Nowadays, it’s easier than ever to live a life of luxury and class without emptying out your entire savings account. If you know what you’re doing, seeing the world and relishing in exquisite tastes without paying full price is much simpler than you think. There are tons of luxury life hacks that anyone can try to gain access to exclusive freebies and rewards.

Take Advantage

The first thing you can do to access free swag is to join loyalty and rewards programs. It doesn’t have to be through your credit card provider either. Lots of companies offer programs to their customers just for choosing their store or website over their competitors. Business Insider has a guide to some of the most popular programs available, and all it takes is a simple sign-up. You could end up with frequent free coffee from Starbucks, savings on designer clothing or even discounted plane tickets just by collecting points for things you’re already buying. Most of these programs also offer free gifts on your birthday and anniversary, so make sure to input the correct info. If you play it right, you could be enjoying free ice cream and a huge discount on that dress you’ve been eyeing in no time.

If you’re feeling lucky, try your hand at a virtual VIP casino. If you can’t afford to take a trip to Monaco, an online casino can give you the full luxury experience you’ve been seeking. Take advantage of low wager requirements that let you bet small amounts if you’re a newbie. You can also earn member benefits like invitations to exclusive events, a personal account manager and or a shot at joining other members on a casino trip abroad. Why waste time playing Candy Crush for free when you could be hitting the slots?

Travel and Explore

Traveling doesn’t have to mean expensive hotels and private jets. True wealth is in travel itself, even if you’re taking a two-hour trip to a nearby landmark. Traveling opens up your mind to history, culture and experiences that are unparalleled no matter how much money you’re spending. After all, a photo in front of the Eiffel Tower is the same no matter how you got there or where you’re staying.

Hotwire has deals on hotels in pretty much every city around the world. The catch is that the name of the hotel isn’t revealed until after you book. This enables the hotel to offer a significantly lower rate without publicising it and spoiling their luxury image.

Another useful travel tool is Like a Local. No one knows how to save money in a tourist hotspot like a local of the region you’re visiting. If you want to check out what free activities are nearby, or which bars and restaurants to try on any budget, thousands of locals worldwide have submitted tips and tricks to help guide you through their city.

You don’t need millions to live like a millionaire. You can tweak your life with these easy hacks and be on your way to living luxuriously on a budget.
