All of these tips are practical ways to earn travel points and save cash that can be added to your familyโ€™s travel fund:

  1. Use the shopping portals on your favorite airlineโ€™s website to earn travel miles.
  2. Do your grocery shopping when the most reward points are offered (Summer earned 150 points for a single purchase equaling a free round trip fare at the end of the year!)
  3. Use smartphone apps like Poachit to make sure youโ€™re not overspending on holiday or every day items (make sure you talk to the manager before you leave to see if theyโ€™ll price match.)
  4. Look for price protection or โ€œprice rewindโ€ deals available through your credit cards (this is a super tip for anyone who uses credit cards to make purchases.)

What did you all think about the free $6,000 Winter Wonderland vacation the family claims to be taking for free based on the advice from MommyPoints?
