How to Travel Cheap: Pick the Right Destinations<\/span><\/h2>\n

Gili Trawangan, Indonesia<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re a fan of beach holidays minus the crowds, Gili Trawangan is the ideal getaway<\/a> for you. Part of the Gili Islands in Lombok, Gili Trawangan is less touristy as compared to Bali but equally enchanting. When in Gili Trawangan, make sure you visit the night market located near the jetty to try out the local Indonesian street food.<\/p>\n

Ombak Sunset Point is a lovely place to catch the sunset and is also the spot of the famous \u201cOmbak sunset swing\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Tip: Go early if you want a picture of you on the swing. Long queues form at peak times!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Duration<\/strong>: 4 days, 3 nights<\/p>\n

Transportation<\/strong>: Taxi is about RM160 (RM80 one way) from the airport to Bangsal Jetty (use the Blue Bird taxis). The cost to hire a boat from Bangsal to Gili Trawangan is about RM160 (about RM80 one way).<\/p>\n

I found out that a cheaper option was to actually take the public boats which are about RM3-5 one way. However you will have to wait until the boat reaches about 20 people before it leaves. When at Gili Trawangan there are no cars, so either you rent a bicycle or ride a Cidomo<\/em> (horse carriage) for about RM50.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Total cost<\/strong>: about RM1,400 if you hire a boat or RM1,250 if you take public boats.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Krabi, Thailand<\/h2>\n

Does crystal clear waters, blue skies and aromatic food sound good to you? Then it\u2019s time to plan for a trip to Krabi<\/a>! To make the most of your trip, do your best to get accommodation located on Ao Nang<\/em> beach.

Make sure you have all of the currencies used here (USD$, Dong and Ringgit) because certain places like the airport only accept USD, while other shops and even the taxis will accept the Dong or Ringgit. Alternatively, take a credit card with you so you won\u2019t have to carry around so much cash with you.

How To Save Money When Travelling<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

We’ve covered where\u00a0to go and when to book. How<\/em>\u00a0you\u00a0book also matters. You can in fact earn discounts and rewards just by choosing the right\u00a0credit cards and loyalty programs to complete your booking.<\/p>\n

\"book-travels-online\"<\/p>\n

Save More With Travel Rewards <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Save money by ensuring you are using the right credit card when you travel. You get to collect air miles and points, which you can then use to redeem for free flight tickets!<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have a credit card suitable for traveling, take note of these points before getting one:<\/p>\n

Credit Card\u00a0Travel Points\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Amp up your rewards with a credit card that offers bonus rewards points when you travel. For example, the Citibank Air Asia Gold Visa is great as you earn 2 AirAsia points for every Ringgit charged to the card. You\u2019ll soon be raking in points which you can then redeem for AirAsia BIG Points and score yourself free flights!<\/p>\n

Air Miles Validity \u00a0 \u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n

Look for a credit card which offers air miles have longer validity periods so you won\u2019t lose out if you forget to redeem your air miles before the expiry date. BIG Points are valid for 36 months (3 years) so again, the Citibank Air Asia Gold Visa is a handy option for travelers to rack up those air miles.<\/p>\n

Travel Perks<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Get a credit card which gives you great travelling perks like 24-hour concierge services, discounts on hotels, rental cars and free or discounted travel insurance. Remember to read the fine print, as you shouldn\u2019t have to commit to a minimum spend required by the bank just so you can enjoy these perks!<\/p>\n

Transaction Fees \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Always compare overseas transaction fees on your credit card, as different financial institutions offer different charges. Most banks charge between 1% – 1.5% on local currency equivalent of the overseas transaction amount. Go for a card with the lowest overseas transaction fees or use a credit card with the right rewards point multiplier to compliment your spending in order to offset any overseas transaction fees when traveling.<\/p>\n

Loyalty Program<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Did you know every time you book a holiday, you can earn points that qualify you for discounts?<\/p>\n

If you want to save more money while exploring the world, sign up for the free Expedia+ program.<\/a>\u00a0With Expedia+ you gain loyalty points for every flight, hotel and package you book. Points are redeemable for discounts on hotels. That means you can enjoy some free hotel nights!<\/p>\n

\"expedia+\"<\/p>\n

You can earn 2 points for every RM5 spent on hotels and package deals. Plus you also earn 2 points for every RM50 spent on flight tickets bought from Expedia. And the best part is that the more you travel, the more points you get to increase your membership status to redeem even more rewards!<\/p>\n

As an Expedia+ member, you also get exclusive member deals and access to VIP+ hotels. Silver and Gold Expedia+ members enjoy free perks like breakfast, spa credits or free room upgrades.<\/p>\n

On top of all that, by booking your trips as an Expedia+ member, you can still collect your airline miles, your credit card points AND enjoy the Expedia+ loyalty benefits. Score!<\/p>\n
