US TRAVEL ‘DAILY GETAWAYS’ DEALS RETURN

The US Travel Association has unveiled a weeklong preview of its popular Daily Getaways program. Officially launching for sales on June 12, the month-long Daily Getaways features exclusive offers for travellers – including Canadians – from major travel brands that include discounts up to 50% off loyalty points, theme park tickets, vacation packages and hotel stays.

Citing survey data (Morning Consult) showing travellers are increasingly looking for ways to save on travel, including using points and rewards to book travel than last year, the USTA notes that deals in Daily Getaways carry at least a year-long expiration and many offering points that never expire (with an active account).
