First the offer: Save $100s, Spend $22
Okay, that’s not really a well-written offer, but these are students for chrissake. Here’s the thing though, this is one of the best offers you are going to find if you are an independent traveler. Assuming you are a student, young person, or a teacher (one way or another) you can get one of these cards for $22 and then save a truckload of money using STA Travel.
They have some pretty decent deals as it is, but when you have one of these cards you have access to their secret stash of low airfare deals. I’ve used this thing myself and one of the best things about it is that these airfares often allow you to book a stopover of any length while going from one major city to another. You’ll see when you get the card, but this means you can book two flights for the price of the longer one, and even that is heavily discounted if you qualify as a student or a teacher.
If you’ve never used STA Travel you should know that they have locations or affiliates all around the world. You’ll save money just on one trip, but if you are going traveling for a while this is a must.
