Most easy escapes coupons are junk IMO.
Examples
For your "Free" night, check carefully the rates for your Fri and Sat nights. Usually those rates are much more than the average room rate you could get for all three nights on your own. So much for your "free" room.
The $100 food & bev coupon for 4 night stays at Hilton Resorts. I tried to redeem at HHV last year. Was told my rate ($200 per night in Ali'i) did not qualify for the $100 off. I asked what was the qualifying rate, $340 was the answer! You do the math. $560 more for my 4 day stay only to gain a $100 coupon for food that is overpriced and mediocre anyways!!!!!
Easy Escapes for the most part are crap coupons. Some have said that they have redeemed some of the air coupons. Every airfare I bothered getting a quote from for Easy Escapes, I was able to beat searching airfares on my own. Again, so much for my $50 off.
