6 ways
to save
money on
vacation
travels
6. Use Your UBA Card
Make payments with your UBA Card instead
of cash. Foreign currency conversion rates are
often poor compared to letting your card do it!
1. Plan
Ahead
Decide when and
where you want
to go well ahead
of time. You can save money by
avoiding peak travel
dates.
2. Research It
Learn about your planned
destination(s). Some locations
may be too
expensive or
un-ideal for
your vacation.
3. Budget It
Decide how much you
want spend. Vacations
abroad can be very
expensive especially during
holiday seasons. Do not spend beyond
your means and stick to
your budget.
4. Be an
Early Bird
Save money on air-tickets
and hotel reservations by
booking well ahead of time.
5. Be Deal-Wise
Shop for travel packages and deals. You may save a
fortune on some offers. However, be sure to read the
fine print.
Create a first line
charge on your
earnings or salaries
that goes straight into this
specially opened savings
or investment account.
This can be done by giving
a standing direct debit
order to your bankers.
Be disciplined.
This is required
to ensure that you never withdraw
from this account. You should make
up your mind that the money in this
special account is not part of your
salary or earnings. All your spending
should be restricted to what is left
of your salaries or earnings after this
deduction is made.
Open a UBA
target savings
account.
With a
target savings account,
you can actually put
some money aside in a
planned way for when
you will really need it.
