Holiday Travel Tips: 4 Hot Holiday Destinations

Every year, the travel industry sees a surge in travel around the holidays. Whether it’s to visit family, stay slope slide or to escape winter and take in a warm breeze for a change, people are packing their bags and hitting the road. Plus, more and more people are trading in the traditional family gatherings for something a little less conventional and a bit more exciting.

There are plenty of last minute travel destinations you can visit with (or without) your family this Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. To round out the end of the year and bring in the next, we have a few suggestions for your big travel plans, all of which can earn you Cash Back at Ebates.

Fort Lauderdale

Trade in the winter blues with a good dose of Vitamin D on the beaches of Fort Lauderdale. Get there for less with a flight from Virgin America and then book with Hotels.com to save on the hottest beachfront hotels. Sip mojitos by the beach or keep it poolside at what is sure to become your new favorite spot. Or book a vacation package from Expedia and settle your toes comfortably into the sand knowing you’re saving money and living it up.

Orlando

If you’re looking to keep your travel companions entertained and catch some rays, Orlando has plenty to offer. This travel destination is known as an entertainment hotspot. Universal Studios, Disney World and SeaWorld are just some of the big name locations you can visit during your stay. Best of Orlando has you covered for deals on your Orlando attractions and shows, as well as hotel savings. You can even lock in last minute travel deals on vacation packages through Priceline.

Los Angeles

Take your vacation to the west cost with this year’s hottest travel destination: Los Angeles. The City of Angels offers similar attractions like Disneyland and Universal Studios, but also boasts a few of its own like the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Santa Monica Pier. Travel sites like Travelocity and Expedia can get you to your Los Angeles oasis with extra savings in your pocket to enjoy them.

Denver

Turns out, not everyone wants to escape the Winter Wonderland once it gets cold. If you’re itching to hit the slopes, the decision to travel to Denver could end up saving you some money on your last minute travel as well. Orbitz awards the biggest savings on holiday travel this year to the Mile High City. Hotels and airfare are both seeing significant savings, especially with the help of travel sites like CheapTickets and CheapOair.

The Best Things to Buy in October at Great Bargains

Fall is in full swing and that means holiday deals are right around the corner. But you don’t have to hold your breath until Black Friday. One, that’s dangerous. Two, there are plenty of October deals you can take advantage of right now. Here’s our complete guide on what to buy in October to get the most out of your hard-earned moolah.

Halloween Costumes – Obviously, Halloween is the best time to buy costumes for the whole family (or for you and your Wolf Pack, however you like to get your ghoul on). But hold your horses just a tad and wait for the very last week of October to get the best savings of the month.
Cash Back Stores to Watch: Costume SuperCenter, Anytime Costumes.com, BuyCostumes.

Cars – New cars come out every September and by now, car lots are filled to the brim with 2016 models, giving 2015 models the spotlight in prime time clearance events. October is indeed the best time to buy a car.

Camping Gear – Only the most hardcore outdoor enthusiasts will dare to camp in the colder months. Be on the lookout for fantastic clearance on tents, hiking gear, sleeping bags and more to get a head start on next summer’s adventure planning.
Cash Back Stores to Watch: Backcountry, REI.

Patio Furniture – Again, this is another benefit to warm-weather goods becoming a tad less in demand. Get yourself an entire patio furniture set so you’re ready for next summer’s BBQs in a snap.
Cash Back Stores to Watch: Sears, Lowe’s.

Denim – Jeans are a big part of Back to School sales but they still seem to have lingering discounts to make for great October sales on designer and discount denim. Slip into your perfect pair at great prices this month!
Cash Back Stores to Watch: Lee Jeans, Wrangler.

HDTVs – If you’re waiting for Black Friday to buy a 55″ HDTV, stop right now. They are not predicted to drop any lower than they are priced right now since their demand is still going strong. The good news is that you can enjoy 1080p with Cash Back at Ebates sooner than later.
Cash Back Stores to Watch: Kmart, Crutchfield.

European Vacations – October officially marks the start of Europe’s off season, meaning you are now more likely to find cheap lodging. Added Perk: Less tourists crowding the streets mean you can meet more locals and get the real European experience.
Cash Back Sites to Watch: Expedia, Orbitz.

Pizza, Pizza, Pizza! – Order a ‘za or 10 during National Pizza Month this October and enjoy big savings. Some major pizza chains have been known to have BOGO specials, which means you can have one heck of a Halloween movie night and be able to feed all those horror hounds on a dime.
