Thrifty Traveler is one of our favorite ways to find deal alerts, and it’s currently on sale at the cheapest prices all year.
For a limited time, new subscribers can get 50% off Premium membership using our special TPG code and link. Promotion ends on Tuesday, December 2nd at 11:59pm CST.
The best part about becoming a member is that you will receive emails about cheap cash offers on flights and/or hotel stays as well as some incredible points and miles offers. The sale reduces the first-year price of a flight deal from $99.99 to $49.99, or the first-year price of a flight and hotel deal from $149.99 to $74.99.
To take advantage of this offer, simply enter “THEPOINTSGUY” into the promo box, or use our link to skip entering the promo code entirely.
“From dirt-cheap cash fares to ultra-rare rewards for using points and miles to fly first and business class, Thrifty Traveler Premium finds deals from more than 200 airports across the U.S. and Canada than any other service,” the company said in a statement to TPG. “Members can customize alerts to get only deals from their home airport, all 200-plus cities, or anywhere in between.”
The service even gives you the option of instant text alerts for error fares and the rarest “unicorn” offers.
I personally have been using Thrifty Traveler Premium for years. In fact, this was one of the best points redemptions of my life: For just 73,100 SkyMiles plus $120 in taxes and fees, you could get a lie-flat Delta One seat from Los Angeles to Brisbane, Australia.
The only reason I knew about the rare availability of Delta SkyMiles was a flight deal subscription email I received early Saturday.
According to Thrifty Traveler, here are some of the offers it sends to subscribers:
