A friend of mine who works for Expedia just posted something on Facebook about SniqueAway, a site the company launched last fall essentially offering flash sales (like Groupon, Rue La La and Gilt) specific to travel. Given I’m a total sucker for these types of sites, I thought I’d share it with you. Similar to other sites, it’s invite only, so here’s an invite from my account: http://www.sniqueaway.com/invite/clutch22  

Also, once someone who accepts your invitation makes a purchase, you get a $25 credit. Personally, I’m surprised the credit isn’t a little higher given the average cost of a trip tends to be much more than any pair of designer jeans AND people aren’t making travel purchases at the same pace they shop the fashion flash sales…but hey, no complaints here. I’m not posting about it because I hope to score a lot credits. Either way, it’s exciting to see a travel company enter this space. Gilt, Hautelook and some of the other sites have been doing a little travel, but the options are limited.

The Ace Hotel NYC is coming up this Thursday, which happens to be one of my favs. Check it out and let me know what you think!
