Visa is kicking it up a notch by offering cardholders nearly a hundred discount offers on everything from LEGOLAND®, to shopping at Chicos, to dining at Pizza Hut.
Some of the discounts that caught my eye:

20 percent off Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotels in the U.K. (including the Mayfair in London)
$10 off any two entrees at Buca di Beppo
$5 off a $50 purchase at Target

20 percent off tickets to LEGOLAND® Discovery Centers in Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago, Kansas City, Atlanta, Westchester, NY and Toronto, Canada.
20 percent off the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas
The offers all require you to pay with a Visa credit card to receive the discount, and there may be promo codes or coupons to apply to your purchase. You can use any of dozens of Visa credit cards, including my personal favorite, the Chase Freedom Credit Card.
Be sure to read the fine print for the details on these offers, and check around to see if there are any better deals out there!

These three programs for small businesses are the best kept secret in the travel blogosphere. The programs have all been around for years and they are a cinch to use.
The first program, Visa SavingsEdge, discussed in today’s post, is good; the second program, Mastercard Easy Savings, is even better; and the third program is great. Please signup for email notifications of these future articles.
Visa SavingsEdge
If you are a small business owner and have a Visa business credit card, you may be interested in the Visa SavingsEdge program.
Visa EasySavings Travel Discounts
With a single registration, you can receive automatic discounts from dozens of vendors. The savings show up as credits on your monthly statement. No fuss, no muss. This is the lazy person’s savings program.
The program is for holders of Visa small business credit cards. All you have to do is register your card once and the discounts are automatic.
You can check whether your card is eligible on the Visa website. My Chase United Mileage Plus business card and my Chase Southwest business card are both eligible, and I have heard that the Club Carson Business Card is also eligible.
