I was poking around and I noticed that the round trip flight to San Juan, Puerto Rico from New York is only $194-$214!!!!
This is a great deal and a great time to take either a short or long trip to Puerto Rico!
I’m also seeing even cheaper for people from Fort Lauderdale, FL. I’m assuming this is normal rate though since they are much closer to PR. Poke around, maybe there might be cheap round trip flights in your home town!
Part 1: Booking the car rental – Autoslash.com
I decided to go to South Beach Miami this past April and decided to rent a car. I wanted to rent a car cheaply as possible but I didn’t care to research the cheapest options. It takes too much time and effort. So I decided to check out Autoslash.com. What’s cool about Autoslash.com is that you can book a car through them or enter in your car rental information that you booked elsewhere and they will keep searching for cheaper prices for you automatically every day. Once they find a price that’s cheaper either with the same car company you initially rented with or with another car rental company, they will email you and let you know that they automatically cancelled the previous reservation and re-booked with the cheaper rate! If they find a cheaper rate with a different rental company, they will email you and ask if you want to switch to the cheaper rental or not.
My trip was for April 26-28. I wanted to pick up my car at FLL (Fort Lauderdale airport) on April 26th @ 12pm and drop it off on April 28th @ 12pm. That’s a 2 day rental. I also don’t care about renting a cool or bigger car. I wanted the cheapest car and that would probably save me on gas as well.
I booked with autoslash.com on March 6th for $44.41 all-in for 2 days. On March 25th I received an email from Autoslash that they found me a cheaper rate. I was thinking “WOW! Cheaper than $44.41???”. Only thing was that I had to switch my rental company from Payless to Sixt. I didn’t mind at all. Sixt is also a huge company in Europe. Not so big in the States though. This switch brought the final price down to $31.93. Not bad! That’s only $16 a day and I didn’t have to waste my time sitting in front of a computer looking for cheap prices or try to win a bid with priceline for cheap rental.
With my reservation in hand, when I arrive at FLL, I walked up to the Sixt repersentative’s desk and she even gave me an upgrade! I got a brand new 2013 Toyota Camry fully loaded. It’s a great car! I remember driving a Camry back in early 2000’s and the car now is sooooo different. It’s was an amazing car but it’s even better now. Anyways, Autoslash.com made car renting a breeze and so simple. The great thing about them is that their service is totally free (at least from what I see) and all the booking can be canceled at anytime and no credit card is needed when you book with them! It’s a totally win win situation! Try them next time you need a car rental.

American Airlines is having a sale on their Admirals Club passes for only the next 18 hours. Normally it’s $50 for each pass, but currently it’s 40% off. For $30 it can be a great way to get to an airport early and just relax away from the noise of the gate areas.

I just received an email from Jetblue about a great sale going on. Some of the one-way flights are only $39!
These are the terms:
I’m seeing Martha’s Vineyard, MA from NYC for only $39 one-way. Also, I might be interested in Bermuda ($100 one-way).
On a side note, since you can earn Jetblue points, you can set your Jetblue account to reward your other FF airline account instead of Jetblue if you want. I have my account to earn points with American Airlines when I fly on Jetblue.
Fandango had this deal last year and it’s back again. If you own a Visa Signature card, you go to https://www.fandango.com/visasignature and purchase 2 movie tickets for the price of one that is showing on a Friday. That’s it. Can’t get simpler than that!
I believe this promo ran for several weeks during the summer last year.
Jetblue has a promo where you can get from $20-$500 off round trip. This is a targeted promo. I received two promo codes via email for $50 off. However, there is a promo code of $75 off for round trip and $37.50 off for one way that we can use if we received promo codes that are less than this amount. Just go to the Jetblue promo web page and enter in the promo code 3L2DQ3S4 to receive the discount. You must book your flight by 11:59pm EST May 1st and travel by June 20th, 2012. Have a good day!
