Online Auctions and Travel Bargains
There are several reasons why you may want to look at Auctions when considering vacation plans.
1. You know the information is current. Most Online Auctions run 7 days. 10 days at the most.
2. Bargains. Because most people don't think of looking at online auctions for travel deals, the number of bidders is frequently low.
3. You can sometimes find desperate sellers. Sometimes people book their flights, cruises, vacation packages, etc. well in advance. But something happens where they need to cancel and can't get a refund. (could be financial, illness in the family, job situation that came up, anything). You can solve that person's problems and get a hefty discount.
4. Bed & Breakfasts, Hotels, and other lodging establishments will sometimes deeply discount rooms at certain times, rather than have the room go empty.
5. Options, while you won't have the options like a travel site or agent would, you may find places to go you may not have considered or bargains at places you would have gone anyway.

Try Auctions for Discount Vacation Bargains
An often overlooked source of travel bargains is online auctions.
You can find fabulous deals on Romantic Getaways, Timeshares, Cruises, Vacation Rentals, Bed & Breakfasts, Airlines, Vacation Packages with Air, Vacation Packages without Air.
Some will be from resorts themselves. Some will be airline vouchers that have an expiration date that people want to sell because they can't use them in time. Some will be Vacation Packages sold as fund raisers from non-profit agencies.
The cheapest ones will be from companies which require you to attend a 90 minute Timeshare sales meeting (often these can be high pressure things -- you may want to leave your credit card and check book elsewhere).
With auction sites you can check the Feedback Rating of the seller and read the feedback from other buyers (highly recommended you do that).

Free Vacation Hotel Accommodations
Get 3 days 2 nights in one of over 80 great travel destinations.
Why is it free?
They claim that: "Hotels are not always able to book all of their rooms, and vacant rooms bring in NO revenue. Putting travelers in those otherwise vacant rooms for free brings in revenue in other ways, such as room service, hotel restaurants, shops, pay-per-view television, phone charges, etc. It actually costs a hotel more money to leave a room vacant than it does to give it away for FREE. We work with some of the world's leading consolidators who contract with major hotel chains to put travelers in those rooms that would otherwise remain vacant."
Is it really free? You do have to pay a $1.87 processing fee. And you are responsible for any taxes, room service charges, and any other incidental expenses incurred once you have checked into your room. Transportation to and from your desired destination is not included.
You also need to book at least 45 days in advance and avoid peak travel times.
