American Flag - Discover America with New Travel Auction and DealsHave you been dreaming of seeing all the United States has to offer?

Starting today, travelers can bid on unique travel packages and take advantage of deeply discount deals.

Discover America Daily Getaways is a month-long partnership between the U.S. Travel association and American Express that will auction travel packages to a number of American cities to cardholders.

These once-in-a-lifetime packages feature exclusive access to events as varied as a VIP experience in Las Vegas to a cattle drive in Houston. For instance, revelers can get behind-the-scenes access to Mardi Gras including a ride on Harry Connick, Jr.’s float, followed by a black-tie and other inside-access experiences over a five-day stay.
