Discounts Offered By A Travel Club Subscription

By Carol Campbell


When it comes to short and long distance trips and vacations, gas, hotel stays and food can often be expensive. While a Travel Club Subscription can provide a number of discounts, individuals often have to pay annual or lifetime fees or dues associated with membership. As such, individuals may want to assure that the dues will be covered by the discounts over the course of the year when paying annually.

While well known clubs have a lot to offer, there are also other ways to save money when away from home. For example, when looking for information on a time or vacation share, attending and participating in a one to two hour lecture and touring a location can often lead to a 3 to 4 night hotel stay in many areas.

There are generally two types of clubs, one which focuses on local discounts while providing discounts on various forms of travel. For example, AAA offers discounts at a number of local eateries, theaters and theme parks. While, the organization also offers protection for drivers along with discounts while on vacation in other areas such as at Disneyland, Disney World and other theme parks and attractions. As a result, AAA is not only often considered one of the least expensive of the travel clubs but also one of the most popular.

One club featuring discounted travel on an international basis is that of Dream Vacations. While focused on discounts for college students and luxury minded travelers, anyone whom can afford the dues and associated travel is welcome to join. While often considered one of the best clubs in the world, it should be noted that while the dues are often more than other organizations, the discounts are often far greater with regards to international tours.

Most destination and travel clubs are based on the business subscription model. In almost all cases, these type organizations require an individual of family to subscribe on an annual or lifetime basis. Pioneered by newspapers and magazines, the model has now become active in community organizations, gyms, housing, shopping and travel.

Those looking for discount lodging programs may also want to look at various home and time shares. For, in many cases, there are travel discount plans associated with these offerings. As a result, individuals might be able to save even more over the cost of a hotel, especially for long-stays when participating in a time share versus obtaining a one time discount through a club program.

With the ongoing growth and development of new clubs of this nature, it is often advised that individuals compare all aspects of a club before joining. In many cases, individuals must sign a contract. One thing to consider before doing so is whether a membership is transferable to other individuals.

In most cases, these clubs can be a good way to obtain discounts on various forms of travel. While this is the case, it should be noted that individuals can also locate discounts without membership in an organization. For example, Amtrak, Greyhound, hotels and many restaurants offer discounts to senior citizens and students on a regular basis. As such, it is often possible to obtain these discounts with only a valid driver's license or student ID.
