Family vacations are expensive. For a family of four, even the simplest trip can quickly rack up costs when you consider airfare, local transportation, hotel rates and activities.
And then there's food. Even when using smart budgeting strategies or cashing in points, meal expenses are easily underestimated — especially with picky kiddos who might be prone to wasting food.
But travelers may not be aware of a clever work-around. A growing number of points-friendly hotels — including many luxury options — allow kids to eat for free when dining on property. This perk adds another layer of savings — on top of cashing in points during a family vacation — without the need for a special dining package or all-inclusive rate.
