Earn $500 just for planning your next trip – Here’s how

planning your vacation trip


The Daily Navigator strives to help you make the best personal finance decisions. While we produce content according with strict editorial integrity this post may contain references to partner products. Here’s a full explanation for how our team makes money.

My dream career is getting paid to do nothing. But since I have a passion for writing, I guess I’ll settle for getting paid to write about an opportunity for you to do the least amount of work and earn $500 by simply planning a vacation you already planned to take.

Expedia members have 62 chances to win $500 on the Expedia app throughout May, and the best part is that it’s a breeze to enter for the extra dough (delivered as Expedia points). All you need to do is create a free account to become an Expedia member and install the app.

How does this work? 

You can enter Expedia’s May Sweepstakes by tracking or “hearting” a flight in the app and being an Expedia member. Choose any destination you desire and relax as you receive notifications informing you of any changes in flight prices. 

Booking the flight is not required to enter the sweepstakes, and each day, two lucky winners will receive $500 worth of points. And before you ask, tracking additional flights does not increase your chances of winning.

Thanks to Expedia, now you can get paid to do something you were going to do anyway, but with extra steps. Good luck and happy non-planning!
