up to a free night. Don't forget the special deals as sometimes the Holiday Inn can be cheaper than the near by Holiday Inn Express, but you don't get the free breakfast.
Going to France? We recently missed a great price of £140 return on the Channel Tunnel which turned out to be fortunate. A quick visit on the Net to "Drive Alive" and we got two nights accommodation plus breakfast and return ferry crossing Dover/Calais for just £167.
What great deals do you know about and can share?
If you don't know any tips to get a great deal, do you know a great location? If so spread the news as every saving helps.
And guys, don't forget to collect your Nectar points in the evening. If you don't your wife may not be happy!
Cheap Ski Holidays!

Well a maxim that i follow for ferry bookings is to book and pay at a round Xmas time for my Easter trip. Car and four passengers usually on the off peak crossings for £70 return is what we aim for. Take the Friday off work and try for an afternoon crossing rather than waiting for the evening crossings. It just saves soo much cash when you are booking 3 or 4 cars.
