Santini Wanderlust Talks: How to Save Money on Travel with Memberships and Programs

"Santini Wanderlust Talks" is my Wednesday Series where I share BTS, tips, hacks, tools, and resources to build my travel piggy bank and pro tips for saving money on travel.

How often do you sign up for FREE memberships? I’m talking about hotel, resort, and airline memberships and programs.

If you don’t, you’re leaving money on the table! #WhereTheyDoThatAt My travel hack/tip for today is → while booking your next trip, sign up for all of the free memberships and programs.

Here’s what I’ve received in the past

1. Huge savings/discounts on room costs (booked directly through hotel/resort site)

2. Free room upgrades

3. Free welcome gifts (bottles of liquor, champagne, swag)

4. Access to exclusive/private areas of the resort (typically reserved for people that paid for the exclusivity)

5. Free round-trip airport shuttle

6. Used airline points to pay for inflight wifi

So back to my question - Do you sign up for FREE memberships?
