Saving Money With Daily Getaways

Beginning May 19, 2014 to June 20, 2014, you can get great deals on travel, if you act fast.

Past Daily Getaways included:

Travel packages (Las Vegas, New York, and more)
Discounted theme park tickets (Sea World, Universal Studios, Busch Gardens, and more)
Car rental discounts
Hotel points

You can usually get the same travel deals each year. So if you missed out last year, you have a chance this year.

You’ll get an additional 10% discount when you use your American Express card. There’s a limit on how many of each offer you can buy.

Stay connected and act fast

You can buy Daily Getaways at 1pm EST daily. You might be able to purchase some deals in advance by liking a specific Facebook page. A code will be posted on the travel provider’s wall at Noon EST. So you’ll want to be near your computer, your smartphone or tablet.

There’s a limited number of Daily Getaways travel deals so you need to act quickly.

But you don’t have to travel immediately. You can use your Daily Getaway deal like Groupons or Living Social coupons, and use them later. You usually have one year to redeem, so there’s no rush.
