Save money on the honeymoon

1 tip on this task  |  Tweet

1) Get your guests to pay for the honeymoon
If you already live with your partner, don’t just ask them for slightly upgraded versions of the cutlery and toaster you already have and that work perfectly well.

Ask them to instead contribute towards the cost of your honeymoon and with a bit of luck you’ll get it for free! You can do this formally by setting up an account with a travel agent, or informally by asking for cheques.

2) Go off season
It costs a fortune to go on holiday during the school holidays. Why not save a fortune by going off for your honeymoon when it’s a bit cheaper, in the weeks either just before or after the summer holidays?

3) Use Airmiles
There are loads of ways to build up your collection of Airmiles, from collecting Tesco Clubcard points, to using eBay or trading in your old mobile phone. And it can make a massive difference to just how much you fork out for your flights.

4) Use a cashback credit card
If you don't want to go down the Airmiles route when booking your honeymoon, why not use a cashback credit card instead? You can get upwards of 1% of the money you spend on the break - you are spending that money anyway, so it makes sense to try and get some money back for your expenditure!
