Hotels may offer room upgrades, complimentary drinks, and special greetings if you mention that you are newlyweds and on your honeymoon.

Also, inquire with your bank about credit card rewards and cash back to save money during your honeymoon - check your card's rewards and accumulate points to redeem for free bonuses, advises The Travel.

Take advantage of traveling off-season to get cheaper rates, special perks, and complimentary gifts, as the staff is less busy and more likely to go the extra mile to make your honeymoon special.

Room upgrades

Many hotels and resorts can upgrade a room for newlyweds coming for a stay. You can ask the hotel when you check in if there is a free upgrade, or you can call ahead to give them time to move things if needed.

Flight upgrades

There is always a chance that the newlyweds will get a free flight upgrade. If the newlyweds are flying away for their honeymoon, they should let the airline know and ask if there are any seats available in business class or first class.

There's nothing wrong with showing off your long trip (politely, of course!), and most companies (and airlines) are happy to make the journey comfortable for the newlyweds if there are seats available.

Free drinks for adults

Quite often, newlyweds are given free drinks. Also, when you go out to dinner, let the waiter or bartender know that it's your honeymoon and most of them will be happy to give you the first drink for free. As always, be polite and thank them if they offer this free offer!

Greetings

Many hotels will arrange a special reception if they know that they are hosting a newlywed couple. Also, letting the hotel or resort know that you are newlyweds can encourage the staff to make your room special for you.

Special meals and treats

Many restaurants will offer complimentary meals or at least desserts and wines for newlyweds. After all, a honeymoon is a special time, and in the hospitality business, they take pride in making everything perfect for their guests.

Free credit card rewards points

Always ask your bank or card provider about (and check) the rewards points system as a way to get free gifts during your honeymoon.

Free gifts from Airbnb hosts

Airbnb hosts often add a personalized touch in the form of small gifts or free services for guests.

Access to the airport lounge

Free access to the airport lounge will be a great bonus when flying on your honeymoon. Depending on the airline, the lounges may charge a fee and allow you to relax in style. While in the lounge, you and your partner can eat, drink, and relax in a comfortable and private area before your honeymoon officially begins.

Complimentary spa treatments

Unfortunately, most spa packages are expensive. However, Ultimate Wedding once stated that 19% of new couples received free spa treatments simply because it was their honeymoon.

Off-season offers and special bonuses

If you're traveling during the cooler months (when most people aren't traveling), hotel and restaurant staff are likely to make sure the newlyweds feel just magical since they're not as busy.
