As I posted recently, “Tanks for Traveling” is what members of BedandBreakfast.com call their effort to reward value-conscious B&B travelers. The campaign is their way of giving back to the traveling public and—let’s face it—drumming up a little business with some not-so-ordinary incentives. Members in nearly 40 states and several foreign countries have created more than 150 money-saving deals for B&B travelers. I shared deals in Michigan and Illinois before and now we’ll look at other offers across the Midwest. If you want to review all the promotions, log on at www.BedandBreakfast.com. Look for the image of a the fuel gauge on the home page.
