The online company is offering a chance to win a vacation for four and to be featured in an ad campaign.

The "Show Us Your Cheap" travel contest runs through March. Four grand prize winners may be featured in CheapTickets' print and radio advertising and online at CheapTickets.com. In addition, they may also win an "Ultimate Vacation Package" -- a five-day, four-night getaway for four, including air, hotel and car rental, to the winners' destination of choice anywhere in the continental United States.

At cheaptickets.com/yourstory, consumers can upload a photograph of themselves, family or friends on vacation, along with a story that shows how they save money when they travel and how those savings enhanced their overall travel experience.

The "Show Us Your Cheap" print ad campaign will run in early July in travel and leisure publications including People, USA Weekend, Budget Travel, Everyday with Rachael Ray and O-The Oprah Magazine.--Nina M. Lentini
