Lineweaver client Bruce Motko is a great believer in travel – and traveling as reasonably as possible! When Bruce was last in, he shared some of these great travel tips, and we thought that many of our other clients would enjoy them as well. “For the very frugal on airfare,” Bruce says, try Spirit Airlines--known for its “bare bones” approach (you pay for everything) but savings can be substantial. If you’re flexible and read all the “fine print” (ask someone who has flown Spirit) you can save money. He recommends you start by signing up (free) at Spirit.com to get weekly deals. You can join their $9 Fare Club, which costs $59.95 annually (and does, he notes, automatically renew if not canceled). While he concedes that there is a bit of up-front cost, he goes on to say that it pays for itself after one trip - plus gives the same discounts for everyone booked on your reservation. At the same time, he recommends applying for the Spirit Mastercard (which has no fees for the first year, and annual fees of $59/year thereafter), which you can cancel anytime. For signing up, you’ll receive a BONUS 15,000 miles after your first purchase of anything, good for FREE travel (with fees) to many destinations, although he does advise that you read program rules for limitations and best travel dates. Enjoy your travels, and Bruce reminds us, “Don’t be afraid to say ‘hi’ to a fellow traveler - you never know wher
