Did COVID delay up your honeymoon? You could win a do-over trip from Sandals Resorts
For many couples, 2020 was a challenging year. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, a lot of people had to change their wedding plans, either postponing their wedding day or making changes to accommodate for a much smaller wedding.
Even if you were able to get married during the pandemic, the uncertainty of travel and personal finances may have impacted your honeymoon plans. That's why Sandals Resorts is giving couples a chance to win a romantic "do-over" honeymoon.

How save money on your own honeymoon
The Sandals' "Do-Over Honeymoon" sweepstakes is a great way for couples to get the honeymoon that they dreamed of taking. But for couples who don't win, there are still ways to take a vacation and celebrate their relationship.
Here are some suggestions:
► Get a travel rewards credit card. Using a travel credit card can help you earn travel rewards, which you can redeem for travel later on. If you get a new card with a great welcome bonus, that can help you reach your points goals sooner.
► Start planning as soon as you can. With pandemic restrictions lifting and COVID cases dropping, travel is getting increasingly popular right now, and the costs are rising. If you want to save money, planning and booking as soon as possible is your best shot at getting better rates.
► Set up an automated savings plan. If your honeymoon is some time away, it's never too early to start saving. Set up weekly or monthly automated withdrawals to ensure you have the money you need by the time your honeymoon arrives. Set the funds aside in a separate savings account so you're not tempted to spend it.
If you never had the chance to take a honeymoon or are looking to plan a honeymoon do-over, it's possible to plan an unforgettable honeymoon in an affordable way. But even a simple weekend getaway can be rejuvenating after the stresses of the last year.
