All sorts of offers, but hotel-related ones are Marriott gift cards 100$-up- 20% off, 24K Hyatt pts for $225, 40K Choice points for $150 and up to 7 free nites at Country Inns/Suites for $50 nite or 3 free nites @Radisson for $80 nite. The prices I listed include 10% off when you use Amex. Most of the pts offers they listed were for categories/certain properties within their company but they just give you points; you have up to 2 years to use them if I read it right. The Marriot gift cards and the Carlson free nites have no expiration date. You can sign up for any of the deals you see now and they will e-mail you when it's available to purchase. https://dailygetaways.discoveramerica.com/Default.aspx

The Radisson nights seem pretty good for NYC and Boston. The Radissons there get decent reviews on TA (yeah, it's TA, I know) and typically go for at least twice the $80/night. The Ts&Cs are pretty scary though - doesn't mention which are the participating properties, only that all in resorts are not included, and says that the participating properties can change at any time.

Marriott and Choice work for me because of the flexibility in using worldwide. The Carlson and Best Western deals specify US only. And pffft, Hyatt has reminded me why I am not even a member of their program - no properties in the 3 major EU cities I'm going to this year.
iggyray, are you viewing in Calendar mode? If not, it's the last tab on the right, after April 15th.
phatrabbitzz, it's Hyatt 24k for $250.

And the site stipulates that one can get an additional 10% off by using any AMEX card. So, USD$ 250 * 0.90 = USD$ 225.00

How hard are these to get?
Do they sell out in under a minute or does everyone who gets on within the first 5 minutes pretty safe?
My wish List:
-1 1000 Marriott and 2 500 Marriott GCs
-Hyatt Points
-Hertz Rental Week
-Choice Points (200K if possible and will use for 8K/night properties)
I will buy them all if possible.

[QUOTE=MIT_SBM;16156529]I re-read the T&Cs for the Hyatt offer. I didn't see the 2 year limitation. Can you direct me to it?
Sorry about that -no expiration on points- it was 2AM when I went thru these
I guess the Choice points were the ones w/expiration. (Maybe B/Western also but the offer was so lame I didn't bother to read T&C).

Remeber you set up to get an email alert when they go on sale. I guess you can stay up till midnite and fire away. If you use Woot! then you are used to this. OT, but it reminds of the planned select seating choices NW was going to try before a lot of elites/FT'rs complained. Depending on your status and timing of flight you could be up at 3AM just to snag a coveted exit row aisle seat.
