  • Charleston-North Charleston, SC (1888PressRelease) September 29, 2011 - For the third consecutive year, "The Frugal Travel Guy" blog has received a Tripbase Award for Best Budget Travel Blog.

    Rick Ingersoll is the founder and primary author of "The Frugal Travel Guy" blog and a recognized "travel hacker" expert on frugal travel and flying for free. A retired mortgage banker and frequent world traveler, he is always on the look out for deals others miss or simply don't know about towards accumulating airline frequent flier miles and hotel rewards points. He shares everything he finds and teaches his readers a host of tips and tricks for accumulating miles and points and significantly reducing their travel budget for life.

    "My true intent is to teach people how to do this themselves," he says, "so that they can see the world at prices we can all afford. I love showing average folks like me, who think they can't afford to travel, that they can by following the tips, deals, and advice I post on the Frugal Travel Guy blog every day."

    Ingersoll is rewarded by near-constant thanks from readers for who have been on trips they never thought they could afford.

    "The Frugal Travel Guy" blog also features weekly "Rookie Travel Tips" by Ingersoll's daughter, Shannon Watson, for readers who are just beginning the "travel hacking" game; his son Andrew's posts and photographs from his own extensive world travels; and "Sunday Success Stories" by readers who share how they used Ingersoll's advice to afford often amazing travel experiences.

    The Tripbase Travel award is only given to the blogs that are the top of their respective class and are some of the best in the field, according to Tripbase's website (www.tripbase.com). A team of travel experts scours the Internet for the best blogs they can find and make the nominations. The group then short-lists certain blogs, considering factors such as how informative the blog is, the overall writing style, the actual blog appearance, and how well that blog performs in its given category when compared and contrasted to other, similar blogs.

    "The award is a mark of prestige, which is only afforded to the blogs that score highly when our judges review them for selection," Tripbase reports. "The award is a sign that a blog succeeds greatly at what it does, and surpasses all expectations, thereby indicating it as a veritable bastion of quality and information."
