Discount coupons are to shopping in the USA as sausage is to mustard. They provide opportunities to save money whether you’re visiting the supermarket, dining at a fast-food joint, booking a hotel, or seeking admission to attractions. Simply download the venue’s app or follow their receipts and social media.

   USA Discount Coupons: Discounts, Deals, and Promo Codes

   In the days before mobile apps and social media, flyers filled racks at the front desk of every motel in the USA. They invited you to explore nearby attractions and often included a discount coupon for a ticket. Times have changed, and most of these discounts have moved to mobile apps or the internet.

   To secure a discount, it is beneficial to study the attraction’s website and mobile app and search for the coupon online.

   A significant number of hypermarkets operate loyalty programs, either through a code in the mobile app or, increasingly less often, through a plastic card. It’s worth signing up for these programs even if you’re only in the USA for a few days. For example, at Vons, a large portion of the inventory is redeemable on 1+1, 2+1 deals, etc.

   In fast-food restaurants, on the other hand, discounts are typically printed on the receipt. This can save money on your next visit.

   A hotspot for discount flyers is Las Vegas. Paying for attractions there without a discount is a waste of money.

2. Car Rental in the USA with Lowest Price Guarantee

   RentalCars.com, the world’s largest broker of car rentals, typically collaborates with most of the rental companies operating in each city. Thanks to its bargaining power, it can offer customers the guarantee of the lowest price and an excellent level of customer support at the same time.

   If you find a cheaper rental on another site, RentalCars will match the price.

4. The New York Pass: 100 Attractions in One Ticket

   If you’re in New York for at least four days and want to see as many attractions as possible, consider purchasing The New York Pass. This pass allows you to visit as many attractions as you can for one price. Choose from hundreds of participating attractions, including the Empire State Building, Top of the Rock, and One World Trade Center.

5. New York CityPass: Save Tens of Dollars on Tickets

   The New York CityPass is very similar to The New York Pass. In my experience, it’s worth considering for short stays in New York City of up to four days, or when you’re less inclined to visit one attraction after another. If you’re interested in seeing, say, the Empire State Building, Top of the Rock overlook, and any third attraction, you’ll already save dozens of dollars with it.

6. Admission to All USA National Parks for $80

   The America the Beautiful Annual Pass is the official product of the National Park Service, which allows you to visit all USA National Parks for $80. You simply buy the card at the first park you visit and it is valid for 12 months.

   The permanent America the Beautiful pass is not valid in State Parks. It is already worthwhile when traveling to two or three US National Parks.

   Save 15% when booking your selected accommodation on Hotels.com simply by registering on the site. Registration is free, you just need an email address.
