A savvy woman revealed a straightforward tip that's saved her "thousands of pounds" while holidaying abroad, and it's gone viral on . Anna, known as annathingbutanimals on social media, claimed she's "done gatekeeping", expressing the need to share this -saving advice. In her TikTok video, she referred to the trick as her "biggest travel hack" that's helped her pocket "thousands of dollars".
The blogger was surprised that so few people have discovered this clever hint, especially useful while lodging in airbnbs. Her trick entails saving the contact details of every airbnb host you stay with. Regardless of the duration since your stay, Anna emphasised it's important to never delete the numbers, as they'll definitely be beneficial in the future.
Having the right contacts seems to matter. During the clip, she said: "Some of these people, I kid you not, will have like 30 properties, and they would so much rather rent it to somebody they know. Every time I'm going somewhere I go through my Rolodex, I look okay, 'who do I know there?' "And I'm like 'Hey, it's Anna.
I stayed in your Airbnb on blah, blah, blah - absolutely loved it. Coming to whatever this time, was wondering if you had anything during this time?'" She continued: "And then whatever the list prices, whatever the price they give you, you say 'hey, can I give you 70% of that if I pay you in cash?' "If it's off-season, or last minute, you can even go lower. It has never not worked for me.
I think I've saved $500 (£393.3.
