Of course, dads can use these tips too!

I was really surprised by some of these tips, offered by MommyPoints.com founder Summer Hull.

One note: the video starts repeating the segment at the 6:35 mark.

All of these tips are practical ways to earn travel points and save cash that can be added to your family’s travel fund:

1. Use the shopping portals on your favorite airline’s website to earn travel miles.
2. Do your grocery shopping when the most reward points are offered (Summer earned 150 points for a single purchase equaling a free round trip fare at the end of the year!)
3. Use smartphone apps like Poachit to make sure you’re not overspending on holiday or every day items (make sure you talk to the manager before you leave to see if they’ll price match.)
4. Look for price protection or “price rewind” deals available through your credit cards (this is a super tip for anyone who uses credit cards to make purchases.)

What did you all think about the free $6,000 Winter Wonderland vacation the family claims to be taking for free based on the advice from MommyPoints?
