[QUOTE=GUWonder;18457047]Wyndham sold 2,000 packages this time -- two thousand.


The best deals in these promotions actually did not sell out as quickly year-after-year in prior years as they are selling out this year. [It's now much more difficult to get the packages this year than it was even last year; and last year was tougher than the prior year but nowhere near as close to as tough as this year.]

It's now far more akin to a lottery/"crap shoot" than it has ever been before. Perhaps this situation is a sign of a recovering economy, but it's certainly a sign that the travel bloggers have driven a lot more attention onto these deals than ever before. And thus they are harder to get.

As far as the number of points sets Hyatt offers in Daily Getaways, the deal has not changed from the past two years.

Here is my post from May 2010, the first year of Daily Getaways, showing the same offers as next week.

I have to agree with you about the travel bloggers alerting far more people to these deals and there are just not that many sets of points being offered.

There are still some good deals with Omni Hotels, Gaylord and Loews where the cost to buy nights can be a significant savings on the room rates at certain hotels, yet these deals are not selling out and are still available after the day of Daily Getaways sale.
