The U.S. Travel Association’s Daily Getaways for 2015 are now on their second week.
As has been the case in previous years, you can mainly buy hotel loyalty program points at a discount (whether that makes sense or not is a different matter).
You can access Daily Getaways website here.
The 10% discount that has been available for those that pay with Amex has been withdrawn.

Conclusion
The Choice Privileges points are deposited to your account and you are free to use them anyway you wish. Choice has periodic award sales for stays in Europe when buying at these prices make sense.
What do you think about the Best Western Points? Are they worth it?
I notice it says in the rules that the Choice Hotels points can be used at any USA hotel…is it possible to use these points for hotels in Europe or do they have a way of segregating them from your regular points?
