You likely know that we are BIG fans of TripAdvisor’s travel bargain site SniqueAway (you can read our review here), as we personally used them to save a bundle on our last two vacations and our experience was EXCELLENT.  Backed by the credibility of our favorite travel review site, TripAdvisor.com, SniqueAway offers limited-time sales and deep discounts on some fantastic 4 & 5-Star rated hotels around the world, with savings typically from 40-60% OFF.

Through SniqueAway’s sale, hotel rates at Eilan Hotel Resort & Spa start at $139 a night and there are dates available now through the end of March (perfect if you are looking for a holiday get-away or want to see the famous Riverwalk Christmas lights in San Antonio).  This is also a convenient spot to stay if you are planning to take the family to SeaWorld or Fiesta Texas in the Spring.

To Get The Deal:

Go here to sign-in to SniqueAway (or become a member for FREE), then navigate to The Eilan Hotel Resort & Spa deal.  Tip:  Be sure to look for a diamond-shaped icon on the dates when you peruse the available options on the calendar ~ the diamond icon means those dates feature the lowest sale price.

Popular dates often sell out quick.  If you intend to take advantage of this deal, you won’t want to wait too long as it’s only available on SniqueAway for 3 more days and popular dates tend to sell out fast (offers are on a first come, first serve basis).

Looking for a way to enjoy our local attractions over spring break at a nice savings? You might want to check out DFW Attractions Passes.  This was put together for visitors to our area, but locals can take advantage of this too!

Here’s the scoop:

  • There are four specialty pass theme choices with each creating a savings of up to 30% OFF general admission to several popular venues like Six Flags, Children’s Aquarium in Dallas, Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza,  and the Fort Worth Science and History Museum.
  • You have 180 days to use the pass once it is activated, so even if you don’t get to all the venues this week, you can save it to use for a fun family weekend or summer activity.  Each pass is activated the first time it’s used.

The attractions savings passes include: 

  • All About Kids Pass – Includes the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, the Fort Worth Historic Stockyards Experience, Children’s Aquarium at Fair Park, Dallas Zoo,  and SpeedZone. Prices are $71 for adults and $54 for children ages 3-12.
  • Art Attack Pass – Includes a bevy of museums, sculptures and artistic experiences, including the Dallas Museum of Art, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, and the Nasher Sculpture Center. Prices are $21 for adults and FREE for children ages 3-12.
  • DFW Sampler Pass – Includes admission to the Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas Zoo, Fort Worth Historic Stockyards Experience, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, Southfork Ranch and the International Bowling Museum. Prices are $58 for adults and $28 for children ages 3-12.
  • Thrillseeker Pass – Offers discounted admission to Zero Gravity, SpeedZone, Six Flags Over Texas, and Ripley’s Believe It or Not. Price is $139 per person.

To view all participating attractions in each pass, go here.

Savings Tip: These passes are a great deal if you are going to make it to all the venues on the pass before it expires.  However, if you aren’t sure you’ll be able to take advantage of visiting all the spots, you might be better off looking for coupons and discounts for each venue.

Enjoy and share! :)

FREE! A Special Invitation to Join SniqueAway Bargain Travel Site (Plus a Review of Our Experience)

Posted on February 16, 2012 | Leave a comment

Bookmark and Share

TOP RATED HOTELS + FANTASTIC BARGAINS + FREE MEMBERSHIP = SNIQUEAWAY TRAVEL SITE

I love a great deal, and I love to travel ~ So, I’m excited to pass-along an invitation to you from Frugal in Fort Worth and Trip Advisor to become a member (FREE) of Snique Away, Trip Advisor’s NEW travel bargain site (and I do mean bargain!!!).

Backed by the credibility of TripAdvisor.com, SniqueAway offers limited-time sales and deep discounts on some fantastic 4 & 5-Star rated hotels around the world, with savings typically from 40-60% OFF.  The hotel sales change weekly and span a wide range of travel tastes and budgets.  Membership to Snique Away is FREE, but you have to be invited to join (and you are officially invited by Frugal in Fort Worth!)

What kinds of bargains should you expect? This week Snique Away features sales for top-rated hotels in Whistler ~ Canada, New York ~ NY, Bagshot ~ England (pack me in your bags, please), and Summerville ~ South Carolina. If you want to plan a little “stay-cation”, they even have a great special this week for the historic Adolphus in Dallas ~ $89 for their Deluxe Room through SniqueAway (I looked at Adolphus’ website and this same room is going for $174 there, today).

Sign up & join here (FREE)!

Learn more about SniqueAway, here or keep reading for a longer review of our experience with SniqueAway (and why we like it so much!). 

______________________________

      

My personal experience with SniqueAway

A few months ago, I was sent a private invitation to join SniqueAway.  To be candid, when I received this invitation, I was a bit skeptical about what it was. I didn’t want to unknowingly sign up as a target for one of those annoying time-share deals with all the high-pressure sales riff-raff (pretty much like gum on the shoe).  Plus, the austere pre-member-sign-in web design and invitation-only aspect made it impossible to preview & peruse the website to make sure this was something I was truly interested in (hopefully this review will make it much easier for you). 

After doing quite a bit of research and watching and comparing various travel offers, I am happy to say that I am very comfortable recommending SniqueAway to my readers. It is an easy, easy way to find unheard of deals on some of the best hotels in the world.  It turns out it is part of one of my favorite travel opinion sites, Trip Advisor (read here and here for a nice overview).  In fact, the only hotels featured on SniqueAway are ones that have been highly rated by readers like you and me on TripAdvisor.com ~ ratings from folks who have actually stayed at these hotels and share their opinions, both pros & cons.

This got my attention. For the last few years, Trip Advisor has been the first site I go to and one of the most credible opinion-sites when I’m selecting hotels, restaurants, and travel activities for new places (not to mention it has been great for fresh entertainment & restaurant ideas for Fort Worth).  I’m officially a fan of SniqueAway, and wanted to make sure my readers had a chance to take advantage of their free membership & travel bargains, too!

What to expect when you sign up with SniqueAway 

Once I signed up, I started receiving 1 email per week featuring about 5 hotel bargain deals from around the U.S. and across the world (plus a sneak preview at hotel deals that would be offered the following week). The offers are on a first come, first serve basis, lasting up to seven days or until sold out.

Since you will not be able to view these bargains until you sign up, I’m adding a screen capture below so you can get an idea of what you’ll see on a typical hotel bargain offer (you can see from the example below on the Dallas Adolphus, the price range goes from a pretty affordable deluxe room to luxurious suite options).

You’ll also notice that there is a Trip Advisor review tab (found on every hotel deal listing) where you can link to and read corresponding hotel reviews, providing quick insight into the experiences of other travelers and how they view the hotel.

HOW IT WORKS

1.  Sign up with this invitation. There is no cost to join the members-only service, but a private invitation is required.  As a reader of Frugal in Fort Worth, you are officially invited (Go here)!

2.  Check out the weekly hotel deals. Once you’re a member, there are always deals available on SniqueAway, with 3-5 new sales added Mondays at 1PM CST.

  • Members are notified via email of each week’s hotel deals, with offers on a first come, first serve basis, lasting up to seven days or until sold out. Members can preview future hotel deals seven days in advance and can set up a reminder for alerts when sales start.
  • After members receive and accept the invitation, they can check out photos and property overviews of the hotel offers. Inside every SniqueAway Escape there are TripAdvisor reviews, hotel amenities, room details—even local hot spots and location maps.
  • All hotels featured on SniqueAway have earned at least a four-star rating classification and four out of five review ratings on TripAdvisor.

3. Select and book your room.  Enter room type, check-in/check-out dates and click “Select.” Enter traveler information and any special requests for the hotel. From the time dates are selected, members have 15 minutes to click “Book it!” or the room(s) will be returned to inventory. All taxes and fees are included unless otherwise noted in the policies.

4.  Confirm, pack your toothbrush, and enjoy!  Upon booking, members receive a confirmation email from SniqueAway. All guests need at check-in is the hotel confirmation number and a credit card for any hotel purchase not included within the SniqueAway escape.

Sign up & join here (FREE)!

Enjoy and Share! :)

REMINDER: FREE $25 Credit from SniqueAway Expires December 26, 2011.

Posted on December 12, 2011 | Leave a comment

Bookmark and Share

Don’t forget! If you received and plan to use the $25 Anniversary credit from SniqueAway bargain hotel site, you’ll need to use it in the next couple of weeks (since it expires December 26th).

If you are hearing about this deal for the first time (glad you have joined us!): pop over to our independent review and learn about our personal experience with SniqueAway (and why we like it so much!).   It’s too late to get this $25 credit, but if you set up a free SniqueAway account, you’ll get access to their deep discounts on 4 & 5-Star rated hotel and travel deals that change out weekly (like this $99 golf/lake resort deal that caught our eye in Lake Conroe, TX):


We are seriously considering using our $25 credit towards this week’s Lake/Golf/Spa Resort deal at Lake Conroe’s La Torretta ~40% OFF ($99 night – $25 Credit = $74) on SniqueAway. It looks like a great family get-away from Fort Worth (about a 4 hour drive) and there are dates available through March.  I noticed that is has received the 4-Diamond Travel Award stamp of approval from AAA  and has a long list of amenities available:

  • Aqua Park with 5 pools and Lay-Z River and beach
  • 18-hole golf course
  • Lake Marina with Fishing, kayaking and water-skiing
  • Miniature golf course, putting greens, driving range
  • Children 5 and under eat free in Prime Restaurant.
  • Spa with Yoga, Pilates and spin studios
  • Tennis center with 5 hard-surface tennis courts
  • Do note that many of the above activities are included for hotel guests, but some (like golf and boat rental) require an extra fee.

SniqueAway has been offering lots of deep discounts on other dreamy hotels and locations too.  Go here to see this week’s line-up of discount winter and spring vacation spots (including great hotels in New York City, Santa Fe, Sonoma, Chicago, Lake Tahoe and even Fiji!).

Enjoy and Share (and pack me in your bags, please)!    :)
