Military Families Can Save on Leisure Travel With “Government Vacation Rewards”

 

Traveling is one of my favorite things to do, but the fees associated with memorable experiences can be downright expensive. I would scour various sites searching for the best deals and while there are some good ones out there, I still felt like I was paying an arm and a leg. Frankly, I was exhausted with the whole process. But as frustrating as it was, there is light at the end of the tunnel, thankfully.

Step in G​overnment Vacation Rewards​ (GVR). If you are you paying full price for things like airfare and hotels like I was, then this is just what you need. GVR is a travel discount program specifically designed with military in mind. Active duty, retired, veterans, military families, government employees and civilian contractors are eligible to use GVR.

They provide travel deals at wholesale rates saving you money on what you would be spending retail prices. And because they provide special pricing not available to the general public, you have to be a member. Don’t be fooled though. There’s no hidden loop. Membership is FREE! It is also the only program that allows you to use the Military Star® Card to book travel needs – including airfare. So even if you can’t pay upfront for your dream vacation, know that you can pay for it over time.

Once you subscribe, you will have access to over 15,000 sought after destinations worldwide. I was surprised to find roundtrip airfare deals for as low as $111! Now that’s a reason to celebrate!

Here are some other deals to take advantage of:

• ­  You receive the best price guaranteed with military rates on hotels, cruises, resorts and

  more. They even price match!

• ­  There are no booking fees or blackout dates
• ­  You are able to share your savings with friends and family while also earning points
• ­  Here’s the best part, a portion of the proceeds support the Department of Defense MWR

  activities, the Wounded Warrior Program, Vacations for Veterans and Operation Comfort Warriors.

  Getting free vacations has never been easier. For every dollar spent, you earn reward points to use toward vacations. So you can work toward a free vacation just for booking airfare that you would have already been paying for. It’s a win­win! And you’ll be able to start out with points. Just for signing up, GVR will give you 2,500 reward points instantly, a savings of $150 to use toward hotels, cruises and much more. At just 20,000 points, you can receive vacations free like 3­day trips to Costa Rica, Florida and Las Vegas.

  Are you ready to start navigating this site with me and take your family on one of a kind vacations, without the hassle, stress or expense? I know I’m excited!

Enroll now in GVR for a chance to win a 7­Night Resort Stay (a $1,000 value) at a location/hotel of the winner’s choice based on inventory/availability. GVR will draw the winner and send the winner a 7­Night Certificate. This could be you so don’t wait!

Happy travels!
