An annual travel promotion run by the US Travel Association gives the chance to buy travel related packages at discounted prices. A preview of the first two weeks of offers was provided by us travel.org.
There is a link to all the deals here. If you click on the individual dates, you will see the different pricing options for each package.
On the first day of the deal, there is a reward club point. The five different packages are being sold at a decent price, even though they are in cash. Over the last year, Points.com has decreased in frequencies, so this could be a good chance to top up.
Choice Privileges points are being sold for as low as 0.52 and as high as 0.60 on July 26. I have had good luck booking decent quality properties for 8,000 points, so the 55,000 point package would buy stays at those types of properties for less than 40 dollars per night. For most people, the packages are the best way to top up balances.
Daily Getaways is selling World of Hyatt points for less than our Reasonable Redemption Value. The price at which World of Hyatt sells points directly is much higher. I have been getting upwards of 2.5 to 3.0 cpp on Hyatt redemptions. The Hyatt offers are usually sold out within minutes and it feels like you won the lottery to get one.
Each Summer used to be a great time to attend the daily getaways with great deals. There are less and less deals that move the needle and the deals that are appealing are harder to find. We will have more in-depth posts on the better offers before they are live.
