Snique Away

More and more we are seeing sites that offer coupons on just about everything.  There is Village Vines for premium dining, Groupon for well…many of your needs, Vacationist and now we have Snique Away, brought to you by the media group who put together Trip Advisor.   What is their angle?  Let me share. 

Snique Away is the new private sale travel experience that offers deals to a limited number of members.  There is no fee to join however you must have an invite.  (I am a member of Trip Advisor so I assume that is how I got my invite)  They offer members’ deals on luxury hotels that have 4 and 5 star ratings or the equivalent and have the highest rating in Trip Advisor reviews.  I use Trip Advisor a lot for cross-referencing and they are really pretty accurate.  Most of the stuff I have looked at offers dates from the time the deal starts until about 2 to 3 month out.  The majority of the hotels on there have been within the US, but I am starting to see a few international hotels creeping in.  They are pretty new so I am assuming their spectrum will broaden within the coming months.  The prices are really good on some of this stuff.  I wouldn’t hesitate to join.

If you like to travel then you should be signing up for some of these new discount travel sites.  Vacationist is great and now this one from Trip Advisor.  From what I can see, both are offering fantastic deals on some pretty amazing hotels.  Why not spend even a night or two somewhere that would normally be out of your budget for a fraction of the price?  Living in luxury isn’t so bad, especially when you get a deal on it.  Now that’s what I call a great vacation.

Need an invite.  Send Susan and Skye your email and we will invite you as an Undies guest.  Email us at: dontforgetyourundies@gmail.com

Groupon free mobile apps

Groupon, if you haven't heard of it, is a fantastic concept.  When you sign up (for free) you will get daily emails about all sorts of deals in your city.  They have everything from restaurants, to spas, gym memberships, classes of all sorts and lots more.  It varies as to how much you get off, but I find it tends to be around 50% off, sometimes more sometimes less.  Great deal, right?  They have participating cities all over the world so if you are going on vacation you can sign up to get the San Francisco deals or the London deals.  Coming to NYC?  Sign up!  You can save both at home and on vacation.  Now that's awesome!  With all this money I am saving, I can plan another vacation.

Today they announced their free mobile apps for Android, Blackberry and iphone.  This comes with a special offer.  For every different groupon you purchase with your phone app, you will get $1 of groupon bucks, on purchases through February 17th, 2011.  (groupon bucks is money that you can use towards a future groupon purchase).  So now you can purchase and redeem your groupon deals from anywhere and get money towards a future purchase.  Saving is becoming easier by the minute.
