Amy was able to fully fund an adult only Disney trip for her husband and herself in only 6 short months! She came up with some creative ways to earn extra money for her trip. We can all learn a thing or two from Amy!
I guess, I can say my story was described as “where there’s a will, there’s a way”. In April of 2017, my husband challenged me to pay for a 3 night 4 day stay at Disney World for just the two of us for our 15th Anniversary. I priced, & booked our adults-only trip through Kari O’dell, & the total was around $1300.00 for a stay at Pop Century, quick service dining, & memory maker. I will say, we paid out of pocket for airfare through Spirit, but we were able to fly the both of us for $200.00, & some change. We saved on paying for luggage by using bags we had purchased on a previous trip, that met “free personal item” requirements on Spirit.
For awhile, I had been saving up gift cards earned through Swagbucks, (Walmart via Disney) so making the $200.00 deposit was easy! Once I got the go-ahead, it was game on… (I work best under pressure). I began challenging myself to make at least 200 SB a day, which would give me a cash out approximately every 15 days. In addition to that, I would plan what meals I could from Ibotta deals, & try to get as many bonuses that I could through Ibotta. That often gave me $50.00 -$75.00 per month.
In addition to Swagbucks, & Ibotta, I sold my homemade cinnamon rolls for $10.00/doz, & let my neighbor’s dog out for extra revenue. There’s nothing like going on a trip, and knowing everything is taken care of, & knowing you did it with no debt. Now, onto the next trip!
(Thanks, Amy)
