Right now I am in the middle of putting the finishing touches on my own summer trip to Hawaii.  We have the hotel and the flights taken care of (on points!), but we still need to get a good deal on a rental car.  Since I am on the hunt anyway, I think it is a good time to share a few thoughts on the subject in my series on… Read the Rest.

Recently, my friends at Alamo reached out to me again to see if I was interested in giving away a prize pack while at the same time mentioning their new “Alamo Deal Retriever” system that they say will make finding the best deal for an Alamo rental a very efficient process. Alamo says that: “The Alamo Deal Retriever” searches all valid Alamo deals and coupons on the web to find… Read the Rest.

Alamo recently reached out to me to see if I would be interested in helping them share one of their current discount offers, and give away a couple prize packs that include a $100 Amex gift card.  Of course I am happy to both share car rental discount information, and get some good prizes in the hands of Mommy Points’ readers, so here are the details. $20 Off a Weekly… Read the Rest.

Last week Hertz reached out to me to see if I would be interested in helping them “end the summer with a bang” and give away 3,000 more Hertz points for you to use however you wish!  Um, yes please.  No, I don’t keep any of the points or anything else from Hertz for myself.    I am always more than willing to give away Hertz points for two main… Read the Rest.

Here are some mini-points on some major deals out there that I haven’t had a chance to write a full post on this week.  However, in case you haven’t yet had a chance to read about some of these deals, here is a brief rundown on things that have caught my eye. First and foremost, if you haven’t read Online Travel Review’s post on how to get to Hawaii in… Read the Rest.

I am gearing up for a trip to the beach with my terrific traveling toddler (her recent performance of staying cheerful during delays that kept us traveling until after 12AM have earned her the additional descriptor of “terrific”).  In order to get to the beach in North Carolina, price dictated that we will be flying into an airport that will require a few hours of driving after our flight.  That… Read the Rest.

Recently Hertz reached out to me to see if I would be interested in promoting their recent achievement of being voted “Best Overall Car Rental Company” in Zagat’s 2012/13 U.S. Car Rental Survey.  To celebrate they wanted to give away Hertz Gold Plus Rewards Points to readers of this site.  Valuable Hertz Gold Plus Rewards Points for readers of Mommy Points?!  Yes, sign me up, please.  In case you were… Read the Rest.

Happy Friday and Happy Birthday Weekend to my husband!  Think he would be mad if he got Hertz points for his birthday??  Okay, Hertz points probably wouldn’t make a great birthday present for him, but they are still a very solid deal.  Today there are three different Hertz packages for sale on the Daily Getaways website ranging from 5,000 points to 15,000 points.  Free rentals start at 500 points for… Read the Rest.

I have to admit, that I kind of ignored this deal a little until I started reading more of the fine print.  While this deal isn’t overly exciting, it actually doesn’t look half-bad as a way to save a little money with Alamo car rentals.  The way this deal works is you buy a $50 discount certificate for $25 (or $22.50 with an Amex card), and then you can apply… Read the Rest.

Before I talk about the next Daily Getaways deal, I want to do a quick recap of how the first day of the Daily Getaways Deals went.  I was successful in purchasing one package of 25,000 Priority Club points today from the Daily Getaways Day One sale.  I got in right when the presale started, but within a minute or two the presale packages had been spoken for.  There was… Read the Rest.
