$50 gas cards help make a summertime getaway affordable Jun 30, 2008

From now through July 6th, Girlawhirl can book a three or more day stay through hotels.com and get a $50 gas card in return. If she does the MPG math, she can enjoy her Fourth of July holiday relaxing by a beach and be reimbursed for every dollar she doles out to fill her gas tank. She just has to enter code GAS50 under the “Your Reservation” field at booking.
But even if a last minute Pal comes through with a place to stay for the holiday weekend, Girlawhirl can still take advantage of the deal as long as she schedules her three-day-stay for any time before September 1st. Expedia.com is also running a promotion that awards a $50 gas card for a three day stay in participating hotels when travelers book using their MasterCard®. And this one is applied to travel through September 30th.
So Girlawhirl's planning one weekend road trip for sure. Now, it's time to decide on the destination.

Everyone's feeling the pinch of skyrocketing oil prices, and of course it directly translates to the price of gas. But that doesn't mean Girlawhirl wants to be chained to her apartment all summer long. She's trying to be creative with her finances – only allocating $50 for wardrobe refreshers like cute summer tops, and not spending too much on this summer's fashion essential: the gladiator sandal. She's also keeping her eyes and ears open for all kinds of vacation deals. And since hotels.com promises to foot the gas bill, she's not missing the opportunity to head to the beach this weekend…
