I have done no work this afternoon at all! ( I work for myself from home) Between reading Karen's TR and checking other threads ...the afternoon has just disappeared. And I had such good intentions..

The DIS is SUCH a time waster

Thanks Andona, have my appointment first thing Fri morning. Thinking the worst, it can only get better

I work for myself too and I was thinking the same thing at lunchtime. Karen's trip report has distracted me from the good intentions of work but i had clients is afternoon that made me get back on travk. Sometimes i Wish I had an IT department to block the dis in work hours, I don't so

Sometimes

I'll have everything crossed for you.

I'm going to call it quits too.

Been sneezing non-stop for the last 10 minutes. Hayfever season is upon us.

Marlea98 · 10-15-2012, 04:39 PM

This is probably more a question for AustralianKaren, but I thought I'd post it publicly in case it helps anyone else.

I read on the DW tips board about signing with KLM's flying blue program and you could get discounted rates through National car rentals with codes.

My question is, should I sign up for all of us or just for me? I doubt we'll fly KLM to the U.S but I guess you'll never know.

Totally agree! As well as the airlines, we're signed up with ALL the hotel membership programs ( Hilton, Priority Club, Starwood, Carlson, Accor et etc)

None of them cost a cent to join but so many times on this trip when we checked in we were given little gifts and perks or very cheap upgrades because we were a member of their hotel program.

This is the second post I've read about mousesavers today. I use to visit their website frequently years ago, but haven't checked in years. Time to sign up to their emails methinks!

CAR hire example
using a code from mousesavers my car hire this trip was $246 instead of $700....$150 instead of $400..both with budget/ intermediate size...

so i always consult them when booking cars....

Who did you hire your car through? I haven't booked ours yet and love the sound of those savings!

you go thru mousesavers..go to their discount page for cars and there is a list of codes...I just put in each code and see what deal is the best..

I found budget the best, and no vouchers etc needed.....takes a bit of time but well worth the savings...

Thanks Karen

We only need a car for a few days but any extra $ saved is extra to spend on shoes

Marlea98 · 10-15-2012, 08:32 PM

Thanks, Karen.

Okay. I've got Raddison, Carlson and Accor membership already (plus our Wyndham timeshare) and the one for the Value Inn chain. Can someone put together a list of all of the chains to sign up for if possible?
