While growing up in North Carolina,“Access” To Savings for Everyone Articles I realized that business gave the consumer no advantage. My parents are not wealthy. They have always worked for everything they have. My mother would buy our groceries each week and use any coupon she could find. Each week we received the News and Observer, Sunday edition. I always looked at the comic section each week while my mother diligently scoured the coupon section and other inserts to get any deals offered. My mother is very good at saving. I even remember the“Green Stamps” savings program. I went with her to the Green Stamps Store to redeem the thick wrinkled books. Each time she purchased certain items in certain stores she received a strip of stamps that were collectable for “points” that were redeemable for different products. As I grew up I realized that I was on my own to save money.

I have had many jobs and have lived in a few towns throughout my life. I have noticed the difference in the discounts found in different locations. I have seen stores that offered no discounts and stores that were always in a sale. I have even seen businesses that were going out of business for 4 or more years in a row. I began to think there must be some good way to find discounts in any location where I might be. I was not able to find a program such as that until I joined the NEA (National Education Association). One of the benefits was the use of “Access”; a source of discounts from all over the world. Four years ago, I started using the program I had been looking for. Access provided me an opportunity to search a location I would be traveling to soon. First I would look for a hotel to stay. I would look for the highest rated place and then look for the hotels discounted 50%. Many places have both qualifications. I have found some very good places for very affordable prices. One place I found was Virginia Crossings, a 4 star location, gated and with a golf course. I received excellent service and Virginia Crossings is the best resort in Virginia. After finding the hotel, I made a call to the in house reservation desk, identified myself as an Access member and received a confirmation fax. After my hotel, I begin looking for local restaurants that offer 50% off or other discounts. I have a few choice locations where my family enjoys a great meal at a reasonable price. I have never had any problem at any hotel.

I travel to at least 4 locations every year for my daughters in a local Winterguard program. This is their 7th year in the program and, as always, I am snapping pictures. I have a new 10 MP digital camera using my discount program as well. I just used Access to receive four new cell phones for my family – Free!

I am still using the Access program but not through the NEA any longer. I am now in a new program that combines the Access program with Restaurant.com, coupons and a points “cash back” program. The best part of the program is that I am spending less on this system than I did to be a member of NEA. I am paying $19.95 a month. I have saved more than that EVERY single month I have been a member in either sponsored program. Access is not accessible to the public, only through a company as a benefit. To use the discounts you must have a card with the Access logo printed on it.

I am introducing this program to you because I assume that I am not the only person seeking a way to save money. Nobody gave me the money, so I do not want to give it away either. I do not mind paying for services or products I need and want but I also do not want to pay more than necessary. I am offering you an opportunity to view the program free, My World Results. All I need from you is your Email address, name and phone number. After looking around the program you have the option to opt-out of the emailing system. If you opt out, I will not call you either. If you have a concern about leaving your information then you can enter through MyWorldDiscounts. If you have any question then you can email me at Aray456@bellsouth.net. Please go to look at one of these sites. Thank you for your attention and reading. I look forward to meeting you soon.
