Also: Earn double World of Hyatt points at Las Vegas MGM resorts [The Points Guy]( WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY Jul 15, 2022 Daily Getaways Is Back This week has been a week of deals, thanks in part to the Amazon Prime Day sale. And another noteworthy sale is on the horizon: Mark your calendars for July 18, when[the Daily Getaways]( sale returns. This sale offers four weeks of daily travel deals from 10 major travel brands. Some of the deals you can expect include up to 50% off hotel points and reduced prices for theme park tickets, vacation packages and hotel stays. To help you prepare for the sale, we've previewed the first two weeks of deals, which include these two opportunities we have our eyes on: - July 27: Save 20% on[Marriott gift cards]( which can be used on any Marriott purchase. A $100 card will cost $80, a $250 card will cost $200 and a $500 card will cost $400. - July 29: Buy[World of Hyatt points]( for 1.2 to 1.3 cents per point, a rate that is much lower[than TPG’s current valuation]( of Hyatt points at 1.7 cents each. As you look at these Daily Getaways deals during the next two weeks, know that savings start each day at 1 p.m. EDT and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We expect several to sell out quickly as some quantities are quite low, so the sooner you make your purchases, the better. Generally speaking, our experts say it's best to earn points and miles through welcome bonuses from[travel rewards credit cards]( instead of buying them outright, but there are exceptions to every rule, as this sale shows.
