Travel Hacking Resources

written by Clint Johnston
Travel Hacking Resources

These Travel Hacking Resources are links from TripHackr and links to the best travel sites to help you travel for less and do more. If you are new to Travel Hacking or TripHackr this is a great place to start. And if you are a savvy travel veteran than you can use these links for all your future travel plans.

New to travel Hacking? Get started here:

Ultimate Travel Hacking Starter Guide

This should help you get signed up for rewards and travel perks to earn free travel. It will also teach you how to earn points and miles without even flying.

Travel Hacking is not all about points and miles. In fact, the most fun travel hacks don’t involve them at all. Simply learning how to book your trips, where to stay, and what to do on arrival all factor in to saving a lot of money. Of course, signing-up for a new Delta American Express will earn anyone a free flight right away but the key is to know how to keep saving and continue traveling for less.

Flight Hacking

There is nothing more important to getting a good deal on a flight. This is typically the first step for any trip for most travelers. We don’t all have thousands of miles banked (I don’t either) so we need to have the best tools available to book a cheap flight. Below you can see how I do it
