This Secret Travel Hack Helps You Save Up to 50% on Warm-weather Winter Getaways Including Hawaii and Cancun

Nothing sounds quite as appealing as a trip somewhere with sunny, summer-like temperatures, especially after a period of cold weather and winter storms. While jetting off to a Caribbean island or a beach in Florida sounds like a dream getaway for many travelers, the price tag associated with these warm-weather destinations can often be less than ideal. Luckily, we found a travel hack that will take you somewhere tropical — without draining your bank account. 

If you’ve ever scrolled through the travel deals on Expedia, you may have noticed alerts for member prices and Expedia Rewards. As a member of Expedia Rewards, you’ll open up a world of perks and exclusive discounts on travel packages, starting with savings worth at least 10 percent on all eligible trips. Whenever you see a yellow member price tag, you can score deals on airfare, hotels, or car rentals — and sometimes all three. Plus, with each eligible trip you book, you’ll earn points that can be redeemed for future trips. And right now, Expedia is offering a selection of warm-weather getaway deals on hotels, packages, and flights with 20 percent or more in savings. 

Before you book that last-minute trip, scroll through some of the deals you can take advantage of as an Expedia Rewards member below. 

Puerto Rico Travel Deals

Expedia Rewards members receive 25 percent off nights at Puerto Rico’s Wyndham Palmas Beach & Golf Resort and 10 percent off bookings at Aquarius Vacation Club at Dorado del Mar, which one guest noted was “quiet and relaxing.” The Caribbean island’s temperatures range anywhere from 72 to 83 degrees Fahrenheit in February — the driest month of the year — so pack plenty of sunscreen if you plan to soak up the sun.

Cancun Travel Deals

An all-inclusive resort eliminates the need to find outside dining and entertainment options, while offering a convenient way to enjoy a sunny getaway. Expedia members save 20 percent off rooms at family-friendly Oleo Cancun Playa All Inclusive Boutique Resort, and up to 50 percent (depending on dates of travel) on reservations at Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort, which one visitor said had “so many amenities” along with “one of the best spas [they’ve] been to.”

According to one reviewer, the resort has “comfy bedding, [an] espresso machine, and a roomy bath and dressing area,” while another added that there are “beautiful views everywhere.”
