Thrifty Thursday: How Does 50% Off Your Hotel Stay Sound to You?

Thursday July 9, 2009

Two hotels in Washington, D.C., Carlyle Suites and Savoy Suites, are offering a special deal this summer: For every five hours of documented community service you perform with your kids, you'll get 50% off a night's stay in their hotel. One of the neat things about the program, too, is that you can perform the community service at an organization of your choosing--right in your own neighborhood.

In fact, if this deal is something you plan to take advantage of, I'd recommend scheduling your trip around the tax-free shopping dates in D.C. or Virginia, so you can save on back-to-school shopping at the same time!

In addition, share your own money-saving vacation tips by participating in the "Readers Respond" feature, What Are Your Best Budget Vacation Ideas? or by leaving a comment below.
