Each year, the U.S. Travel Association teams up with various travel businesses to offer limited-time deals to consumers. Daily Getaways, as it's called, is going on right now and will continue to offer deeply discounted deals through October 20, 2021.
Some of this year's promos look enticing, but let's take a closer look at them and see if any of these are actually a good deal.

Important Things to Know
First, there are a few key things to know about Daily Getaways.
- Daily Getaways purchases are not processed by the individual travel entities providing the offers; therefore, if using a co-branded credit card, you will not receive any extra brand-related bonus points.
- On the other hand, the offer should code as travel, so make sure to use a card with a travel spending category like the Chase Sapphire Reserve® (3x Ultimate Rewards on travel purchases).
- These deals can be incredibly hard to snag—especially the really good ones. Earlier in the promotion, for example, there was a deal on Hyatt points and it sold out almost immediately.
- Deals go live each day at 1pm EST, so make sure to be set up and ready to go several minutes before the deal begins.
- Make sure to read all the fine print before committing. Some of these offers can be quite restrictive.
October 13 – Wyndham Rewards
Members can purchase 15,000 Wyndham Rewards points for $175. This comes out to 1.17 CPP. There will be 766 available.
Wyndham points frequently go on sale for cheaper than this, so this isn't a particularly good value. For example, you can buy Wyndham points right now for a better price than what is available with the Daily Getaways promo.
The verdict: this is a garbage deal. 
October 14 – Omni Hotels and Resorts
Omni hotels is a luxury hotel brand with properties scattered throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. For this promotion, you can purchase various vacation packages at select Omni properties. Certificates are good for a standard room.
Here are the deals:

Whether this option is a good value or not will vary from person to person and from property to property. The certificates are quite restrictive—only specific properties are included, you must check-in on a Friday or Saturday, and there are blackout dates. Additionally, certificates expire December 30, 2022.
October 15 – Accor Hotels
Accor is offering several of its Ovation Rewards certificates at a discounted rate. Standard Ovation Rewards include a 1 night stay for up to 2 people in the specified room category with breakfast the following morning. Taxes, fees and gratuities are also included.
- Luxurious San Juan Getaway – $1,400 | 4 certificates, each good for a one-night stay for two in a 1-bedroom suite. This package includes breakfast, taxes, gratuities, and resort fees.
- Luxurious New York Getaway – $1,000 | 4 certificates, each good for a one-night stay at the Sofitel New York, for two people, in a 1-bedroom suite. This package includes breakfast, taxes, gratuities, and resort fees.
- Luxurious Washington DC Getaway – $1,000 | 4 certificates, each good for a one-night stay for two in a 1-bedroom suite. This package includes breakfast, taxes, gratuities, and resort fees.
- Luxurious Los Angeles Getaway – $1,700 | 4 certificates, each good for a one-night stay for up to two at the Fairmont Century Plaza. This is a Fairmont Gold level certificate—the most luxurious Oviation Reward level—so it includes breakfast and evening canapés, as well as luxurious room on the concierge-floor level. This package includes breakfast, taxes, gratuities, and resort fees.
These Accor certificates never expire, and there are no blackout dates.
October 18 – Best Western
Best Western is offering a deal to purchase 10,000 Best Western points for $55. That is a cost per point of just over half a cent each. There are 835 available and you can purchase up to 5 of these packages.
The best way to decide if this deal is a good one is to dig around Best Western, and check out properties that you are interested in. If the cash rate is on the higher end, then grabbing this deal can be a great option.
If you end up purchasing all 5 of these, you'll pay $275 for 50,000 Best Western points. Let's put this into perspective.
A room at the Best Western Plus Quartier Latin Pantheon in Paris, France costs $191.00 per night. Or you can use 24,000 Best Western points. If you stay two nights, you can either pay $382 or purchase your points through Daily Getaways for $275, which is enough to cover 2 nights and leave you with 2,000 remaining points.
For this example, Daily Getaways is the winner.
October 19 – The Venetian Resort
The Venetian Resort is located in the heart of the strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. For the Daily Getaways promotion, the Venetian is offering discounted rates for its luxurious suites – up to 50% off. There are two packages you can choose from:
- 3 nights at the Venetian in a Grand One Bedroom Suite for $850. (20 available)
- 3 nights in a Grand King suite at the Palazzo for $650. (30 available)
Blueprint of the layout of the Grand King Suite.
Packages include room tax and daily resort fees and are valid through December 27, 2022. Blackout dates may apply.
As you can see from the above calendar, which shows the nightly rates for suites, this offer can be a good deal or it can be a dud. It really depends on the dates you would like to say. If you have set dates and the prices are on the more expensive side, it can make sense to snag the Daily Getaway deal.
October 20 – Marriott Hotels
Marriott Bonvoy is offering gift cards at a 20% discount. This offer isn't unique and is offered directly from Marriott on occasion. But, if you have a paid stay coming up and want to save some extra cash, this can definitely be worth it.
You can buy up to 3 gift cards.
- $100 Marriott Bonvoy e-gift card for $80. (1,070 available)
- $250 Marriott Bonvoy e-gift card for $200. (252 available)
- $500 Marriott Bonvoy e-gift card for $400. (200 available)
Gift cards do not expire. According to a customer representative for Marriott, there is no limit to the number of Marriott gift cards you can use in a transaction.
Final Thoughts
It's great to see Daily Getaways back this year! Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Daily Getaways did not run in 2020, and we missed these deals. Not all of the options are great, but there are a few that can make sense. Make sure to do your research beforehand, though, to make sure the deal is actually saving you money. And be ready to buy before the deal goes live at 1pm ET because some of these go fast.
What do you think of these Daily Getaways offers this year?

Are non US citizen (German) eligible to participate?
I believe so, yes. I’d recommend looking over the T&C for the specific deal you’re considering just to be safe.
The Marriott offer might be the only one I consider this year. I can’t make the values from the other offers work for me. One question that everyone asks every year…Hyatt…why do they limit their offerings to such small amounts? Year in and year out, it does not generate the goodwill I would think Hyatt and Daily Getaways is trying to generate. I didn’t even bother with it this year. No matter, it’s great to see Daily Getaways back again this year.
I have bought a package of Choice points. I had already quite a lot of points and for this reason I bought only one package, good to extend the validity of all my Choice points.
Quite easy compared to previous years where all packages were sold out after minutes.
Now apart from one the other three packages are still available.
this year’s deals look way better than last year’s! Great list!
Might have a look at the Best Western deal, good to see those deals back.
Something for nothing…. Count me in
Glad to see them back, and obviously it is still not great travel time for many, but the options are meh to me this year.
Everything I’ve wanted to buy I’ve been closed out on over the past few years. Not worth the bother now.
The offers get snapped up quickly.
me encanta que haya estas promociones., aunque es una lastima que no existan en todos los paises. Sin duda de poder viajar a EEUU me hubiese ocupado en poder conseguirlas.
We certainly missed Daily Getaways in 2020. This years’ promos look rather enticing!
Great article! Thanks for the level of detail – especially the articulate list of Omni Hotels!!! This info should help me plan my fall/winter travels!
They were good a few years ago, but I’m to skip them this year.
There are some nice deals in the bunch but it is hard to get since there are limited number of them and they are time bound.
this is excellent news. Thank God. little by little we are returning to normality. I expect the tourism sector to fully recover.
Really appreciate when these deals come around, thanks!
I don’t really see anything in these. I agree I am happy to see them back. I haven’t been able to get anything in the past. Too slow. lol! But I hope next year will see something that entices me more.
Some tempting offers in there (love to go back to Paris) along with some real duds (thanks, but no thanks Wyndham….)….hopefully the concept will pick up some momentum and more and better offers will materialize
I’ll try to get Marriott e-gift card. The only sensible deal (at least for me)
Maybe it’s just me, but these don’t seem as exciting as previous years. Not a whole lot I’m super interested in
Some folks probably can put a vacation together by taking advantage of a few offers.
It is really good to know that Daily Getaways is back after the pandemy
