Do Any Daily Getaways Packages Make Sense in 2023?

The Daily Getaways promotion is back yet again, a bit earlier than last year. In 2023, the promotion starts on Monday, June 12, 2022. A preview for the first two weeks is now available…

On Monday, June 12, you can buy IHG One Rewards points for 0.5 cents each
On Tuesday, June 13, you can buy Hilton Honors points for 0.5 cents each
On Wednesday, June 14, you can buy discounted Florida theme park tickets
On Thursday, June 15, you can buy Accor hotel stay packages
On Friday, June 16, you can buy Marriott gift cards at a discount
On Monday, June 19, you can buy Choice Privileges points for 0.52 cents each
On Tuesday, June 20, you can buy discounted hotel stays at The Venetian in Las Vegas
On Wednesday, June 21, you can buy Omni hotel stay packages
on Thursday, June 22, you can buy Wyndham Rewards points for 1.17 cents each
On Friday, June 23, you can buy Best Western Rewards points for 0.55 cents each

So What Makes Sense?

Only the Choice Privileges points packages are selling for a lower price than you can buy directly (during promotions). So buying some Choice points is certainly worth considering.

Some people also find a use for the IHG and Hilton Honors points packages. You won’t save money; but you will circumvent annual caps on buying direct from the hotel chain.

Marriott gift cards are close to free money for those who stay regularly at Marriott hotels. As a result, these tend to sell quite quickly.

For the other packages, you can definitely find value there. But you need to pay very close attention to the fine print – your money is as good as gone if you can’t make use of the hotel certificates…
