Is this what you are looking for?

Offers are available for purchase each weekday Beginning May 6, 2019 at 1:00 pm ET, Quantities for these items are extremely limited and may sell out quickly. However, in the event that they do not sell out the day they go on sale, they will appear on the “All Available Offers” page. You may purchase offers featured on this page 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until the promotion ends, June 7, 2019, or until the offers sell out.

Some nice deals for Orlando in there... the Universal ticket and Discovery Cove offers are good.

Deals up through late May.

Nothing of interest except maybe some OMNI nights if you have a good use for them.

No airline/hotel points of interest.

I remember last year we had the debate about whether the $750 Avis President's Club membership was worth it. I seem to recall the consensus was that for most typical renters it wasn't.

I'm probably going to swing for the IHG points today for the first time ever. We just discovered that we can probably get a lot of use out of the 4th free night if we plan right, so I think this program will suddenly top our list for some vacations on long weekends. either way $500 isn't too bad. Plus other than Choice, So far I don't see anything else I need to buy LOL

Pretty sure they will be readily available when you take your swing. I recall last year they were there for a week or so.

Yes, I remember the same thing but rather not chance it so will just go for it at 1pm. Usually IHG is there until the very end. I wonder if that will change with the new benefit or not. Doubt it but who knows.

Previews got extended to the last week. The Battle Royale for Hyatt is June 3. Hyatt at just over a penny per point and Hilton at half a cent the next day.

I thought the same, I was excited as I'm a Disney World annual pass holder but not Universal but then I saw it was just California

The Hertz points and Hyatt points are pretty good value. Generally wouldn't use Hertz points the way the website suggests, but on a cost-per-point basis it's pretty good. (I tend to use Hertz points for 1-day rentals.)

While I can usually still get more than 0.5 cpp out of Hilton, I wouldn't actually *buy* them for that.

Yeah, I use hertz points for weekly rentals on midsize cars where cash rates are ridiculous.
