Do You Love Special Offers But Dislike The Junk Mail That Comes With It? Here Is The A Solution!

Do you love to get great travel offers and discounts from companies, but do not want your personal e-mail box filled with junk mail?  So do I! You can solve the problem by creating a mailbox just for travel offers.  Yahoo and Google, as well as many others, offer free e-mail addresses.  Why not set one up just for your travel information and sign up for offers with the new address.  You can then receive e-mail offers from Groupon, Living Social, Yipit, Jetsetters, airbnb, hotels, airlines, etc.  Check it at your leisure and never have excess mail in your personal e-mail account.

Here’s how!  Go to an e-mail provider, choose a unique name for your travel address, such as “vickitravel@provider.com” and sign up for a new e-mail address.  Bookmark the site.  When you sign up for special offers, use only this e-mail address.

You can also create folders in the left column of the mailbox which allows you to identify purchased travel or mail you want to keep for reference. I have ten years of travel documents in my travel folders. I name each folder with the place and date of the trip.  Each folder serves as a great reference when I want to recall where we stayed or how much I paid for a hotel or airline ticket.   It also serves to separate the documents from each trip.  When you receive an e-mail confirmation, just move it to the folder you have identified for that trip. When you find a travel site you love, or if you make travel arrangements, use your travel e-mail address and never receive junk mail in your personal inbox.
