The Daily Getaways promotion is returning as of today (Monday, April 15, 2024), and could potentially offer some awesome discounted travel opportunities. I wanted to post a reminder of all the deals we can expect to see over the next three weeks. I won’t otherwise be writing about this offer, so mark your calendar if there’s any package you’re interested in buying.
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 once per year, except for a brief break during the pandemic.
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.
When is Daily Getaways returning?
The Daily Getaways promotion is available this year over three weeks, between Monday, April 15, 2024, and Wednesday, May 1, 2024. To access the deals, simply visit the Daily Getaways website each weekday at 1PM ET, which is when the offers go live.

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.
Looking at the first week of deals, the cost to buy Hilton Honors points and IHG One Rewards points is in line with the cost you’d pay if you purchased points directly through the programs during a promotion. Meanwhile in week three, it’ll be possible to buy World of Hyatt points — that can be a great deal, though the catch is that it’s 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, and it’s worth understanding the deals that are available. When it comes to hotel points, you’ll be able to make purchases with Best Western Rewards, Choice Privileges, Hilton Honors, IHG One Rewards, and World of Hyatt.
Do you plan on taking part in the Daily Getaways 2024 promotion?
Does anyone know of an effective software for getting these deals? I didn't get any last year since everything interesting was sold out instantly.
If you've already bought the maximum amount of World of Hyatt points, will you be allowed to purchase more through this promotion?
Yes. This is a way to get around the usual annual purchase volume restrictions the programs have for direct point purchases.
How does the purchase code? Which credit card should be used?
I hope your daily promotions will include some in Asia and Europe. Some subscribers do not live in the USA .Thanks
You might want to find a travel blog that focuses on your region of interest. It is unreasonable to expect Ben to cover the entire planet by himself.
"Experienced Traveller" - you can use World of Hyatt, IHG, and Hilton Honors points globally...
Uhh, you do realize this program is run by US Travel Association. Not Asia not EU not Africa but US.
If you actually read pass the first few lines you would have seen that.
Traveling from bed to toilet doesn't make you an experienced traveller.
If i were to buy IHG points during this promotion, any restrictions ok where i can use them ie US only or they just get deposited in my account and can use globally?
You should be able to use the IHG points globally. I bought Best Western points before during the Daily Getaway and I was able use the points overseas. The points are deposited directly into your account.
The offers that used to be of most interest to me with the Daily Getaways have become far less compelling for me as Choice and Wyndham have devalued the points a lot in the last few months and seem inclined to devalue more and faster in the period ahead.
I'm hoping for reasonable Choice Hotels offers. I've always gotten very good value from them in Northern Europe, India, and Japan, and if all else fails they're useful for positioning stays and road trips. Nothing else really for me short of something unexpected, most likely a deal which just happens to work with other plans.
Beside pricing being worse, have you seen what has gone on with Choice availability? India is mostly showing as “sold out”. Japan and Northern Europe recently saw big point price increases for award nights.
Hi,
Where can we find the increased? Is there a chart, or did you just find it in your searches
By searching online in the app or the website.
And Choice has hiked up the point prices for those properties even as the amount Choice pays for the award nights has remained the same as it was even before Covid-19 hit the news.
