Travel with Nature

Because of the nature of coupon sites and the marketing strategy of travel sites such as Travelocity, Orbitz, Expedia and Hotwire.com, the use of travel coupons and finding legitimate coupons has become rather difficult. Today I am going to teach you the ins and outs of travel coupons.

Lets use the online coupon site GoPromoCodes.com and their travel listings as an example. There are 4 types of “coupons” and deals listed here.

The first type is the standard coupon with an actual promotional code. These are the only ones listed that will actually save you money on a purchase by entering the code at checkout. The best example here is the code THANKS10 for CheapOAir com. By entering this code at checkout, a user will save $10 on their Thanksgiving flight that they normally wouldn’t have saved by going directly to CheapoAir com. These are the best types of coupons to look for on coupon sites.

The second type is the coupon that says something like 30% off San Francisco Hotels at Orbitz.com with an expiration date but no promo code. These are a little more confusing if they actually give a discount, because it is hard to determine what the 30% discount is coming from as there is no original price. However, I do believe that this type of coupon is a discount off the normal price because there is an expiration to the savings and I do think that these are valuable to use when trying to save money on travel expenses.

The third type of listing is the coupon that says something like this: Orlando Flights from $109. This isn’t really a coupon at all. It is merely listing the lowest possible price available at a specific time to a specific destination. These listings aren’t nearly as beneficial to the user unless you are looking for flights to a specific destination with flexible flying dates and flying times. However, it is possible that a user will see this posting and get a great price on a travel arrangement that works for them, so it can be somewhat useful.
