Everyone loves free stuff, especially when it’s actually helpful and has value.  Below are some travel freebies that I have found over time that I feel are actually worth paying for, but love them even more since they are free.  Everyone knows about free flights and hotel rooms using loyalty points, but did you know about all of these travel freebies?  If not, I’m happy to tell you about them now, enjoy!
