Looking to treat yourself with a sweet little trip this year but can’t quite figure out if you can swing it money-wise? Rest assured, there are plenty of tips and tricks out there to help you get your class on without spending a boatload of cash while travelling.

 1. Use credit cards with travel rewards.

The Bank of America is just one of many banks that partners with various airlines, cruise lines and even Amtrak to offer different rewards packages based on your preferences.

2. Eat out sparingly.

Get a room with a fridge and spend some time strolling through local markets as part of your adventures. Pick up light snacks during the day that will be filling enough to have for dinner. Check out restaurant.com for deals. Choose to spend $10-$20 on restaurant breakfasts and lunches instead of dinners, where entrees typically cost $15-$40. Check sites like restaurant.com ahead of time to save money on dining out.

3. Hotel finders.

Sign up for hotel-finder sites like Travel Set Go to get the lowest hotel rates guaranteed.

4. Book last-minute.

If you’re interested in package vacations, check out sites like lastminute.com to take advantage of last-minute deals.

5. Prioritize.

Figure out what you love first, and then find the cheap/free options at your destination. Both before and during your travels, don’t wait for bargains to just appear and then do them “just because they are free.” Figure out your priorities before you go on your trip or before you head out for a day, then center your journey on the things that are most important to you. For instance, if checking out a show at the Met in New York is your dream but it costs $100, saving that money is probably just a matter of taking a bus instead of a cab from the airport and holding off on a couple of extra souvenirs.
