Outside of flights, accommodation is usually the next big travel expense. Luckily, it's quite easy to get free or cheap accommodation.
- Hotel Deals: Getting a sweet deal on a hotel is actually really easy, especially if you are in the United States. Simply head over to Priceline or Hotwire and bid on rooms. When you know your dates, just head to Better Bidding
first to see what similar people bid on and won at. Use that as your
baseline. I used this method to get a hotel room in Times Square, New
York during Christmas for $85 USD per night. (That is a huge bargain!)
