2 Hotel Deals

The last 2 Daily Getaways deals I like are today and tomorrow.

  • My favorite option with today’s deal is a solid price at one of my favorite Maui hotels (the Fairmont).
    • By the way, if you’re interested in other Fairmont properties, there’s a 20% bonus for gift cards on Wednesday (just 3 hours to buy).
  • Friday’s deal is by far the best Daily Getaways option this year. A great price on Hyatt points. If you’re interested in this one, you might have to be a little lucky. There will be plenty of buyers and not many packages for sale.

United Dining Miles

If you haven’t signed up for United’s dining program yet, here’s a way to earn 5,000 miles. Definitely easier for big city people…some of you in small towns will have a hard time finding restaurant choices that qualify.

Two Favorites Return

The Chase Ink 70,000 point offer is back through mid-May. This is part of a Small Business Week promotion and it looks like you’ll need to apply in-branch.

Also, IHG Pointbreaks is back at the usual bargain rate of 5,000 points per night. Obviously a great deal if you find a property you’d like to stay in.

Getting The Week Started

  • This week’s Daily Getaways options are actually pretty strong. Things get better as the week goes on. Friday’s surprisingly low price for Hyatt points is the best of the bunch.
  • If you’re looking to burn some Virgin Atlantic miles, it’s a good time to do it now. Coach to Europe from the east coast is the star here.
  • $5 for three Lyft rides if you’re new. Is anyone still new to Uber or Lyft, though?

End Of Week

  • 100% bonus buying Hilton points. As low as I’ve seen these things get.
  • Staples is giving $20 back when you buy $300 in Mastercard gift cards again.
  • For Mother’s Day shoppers, pick up 30 miles per dollar + 500 from United. Or 30 miles per dollar from American.
