 Mixing productivity and play, with even just a couple days of leisure travel, has been found to reduce stress, boost creativity and improve “bleisure” travelers’ moods for weeks after returning home. From exploring Mom and Pop cafés between meetings, to collecting memories at neighborhood shops, Extended Stay America’s exclusive loyalty program, Extended Perks, offers members instant savings with 150,000 top national and local merchants with no points required, making work travel even more rewarding.

Whether “bleisure” travelers have a few free hours or an extra day, Extended Stay America offers the following budget-friendly tips to add variety to every trip.

  1. For culinary connoisseurs, try famous local dishes and trendy eats while traveling for work. To avoid breaking the bank, keep an eye out for local happy hours and utilize resources like Extended Perks for regular deals.
  2. Stay active and experience local culture by exploring neighborhood shops. Artisan stores carry a variety of local goods often difficult to acquire elsewhere, perfect for souvenirs.
  3. Break up the workday by asking locals about hidden gems and festivities, which are especially abundant during the summer. Download the Extended Perks app and get a plethora of on-the-go instant deals on entertainment, from concerts and movies, to city tours and theme parks.

Stepping away from traditional point-based systems, Extended Perks delivers the sense of exclusivity and privileges consumers expect from members-only programs, while delivering the instant gratification they desire. Customers can join Extended Perks free of charge by going to ESA.com/ExtendedPerks and start saving immediately via the user-friendly mobile app, available for iOS and Android platforms.
