Don’t throw that junk mail out. There might be discount airline tickets in there.

by kellys on June 8th, 2006

Anybody looking for a great deal without looking for one?  Confused? So was I until I stumbled across a hidden deal on airline tickets.  Do you ever actually go through your junk mail?  You know what I am talking about - all those flyers you get with all kinds of coupons for stuff you will never use like gutter cleaning or electric toothpicks.  I get what is called Val-Paks all the time.  I usually thumb through them in case I can get a Chick-fil-a coupon or something like it that I can use and then throw the rest away.  Well turns out, there are hidden gems in there so be careful.  So far this year, I have received 3 coupons in the mail like that, 2 from Northwest Airlines and one from Delta.  They give discount tickets to any region in the US and Canada for around $200 or less.  My aunt used hers one time to get cheap tickets to Finland.  I gave 2 sets away and we used one set to go home to see my family in Missouri last weekend.  There are usually some restrictions like a required Saturday night stay and if you travel on a Tuesday or Wednesday, it is even cheaper.  The moral of this story is not to take for granted all that junk mail you so quickly throw away.  Go through it a little more carefully and if you can’t use the discount, send them to me, I am always willing to go home.
