Let's face it; Milton Friedman correctly asserted that, "There is no such thing as a free lunch." They say time is money, and the amount of time we dedicate to this site, time that could otherwise be spent with the family, is astronomical. We have to pay for custom development; we have to pay for domain registration and hosting; we have monthly bandwidth restrictions and often find ourselves paying for more bandwidth to ensure the site stays open once we reach that limit. In short, we have a lot invested into ensuring that this community flourishes.

Our goal is to keep the BidLessTravel Priceline community free to all members! To this end, there are a number of ways you can support BidLessTravel.com:

• Donate Money: We're not expecting you to donate thousands of dollars to ensure this community thrives! Instead, we are simply asking for a nominal donation, perhaps $1 or $2, whenever you use our services to say money on your Priceline hotels, rental cars, flights, and anything else travel-related. If save $40 on a Priceline hotel, please consider making a small donation to the BidLessTravel community. All revenues go back into the site and our goal is to one day buy our own server to host the community, thereby saving us a lot of money over time.



• Donate Time: We spent an inordinate amount of time maintain the site; from site development, to maintaining the Priceline bid database, to babysitting in the forums, answering questions, searching for hot travel deals, etc. We need your help! If you are interesting in contributing deals or moderating the forums or even blogging helpful information that would benefit the BidLessTravel community, please contact us and give us a hand!



• Link-Through BidLess: We have a number of affiliates that help support the site by providing us with exclusive travel coupons and codes; if you use any of these sponsors, please consider linking through our site to their. So, for example, if you searched the Priceline bid database, formulated your Priceline bid strategy based on information provided by BidLessTravel, simply click through one of our affiliate links before you make your purchase. Every $.25 helps ensure that the community remains free!



• Tell-a-Friend: Word-of-mouth is perhaps one of the most powerful marketing tools in the world; tell your friends, your family, your co-workers; tell you golf buddies and relatives and anyone else you think could benefit from the BidLessTravel community. Help us grow the community and ensure our doors stay open long into the future. The say build it and they will come. However, that is not always the case on the Internet!
