The Daily Getaways promotion is returning as of next week (Monday, April 15, 2024), and could potentially offer some awesome discounted travel opportunities. Daily Getaways has just provided a sneak peek of some of the upcoming deals that we can expect, so let’s go over the details.
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 for three weeks, between Monday, April 15, 2024, and Friday, May 3, 2024. To access the deals, simply visit the Daily Getaways website each weekday at 1PM ET, which is when the offers go live.
What kind of deals does Daily Getaways offer?
Daily Getaways has so far revealed the first week worth of offers for this year’s promotion. This includes deals with Hilton, IHG, MGM, Universal, and more. More specifically, here are some of the offers we can expect:
- On Monday, April 15, you can buy Hilton Honors points for as little as 0.5 cents each
- On Tuesday, April 16, you can buy IHG One Rewards points for as little as 0.5 cents each
- On Wednesday, April 17, you can buy discounted MGM Las Vegas hotel packages
- On Thursday, April 18, you can buy discounted Universal Orlando packages
- On Friday, April 19, you can buy discounted Florida theme park tickets
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.
In week two or three it’s also possible that we see a promotion on buying 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 as of next week (April 15, 2024), and we know what kinds of deals we can expect for the first week. You’ll be able to buy discounted points with Hilton Honors and IHG One Rewards, as well as discounted packages with MGM, Universal, and some other Florida theme parks.
