A few days ago, we reported on the first couple of weeks of the annual US Travel Association Daily Getaways promotion. Now the offers for week 3, week 4, and week 5 have been announced, and there are some tasty offers to be had.
For a full preview of weeks one and two, check out our previous article, today we will focus on weeks three through five.
Week 3 (April 24-28, 2017)
Week three is not the most exciting of weeks compared with weeks one and two. There are some interesting offers available, including the Avis one day car rental for $30, a good value in an expensive rental city. Also, the $100 carnival gift card for $85 is reasonable value if you've got a cruise in your future.
Week 4 (May 1-5, 2017)
Week 4 brings some great offers: Specifically, on May 5, you can get a 35% bonus on Orbitz, by picking up a $1,000 promo code for as little as $650. Bear in mind though that the code is single use only, and must be redeemed by December 31, 2018. So, make sure that you are planning a long enough stay to warrant the outlay.
On May 4, you can pick up some good value with Marriott’s eGiftCards retailing with a 20% discount.
Week 5 (May 8-12, 2017)
Week 5 has some excellent offers from Hyatt on May 10. You can pick any of the following offers for stays at various Hyatt Hotels:
- $260 for 2 Nights in a Hyatt Premium Hotel
- $415 for 2 Nights in a Hyatt Top Hotel
- $775 for 3 Nights in a Hyatt Suite
- $330 for 2 Nights in an Elite Hyatt Hotel
Bear in mind that although the offer is a decent value from a cash perspective, it is actually a points deposit from Hyatt, so you are essentially purchasing points for these nights. When you look at the deals form a purely points perspective, you are purchasing them for slightly more than 1 cent per point, which, depending on how you use your Hyatt points, can provide a fantastic value.
Summary
The 2017 Daily Getaways has some great deals, although not as good as those from last year. One thing to remember though if you are interested in any of this year’s deals, is that they are limited in numbers and will sell out quite quickly, so set your alarm and hit the site as early as possible to grab your deal. Of all the deals this year, the Orbitz is probably the most rewarding if it matches up with your travel plans; more flexible yet not as rewarding is the Hyatt deal, which still offers great value for a cash purchase.

I like the Choice packages, not much else.
Yea the offers are pretty tame this year.
Great series of offers, thanks for sharing.
i know it might be a stupid question. but: is that open to all?
The Program is available to all legal U.S. and Canadian residents (excluding Quebec) who are above 18 years of age.
Actually it’s open to U.S. (and now Canadian) forms of payment.
Of course the rules say that you have to be a U.S. resident, but you will only notice the restriction if you try to pay with a foreign credit card.
All of my hotel accounts have international addresses, but there’s never been a problem receiving points from Daily Getaways, as long as an American friend does the payment.
Glad to hear it has worked out for you. With any promos, I never hold my breath on them working out unless the terms are 100% followed — at least in my experience.
Can marriott egift cards be used to buy points on their web site?
You cannot. Points purchases are processed through points.com
I think weeks 1 and 2 deals are better offers. Thanks for sharing the next 3 weeks.
Great deal on Orbitz!
How do the Hilton bonus points offers work?
You buy the points and they are deposited into your account for future redemption.
Hyatt looks like a good deal if used at the right properties such as Park Hyatt Sydney
Avis is for one day, not one way.
T&C: “Cars must be returned to renting location.”
Thanks for catching that. I’ve updated the text.
Interesting to note that Marriott cards never expire, reduces the risk of holding onto some.
A few good offers I have spotted on there, thanks!
In my world it seems I’m usually flush with airline miles but my hotel points’ balances get slim pretty quickly. Therefore, I’m very interested in some of the hotel offers that are upcoming. Thx for this informative post!
Since we live only about four hours from Vegas, I’m attracted to the Vegas offers and some hotel offers. Could be fun, once again, to battle with the one armed bandits.
Ignore that. Seeing now this is a Daily Getaways offers, not Delta.
Is there more to the Vegas deals? 2 nights at Palazzo for $608 doesn’t sound like a deal at all.
Do purchases of the Marriott eGift cards count as Marriott/SPG spending with regards to credit card bonus points?
They do not.
Thank you for sharing the week 3-5 deals! Didn’t see anything too exciting for me.
Avis president is great if you rent frequently from them
It seems to me that the last three weeks are much more interesting that the first two.
For some offer I think we will see some sold out in seconds!
Saw an offer for Hertz. With any rent a car you should check prices a couple of times before a trip. Got Dollar rent a car for $8 a day at Phila International + all the taxes and junk fees 2 weeks out. 6 weeks out it was quite a bit more. The most expensive airport to rent a car is ANC in the summer. Makes sense to book at least 7 months out for a good deal. Otherwise expect to pay $100 a day in the summer in Anchorage.
it’s a great set of offers. sadly, I can’t take advantage of the offers this year due to the value
A few of these could be interesting. Gonna have to discuss it before jumping on them tho
Nothing really tempted me, as I looked through all the offers. The Fairmont Hawaii stay though did make me pause. However, I will pass this year but look forward to next year! Anyone know if there will be a next year? Plus, I still have some time if I want to take advantage of the Hyatt deals.
I’m interested in the Hyatt and Fairmont deals. Wish me luck!
As hard to get as ever!
I am interested in the Hilton points . Hope I bag at least one.
Thanks for spelling this all out. Any idea on the odds of winning?
What do you mean the odds of winning? This isn’t an auction, you purchase what you want.
Have several cash Marriott stays coming up this year. Like the idea that I can save $, but still earn points. Wish I could get excited about Hyatt, but since World of Hyatt, no dice.
Is there any information about the cost of Hilton offer on May 2?
Points purchase at $0.0048 per point.
