“Where should I travel to next?” – you might be thinking

“Nowhere until you fill me up.” – said your bank account

If low funds are holding you back from your next trip after the pandemic, don’t stress. Travel costs highly depend on your destination and length of time. The further you travel, the more expensive it’ll be (generally). But we also expect to see some major deals as destinations vie for more tourist traffic again.

No matter where or when you want to go, you can still prep your funds to pay for your next trip with the following fun and/or practical ways!

1. School Competitors in Solitaire and Ca$h In

Solitaire Cube is like regular Solitaire, except you get to play for real cash.

The free game matches you with players of the same skill level, so all is fair. Even casual players like Amanda, a stay-at-home mom from IL, won a 55″ TV, $6,000, and more prizes.

It’s easy to start:

  1. Tap now to download from the Samsung Galaxy Store
  2. Follow the instructions on screen to install
  3. Open the app and play!

5. Spin to Win - Earn Coins to Build Adventurous Villages (And Raid Others)

Coin Master is a free casual game that’s amassed over 81 million downloads and has earned the rep of being one of the most interactive games on the market.

Spin to earn coins, chances to raid other villages, and build up your own village to move to the next level. There are over 200 uniquely themed villages to build including Steampunk Land, LA Dreams, Magical Forest, Hell’s Village, and more. Pets can also be raised to help you get more coins.
