Look At The Financial Carnivals Galore, Are You Included?

Two of the major carnivals and festivals that I read on a daily basis are the Carnival of Debt Reduction and the Festival of Frugality, and both have new versions up this week. First up this week was the 100th Carnival of Debt Reduction hosted over at No Credit Needed. My series about digging out of credit card debt was included, and here is the link to the first post of the series. Some articles from other sites that I found useful are:

Heading To Sea World? How About Saving 20% On Tickets?

Since my wife’s mom is in town, we have of course been exploring Southern California. The other day we went to Sea World in San Diego and since tickets are $57 each to get in, I wanted to see if I could find any kind of discount online before we went. Searching for these magic discounts turned out to be a little adventure, jumping from place to place to see where I could get the most off the ticket price. Although AAA, The Entertainment Book and a few other places did offer 5-10% off admission, I found that the biggest discount came from Southwest Airlines! If you are a Rapid Rewards member, you can get 20% off the ticket price just by showing your Rapid Rewards card. Don’t have one? No problem…just sign up on the site, print out your temporary membership card and bring it with you. Sure enough, 20% off for all three of us, saving us $34.20 on the tickets. I wasn’t a Rapid Rewards member before the other day, but it looks like I am now.

So it has been a month now since we started this little adventure. And hopefully by now you have gotten your payment schedule set up so you are (or will be) paying twice a month on the card with the lowest balance and paying the minimum on the rest of the cards. I hope you have also called the credit card companies and asked for interest rate reductions; I got quite a few emails from readers proclaiming success and disbelief that the cc companies actually reduced their rates, even if only by a little bit. When you are in debt, every little bit certainly does help!

If you are in an area covered by Comcast, you might want to look into this. I have found that packaging my telecom needs does not save me money, but with a deal like this, it might be worth looking into. For only $99 a month plus taxes, you get internet, phone and cable AND you get $335 cash back. The offer ends August 15th so get moving if you want in on this deal.
