Getting 50% Discounts by Jeffrey Strain

If you are one of those people who want the discounts that coupons provide, but don't have the time or patience to go around collecting them, the Entertainment Book may be just what you have always been looking for. For those who eat out and attend events in their local area, there is absolutely no reason not to invest in one of these books since all the coupons come already compiled within it. These books contain thousands of dollars worth of restaurant, shopping, leisure activities, hotel and travel savings for specific cities around the nation. Each book also offers national coupons that can save you big money on such expenses as rental cars and airplane tickets. Individual city coupon book prices range from $25 to $45 depending on the particular city desired.

Each book is developed around a major city or area with the saving coupons focused on that area's dining and entertainment. While many people purchase the books for the savings they receive in the area where they live, it is often worthwhile purchasing a book for any area you plan to visit for more than a few days. Since when you travel, you're usually dining out and visiting the tourist attractions of the city you're visiting, it rarely takes more than a day for the book to pay for itself.

One of the most popular aspects of each book is the 50% discount on over 5,000 hotels around the nation. A stay for a night or two at any of these participating hotels will enable you to recoup your investment. Simply locate a hotel in the city where you'll be traveling, then call or fax the hotel directly to see if there are any rooms available at the programs 50% discounted rate (at most participating hotels, if the occupancy rate is less than 80%, the half-price rate will be available) for the dates you want to stay. If the hotel does, you make your reservations, show your membership card when you check-in and pay half-price when you check out.
