Go BIG or Go Home
What Happens When A Small-Town Family Visits The "World's Largest"... Whatever!

A “Get to Know Alamo” Giveaway!

**THIS GIVEAWAY OFFER IS NOW CLOSED.**

I spend an inordinate amount of time planning the GBOGH family’s travel, and while I love doing it, I’m always looking for ways to simplify the process! Alamo recently contacted me about its revamped website, and I’m now a fan of its new features, such as the Alamo Deal RetrieverSM tool, and the Alamo Insiders loyalty program. And – woo hoo – Alamo is working with us this week to give away a BIG prize pack to help spread the word!

When Alamo – part of the world’s largest car rental network — re-launched its website, it added the Alamo Deal Retriever system so you can find the best Alamo car rental deal with one click. It searches all valid Alamo deals and coupons on the web to find the best rates to meet your specific needs.

Of course, I tried it out myself. We’re thinking about spending spring break in Myrtle Beach, SC, so I plugged in the dates, and got info on five featured deals, offering either a discount on a set number of days, or a free car upgrade. An additional 10% discount is available if you join the Alamo Insiders program. I think joining (at no cost) is worth it for that perk alone!

To celebrate its new offerings, Alamo is offering one GBOGH reader this fantastic “Get to Know Alamo” prize pack, valued at $206.

Try Alamo's New Deal Retriever

 

The kit includes:

  • $50 AMEX Card (not pictured)
  • Kindle 6”
  • Colby 7” Portable DVD Player (not pictured)
  • Hasbro Travel Connect 4
  • Hasbro Travel Battleship
  • Alamo Lynx Sport Back
  • Alamo 10oz Wake-Up Coffee Mug
  • Alamo Carabineer Sanitizer with Moisture

I was sold as soon as I saw the Connect 4 game. We’re fierce Connectors in this house!

There are a lot of unique, intuitive features on the new Alamo.com. When you’re making a reservation, you can add-on items like car seats (Step Two), you can upgrade (Step Four), and you can “See Your Savings” in every step of the process.

Here’s your chance to win! By entering your name below you agree to the Official Rules of this giveaway.

    As an Alamo Insider I love the deal Retriever.
    It makes planning a vacation for my family so much easier and helps me to save money that I can use to do other things with my children while we are on vacation.
