It seems kind of bizarre that this isn't common knowledge, but apparently you can pick up some significant discounts just because you're on vacation. All you have to do is stop into a particular retailer and ask them if they offer a discount card for travelers.


Personal Finance blog Main Street suggests that all you have to do is ask. Apparently this is especially common at large department stores like Macy's and Bloomingdales. In theory, you don't even have to actually be on vacation to do this, but rather just ask if the store offers a traveler/tourist discount. There's no haggling and no special process—you just have to ask.
