As the July 4th holiday approaches and you’re spending more money taking that pre-COVID trip or just spending time with your friends and family. We have sure-fire ways to help you save money by taking advantage of deals that most people don’t know about.
Did you know that when you travel to any hotel in the U.S., you can ask for a State, Federal or Government rate even if you are not traveling on business? Ask EVERY hotel and then show them your state, work, or even AAA ID to get instant savings.
Here are a few of our easiest and quickest way to cash out by selling what you don’t need.
1. Trade in new and slightly used items at consignment stores like Buffalo Exchange for a store credit or cold hard cash. Before you let your items go, “thank” your items and wish them love with someone who can use and appreciate them.
2. There was an old American Express ad that said “membership” has its privilege. Did you know that you may have privilege and access to discounts without it? Ask your employer, college, or even your nonprofit organizations and civic groups if you qualify for a discount as a member or alumni.
3. You can add more money to your pocket not only during tax time. Talk to your tax advisor/accountant and/or your employer about changing your withholdings to put more cash in your hands during the year and less of a refund in April.
4. One thing credit card Companies rarely if ever offer you is an opportunity to LOWER your current interest rate. However, simply calling the company and sharing that you are looking to consolidate your debt and would they be able to lower your current interest rate by several points. They won’t drop your 13.95% to 7% (without a fee) however they may agree to give a smaller interest rate simply by asking for 12.50%.
Take (2) two hours this week or weekend to call your mobile, credit card, and other debtors to inquire about ways to create savings.
