Basically the same thing. Both run by the same company. HW Savings is better....has more discounts....Simple Escapes allows you to order 20 gift cards (e.g. Target) vs 15 from hotwire. Disney discounts are exactly the same. Hotwire is $7.95 per month vs. SE is $14.95 per month. If you sign up for the free trial for SE on netflip, you can get two $25.00 gift cards for free (1 kmart and 1 choice)...go to netflip....choose membership clubs on the bottom right....go to simple escapes...start signing up....then back out (back button on browser)....a pop-up window will show up offering two free gift cards instead of 1....pm me if you need more assistance.
