Get on the A List

Yes, its more inbox clutter, but if you subscribe to the e newsletters of the airlines, hotels and car rental companies you like to use, youll often find out before the general public about promotions like last minute hotel discounts, weekend rental specials and flights that can suddenly be booked for fewer frequent flyer miles. The prime deals are always snapped up quickly, so any edge helps. Note that for many of these promotions, you must enter a special code when booking and if you dont, youll be charged full price.
