The Daily Getaways promotion is returning as of this week, and could potentially offer some awesome discounted travel opportunities. With the first deal kicking off later today, I wanted to recap the offers we can expect over the next couple of weeks, so that everyone can mark their calendars for the deals that matter to them.
In this post:
What is Daily Getaways?
Daily Getaways is a promotion that’s run by the US Travel Association, which is intended to encourage tourism within the United States. This has historically been offered every spring, though the pandemic has impacted this a bit. The promotion was suspended for the spring of 2020 and 2021. Then the promotion was brought back in the fall of 2021, and now it’s being brought back again in the summer of 2022.
Daily Getaways partners with major hotel groups, rental car companies, theme parks, etc., to offer discounted travel packages. These promotions come in different forms, from vouchers for travel experiences, to points packages, to discounted gift cards.
What kind of deals does Daily Getaways offer?
The Daily Getaways promotion is returning this year as of today (Monday, July 18, 2022). We already have a preview for the first two weeks of promotions, though we don’t yet know for how many total weeks the offer will be available.
To access the deals, you’ll simply want to visit the Daily Getaways website each weekday at 1PM ET, which is when the offers go live. Historically there have been five weeks worth of promotions, with a different deal every weekday. We’ll see if that’s the case this year as well, or if the promotion is modified.
The following brands are so far confirmed to be participating in this year’s Daily Getaways promotion:
- Accor
- Best Western
- Choice
- Hilton
- Hyatt
- IHG
- Las Vegas Sands Corporation
- Marriott
- Universal Orlando
- Wyndham

- Three nights in a Venetian Grand One Bedroom Suite for $950
This has the potential to be a good deal, though based on blackout dates and the general lack of flexibility with these packages, I’d only take advantage of this if I definitely had a trip to Las Vegas planned, and could definitely use this.

Are Daily Getaways deals worth it?
Back in the day, participating in Daily Getaways was almost unarguably worth it. The program had amazing deals, and there wasn’t that much competition for the packages. However, over the years the value proposition has worsened a bit.
Not only did some of the best deals become less valuable, but competition for the better promotions has increased significantly. For example, I’d say buying World of Hyatt points is more like a raffle than a promotion, based on how quickly the packages sell out.
So it’s always worth keeping an eye on what’s available, but I wouldn’t be planning any travel around this just yet.
Bottom line
The Daily Getaways promotion is returning as of this week. Every weekday at 1PM ET you can expect a new offer to be available, and we now have a sense of what the first two weeks of offers will look like. So whether you’re looking to buy hotel points, hotel gift cards, or stay packages, there’s lots of value to be had here.
Do you plan on taking part in the Daily Getaways 2022 promotion?
I was on the website at exactly 1 PM ET on July 29th to purchase Hyatt Points but was unable to even get beyond the cover screen due to volume. In a few minutes, the offer registered as sold out. I wonder how many awards there were and how many people were vying for them. I suspect some people found a way to get into the queue even before the 1 PM start.
Scam Alert! I just received a confirmation for a purchase I have not made. Indeed I am not sure whether I have ever made a Daily Getaways purchase but if so, it was years ago. Anyway, the email looks legit with all the details that look correct including credit card - I never leave my CC details on any site so not sure where that is lifted from. The only thing that is out of...
Scam Alert! I just received a confirmation for a purchase I have not made. Indeed I am not sure whether I have ever made a Daily Getaways purchase but if so, it was years ago. Anyway, the email looks legit with all the details that look correct including credit card - I never leave my CC details on any site so not sure where that is lifted from. The only thing that is out of place is that there is no exact number under the purchase amount. Will try to contact DG but thought I would flag it with this community as well.
Sure enough, the system crashes right after all the bots got the Bonvoy giftcards.
Is it only for US residents? I live in Asia and have to fill US address for the purchase
Two questions that you may or may not know the answer to:
What does these code as for CC purposes?
Do these become available at a certain time on the days listed(considering there are limited quantities)?
To access the deals, you’ll simply want to visit the Daily Getaways website each weekday at 1PM ET, which is when the offers go live.
Hertz promo is coming it will be 5 get out of jail cards after renting from them even though you are innocent having returned their cars
Where is my Hertz promo? I bet I purchased 50,000 - 100,000 Hertz point over the years via Daily Getaways. I need to have a closer look at the hotel promotions, though. The Hilton and IHG promotions are the same promotions available directly via the loyalty programs.
I think they their promo ended in Chapter 11.
Choice is the only one I'm hoping for, with the goal of using them in Europe next year. (Or Japan if they loosen tourism rules by then.)
Me too, choice hotel points. If I calculated correctly, the large package of points when dived into 8,000 point increments = approximately $42 a night. 8,000 points is the cheapest hotel night in the choice umbrella.
There are 6,000 points hotels. While not many, I have stayed in Econolodge Central Auckland and Atlanta Inn at the Peachtrees, Ascend Collection for 6,000 points per night.
I am going to respectfully ask both of you not to talk about the Choice Hotel points. That has been my only purchase from the daily getaways for the last few years. I prefer not to compete against "bots" for the largest point package.
Come on. Share the wealth :)
Can IHG points be purchased, but input the number of an IHG account that isn't the person buying, and have the points deposited into THEIR account?
woohoo... a total of 16 WoH packages.
For a million people.
