What saving have you accidentally stumble across

[Thecouch]

Like the title says what savings have you accidently found .

In april we made some changes to our booking after finding a good discount at Caribbean for 4 nights (avg $164 a night ) we added a couple nights at another AOM after that with award points . We had one night to book at the start of the trip and rang disney and they suggested just adding one extra night at Caribbean so we didnt have to change . I asked if there is any deals she ended up booking for me that night as ticketless dining plan (we had tickets from UK ) for just one night . So for $75 and $28 for just one day we got refill mug for 7 nights $19 each , arkeshus character breakfast ($52/32) 2nd day ,shared 2 flame grill samplers for $19 first night , most snack credits were used at epcot flower booths for lunch 2nd day $5-9 , plus a few more adult meals with remaining quick service credit .. end up being almost $200 better off then paying out of pocket I would consider booking similar next trips with one night at start booked separately as ticketless dining package .

I researched rental cars until I was bleary-eyed. I was so sick of looking at cash back sites, different rental companies and comparing car sizes.
Finally, I settled on a deal for a one week rental for $339. Just before I put in my credit card offer I remembered an email my husband had sent me several months earlier about discount rates for employees. Same car, different company ended up at $219.

found out my credit card w/the highest rewards for 'fuel' considers propane as being in that category. we spend on average $1000 a year for our propane tank so instead of writing out a check to the provider i charged it and turned around and wrote the check to the credit card instead- that's a nice few bucks saved.

jumping from direct tv to dish. they were sending me offers for months but i was waiting for game of thrones to end. saving about $75 a month and getting a $300 visa gift card.

When cancelling my car insurance - but still have other policies with the provider discovered they have a range of benefits for customers including discounted gift cards. Some are for supermarkets - so now I purchase the card first get 5% off then purchase my groceries. I have been banking the difference into another account to see how much I can save. DS also gets staff discount at one of the supermarkets so if I take him shopping with me, we can save 10% on a shop. Have saved just over $100 in 2 months.
