Hi ,

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are here, and this week is one of the best times to save on travel gear and travel bookings. I rounded up the Amazon products I use myself and added my favorite cashback tools. If you want to stretch your budget for your next trip, this is the week to do it.

Black Friday Cyber Monday Travel Specials I Recommend

These are three products I take on every trip. All three have Black Friday Cyber Monday pricing this week.

​UPack Backpack​

This lightweight backpack fits under most airline seats and has smart pockets that make it easy to use for city days or short flights.

​BAGSMART Compression Packing Cubes Set​

I’ve used these packing cubes for two years. My husband and I each have our own set in different colors. They compress well and keep everything organized, whether you pack for a cruise or an international trip.

​Portable Charger with Built-In Cables​

This is the charger I bring on every trip. The built-in cables make it easy to use without carrying extras, and it lasts through long travel days.

Featured Amazon Deals for Travelers

These categories offer strong Black Friday Cyber Monday discounts. I’ll share more inside the Facebook group.

How To Stack Even More Savings

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are ideal for stacking savings, and a few simple steps can make a big difference.

Use Rove for Travel Bookings

Rove offers cashback on hotels, rental cars, excursions, and more. Rates often rise during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so compare prices before booking. Sign Up for Rove Miles and get 500 bonus miles.

Activate Rakuten for Extra Cashback

Rakuten works with Amazon and many national retailers. Their Black Friday and Cyber Monday cashback rates are among the strongest of the year. The browser extension helps you automatically catch deals.

​Sign up for Rakuten and receive $50 credit. If you have an American Express Card that earns Membership Rewards (MR) connect the two.

Booking Travel This Week

If you’re planning trips for 2025, this is an ideal time to book excursions, hotels, and vacation rentals. Viator and Rakuten or Rove often stack well during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which can lead to strong savings.

​Excursions and Tours on Viator​

​Hotels on Booking.com​

​Vacation Rentals on VRBO​

​Hotels, Flights, Vacation Rentals, Cars on Expedia​

Combining these with Rakuten or Rove can make a noticeable difference, especially on larger bookings.

Travel Tip of the Week

If you’re booking travel this week, compare the final price after cashback. The cheapest option up front is not always the best value during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Until next time,
