  1. Here's another one for anyone that might have to fly to their port and can use Southwest.

     

    1) Sign up for Target red card (credit or debit)

     

    2) Purchase discounted secondary market gift cards (Target) from a gift card reseller. I use Raise.com or Cardpool.com most of the time but there are others out there.

    • Target discounted cards vary but should be between 4-8% off

     

    3) Register for a Target account and enter your red card as the default payment.

     

    4) Place Southwest gift cards into your cart. There may be a limit on how many gift cards you can purchase in one transaction but you can just do multiple transactions. Proceed to check out. Make sure your Red card is the default payment.

     

    5) Chose pay with a gift card. Enter and apply up to 4 gift cards at a time.

     

    6) You should see your 5% red card discount and NO taxes or shipping fees. Some have reported taxes being charged or the discount not showing. If that happened clear all your cookies/history and try again.

     

    This has to be done at Target.com in order to use the 5% redcard discount when paying with a gift card.

     

    Using this method, you can save anywhere from 8.8% - 12.6% (depending on your secondary market Target gift card savings) on your Southwest flight.

  2. Does anyone have any money saving tips for your Carnival cruises?

     

    I have a local grocery store that sells Carnival gift cards. They give you $.20 off per gallon of gas for every $50 in gift cards purchased (it's usually $.10 but they had a special a couple weeks ago). I purchased $1500 in Carnival gift cards to put towards my balance and in return, I get $6.00 off each gallon of gas, so that's basically 3 free tanks of gas.

     

    I also plan on using my Amex offer for $75 cash back on a $250 Carnival purchase.

     

    What else is out there? Let's get creative!
