25 Amazing Travel Hacks You Need To Know Right Now

10. Use online shopping portals to book car rentals or flights.

Because more often than not, these portals negotiate special deals with other travel partners.

9. Avoid car rental extension fees by renting the car an extra day or two if you think you'll need it.

This comes out cheaper than having to go back to the dealer for an extension.

8. Rent with the same car company all the time.

Because loyalty pays off. Usually via discounted rates or even rebates.

7. Rent a car off airport.

This is cheaper than having to get airport pickup because there are no airport fees to deal with.

6. After applying for a credit card with a hotel partner, ask another hotel to match the same status.

The hotel will do their best to do so because they would want you to book with them instead.

5. Get the platinum status with IHG when you apply for their credit card.

You’re most likely going to be rewarded a lot by IHG when you do so. One amazing perk is you get a free hotel night stay each year of the anniversary of your application.

4. Get a free Priority Pass Airport Lounge card from American Express Platinum.

This awesome priority pass can get you in over 850 airport lounges worldwide. Now, that’s what you call being prioritized. Thank you, American Express.

3. You also get free Global Entry when you're an American Express Platinum card holder.

Breeze through US Immigration in less than a minute with Global. Brilliant perk right there.

2. If you've traveled to Hong Kong more than four times in a year, you can apply for their eChannel.

You can now use the kiosk the next time you enter and possibly bypass the immigrations officer. You’ll need your frequent flyer card for this.

1. When applying for a visa to the PROC, check the multiple entry box.

Because it’s just the same price as that of a single entry visa. Get your money’s worth on this one.
