We missed out on the Mardi Gras trip — and we’re still a little sore about that one.
But now the DailyGetaways.com is winding down it’s five week promotion (there’s just five days left). The program is part of the Discover America campaign to promote travel in the U.S. — which we totally support.
The big sponsor for the campaign has been American Express, which we would love to have one of those black cards so we could get into those swanky airport lounges, we promise not to buy things we can’t afford. Amex does offer a daily special for cardmembers on the site (though bids can be purchased with any plastic).
Anyway, the site is throwing up everything it has left onto the auction block. Some very good deals, some, well, less expensive deals that you’re not going to catch us putting in a bid for.
There’s only a limited number of getaway deals on any particular package, so it’s up to you to decide. Each auction starts at 10 a.m. and runs until 10 p.m. We’ll tell you what’s up for bid each morning at 8 a.m. for the remainder of the week. Right now, you’ve got a half hour to decide if you want:
