I am really upset. I twice had 2 of the 42,000 point packages on reserve. When I clicked to pay, it kept saying that my address didn't match the credit card. I just moved, so I thought for some reason maybe Daily Getaways didn't "recognize" my address from previous years. It didn't work with my old address, either (not that I am really upset with that, of course).
I was able to get in a second time, tried a different card, and same results.
Well, lo and behold, these 42,000 point packages sold out. When I tried for 2 each of the 28,000 and 14,000 point packages, I had no trouble at all with paying. I was hoping to get a total of 6 packages-- I didn't even try for the 55,000 point packages since I figured everybody and their brother would, naturally, be trying for those first. While I am not upset with 4 packages, it just irks me that we can't load our payment info ahead of time to avoid these "errors"
That aside, I thought this year was much more realistic for us to actually get some points. I agree with the poster upthread who said that Choice did a good job with regards to availability this time.

Considering how the 28,000 point packages are still available, I think it would be nice if --instead of being limited to 2 each of all packages-- we were allowed a total of 8 no matter the assortment of packages. I know I personally would be happy if I got 8 of the 28,000 point packages, as it would still be a good deal. It would be less stress and my poor hands and fingers would be a lot happier!

Speaking of emails I just realized that I entered the two emails wrong well the same email wrong twice in one of my purchases so I'm hoping the point still come through for that, I don't see why they wouldn't cuz I don't think that you know it's tied to anything but a receipt, and I did print out my confirmation of purchase
