Daily Getaways Starts Today

Daily Getaways starts today at 1pm. Today's offering is $50 towards an Alamo car rental for $25. Rather a lackluster beginning to the deals, but tomorrow promises to heat up with four sets of IHG points available. This week has a large variety of hotel points available. IHG, Hilton and Club Carlson all allow award bookings on the last room available, and do not have any black out dates. If you have any plans on staying at any of these hotel brands, one of these deals could save you a good amount on your lodging.

For me, I am hoping to land one of the IHG packages tomorrow.





Good luck and happy hunting.

Citi Hilton Honors Reserve Card

Generally I am not a fan of the Hilton Honors program. But then there is the Citi Hilton Reserve Card. 

For a $95 annual fee and after meeting your $2500 spending threshold, you receive certificates for two nights at most Hilton worldwide properties, good for one year from issue. In this case, qualifying the statement with “most” does not mean all of their high end properties. In fact, the excluded properties list is fairly limited. Most of the excluded properties are either all-inclusives or timeshares. Under the right circumstances, this offer can help achieve the most aspirational trip one can imagine. This includes Tahiti, Maldives and Bali to name a few of the most exotic locations. 

Conrad Maldives Rangali Island

Many properties at Hilton’s highest redemption level of 80K points/night are available for redemption using the certificates.

I am planning on applying for this card later this year as part of my strategy to achieve another dream trip. I will be very happy to spend a couple of nights in any of the above mentioned properties.
