Ok... maybe this is the best question for here... but.. here we go.

I am looking for good giveaways for my members of my website. I would
like to give them a free vacation voucher. Even if its just a couple
hotel nights stay although i would like the best possible for them. I
dont want it to be one of those time share crap. I dont mind paying up
to $10 per.... and i understand the people receiving will have to pay
taxes on the room etc. However, I see some scams that are "all you pay
is taxes and service fee of $65/night". Well... they sell their rooms
for $65 a night... so how is that a deal? Anyways, bottom line. Where
is the best place i can buy these vouchers from that the end users
gets the best experience and I dont break my wallet.

Preferred places:

NY
Orlando FL
Vegas

thanks guys!!

I do not think you are going to find hotels that will offer a voucher
for a couple nights for $10.  Maybe you could give out gift
certificates to restaurants instead.

Vacation vouchers assume that the recipients will want to go to the
places specified, which might not be the case. Also, they might
involve restrictions on dates and times of travel, which could make it
impossible for some people to take up the offer. Finally, there are
people who, for health or family reasons, cannot travel. I for one
would be far more thrilled to receive an Amazon voucher than a holiday
voucher.

yes, however... the idea is to make it look like they are getting
something more valuable ;)

its just the gesture... if they cannot use the trip... thats fine :)

Ah, but then if there was a choice of two web sites with things on
offer, I would patronise the one that gave me the book vouchers, even
if the value was less, because I would get something I could use to
get something I really want.  There I would feel I was getting
something valuable, whereas the holiday vouchers would be thrown away
with a snarl of disgust.  I always think the "free holiday" deals must
be a scam and would not dream of signing up for such an arrangement. 
Moreover, the destinations you cite are perhaps the nearest
equivalents to hell on earth as far as my personal tastes in holiday
destinations go!!!

Perhaps you should think about giving your patrons a choice of
rewards.  That way, you might expect to satisfy more of them.
