You may learn something, too, at the “Smart planning for summer travel” Tweetchat on Tuesday, May 21.
From 2 to 3 p.m. EDT, representatives from Ally Bank will offer money-saving info and solicit travel tips from savvy consumers like, well, you.
I’ll be there, talking about a few of the frugal hacks I’ll be using for my trip to New York and Philadelphia in July: companion fares on Alaska Airlines, the Megabus, five days of house-sitting, and using discounted gift cards to buy meals, cold drinks and sunblock.
Not going anywhere this summer? Stop in anyway. You’ll likely learn something that you can use for holiday travel or a trip to someone’s graduation next June.
Hoping to win one of the two $100 Amazon gift cards to be awarded? To do so, you must:
- Be at least 18 years old and a resident of the United States or Canada (excluding Quebec)
- Follow @AllyBank during the chat
- RSVP with a comment and your Twitter handle at the above link
Seriously: If you don’t RSVP, you can’t win. So do it, already.
If you’ve never participated in a Tweetchat, let me assure you that the process is pretty simple: You answer questions that pop up or ask questions of your own. Follow hashtag #AllyMoneyChat, or follow along at Ally Bank’s TweetChat room.
The tweets are so fast and furious that it can be a little dizzying. But you get used to it. Trust me.
