Thrifty Traveler is one of our favorite ways to find deal alerts, and it’s currently on sale for the cheapest price of the year.
For a limited time, new subscribers can get 50% off a premium membership using our special TPG code and link. The sale ends at 11:59 p.m. CST on Tuesday, Dec. 2.
The best part of membership is you’ll receive emails about cheap cash deals — and some incredible points and miles bargains — on airline tickets and/or hotel stays. This sale reduces the $99.99 price to $49.99 for the first year for flight deals, or from $149.99 to $74.99 for flight and hotel deals.
To take advantage of this deal, just enter “THEPOINTSGUY” in the promotional box, or use our link to skip entering promo codes altogether.
“From dirt-cheap cash fares to ultra-rare award availability to fly first and business class with points and miles, Thrifty Traveler Premium finds deals from more than 200 airports in the U.S. and Canada — more than any other service,” the company said in a statement to TPG. “Members can tailor their alerts to get deals only from their home airport, all 200-plus cities, or anything in between.”
The service even lets you opt into instant text alerts for mistake fares and the rarest “Unicorn” deals.
I’ve personally used Thrifty Traveler Premium for years. In fact, it’s how I scored one of the best points redemptions of my life: a lie-flat Delta One seat from Los Angeles to Brisbane, Australia, for just 73,100 SkyMiles plus $120 in taxes and fees.
The only reason I knew about that rare Delta SkyMiles availability was because of a flight deal subscription email I got early one Saturday.
According to Thrifty Traveler, here are a few of the deals it has sent to subscribers:
