Hi, I purchased one of the $325 deals last week as well. Have you purchased one of these deals in the past? If so, did it take a whole 15 business days to arrive in your email and was it a pain to use? I was hoping to go to Orlando 2nd week of June, I realize that's really pushing it and probably not possible.

Daily Getaway Choice purchases seem to have posted to accounts. Check your Choice accounts, as a bunch of you should notice the points being credited. There is some manual work involved in these accounts getting credited; and so the amounts can be wrong at times -- even as Choice gets back to correcting most of them even without being contacted (if history is to repeat itself).

To post or not to post. If it is in my destiny, I will get this purchase. If not I would not have anyway.
Looks like the Hertz offer changed drastically.
Before the awards were something like 13200 for $560 or 4.2cents per point. now different offers but more points for less.
$698 - 25,000 Pts: One Week Prestige Collection - 2.8 cents per point
$280 - 7,500 Pts: One Week Standard Rental - 3.7 cents per point
$560 - 20,000 Pts: Weekend Prestige Collection - 2.8cents per point
However, Hertz redemption rates have gone up 37%, but the costs have gone down more than 37% making this deal MORE attractive.

Hertz Gold Point devaluation
I was thinking of getting one of the Hertz packages, but with the just announced (effective immediately with no advanced notice) devaluation, looks like not such a good deal. Check out the new burn rates to make sure it's worth the price.
How long does one have to buy the package?

Ouch! Must have slipped your mind to use a diff CC for the second tran. Years prior I sit on multiple devices to try and get Hertz points. This time I was just casually going for the 7500 points on my iPhone, and somehow I got it.

No Slipping TOTAL FORGETFULNESS. I was able to get both on just the one computer. I have a feeling they probably had more than the stated amount....

I got the Hertz 25k package and my partner got the 20k package. Just refreshed page until 1pm and bought immediately. They were gone by the time I had finished the purchase.
I *think* with these prices, it means I get one week of standard rental for $98 + some taxes which is pretty decent.
