It's time for the American Express Going Once auctions yet again. From April 17-27, U.S. and U.K. American Express card holders have the can bid on travel adventures. There is a set number of packages and the price drops every twenty minutes until 7:00 pm ET or until the package sells out. Buy early and risk not getting the best deal or wait as the price drops and miss out entirely.

First up is a seven-night package to Conouan Island in the Grenadines. The price starts at $7,740. The other excursions include trips to Florence, South Africa, an American tour, Hong Kong, a cruise to Antarctica, a Disney World package, and a trip to the Mayan Riviera. There are also 19 fixed price packages under $3,000 and other travel deals available.

These packages aren't very good deals. The starting price is way above the cost of booking the package a la carte yourself. There's no date availability guarantee either. Until a package reaches around the half-price mark for most trips, you're better off booking it on your own. Is there something I'm missing about the offer? I don't know why anyone would purchase these for hours.
