Does Sam's Club Offer All-Inclusive Travel Packages?

Sam's Club may offer all-inclusive travel packages at times, but it's not a constant product. For instance, at the time of this writing, the only all-inclusive packages available are in the form of Go City All Inclusive Passes for select cities. These passes usually offer discounted rates to certain attractions and activities, not things like accommodations, transportation, or meals.

When Is the Best Time to Buy A Travel Package?

In theory, the best time to buy a travel package is well in advance of your actual travel date so that you have plenty of time to adjust your plans if needed. But travel packages can also sometimes offer great last-minute deals that you don't want to miss, so if you're looking to take a trip, it can be advantageous to stay as flexible as possible.

How to Save the Most at Sam's Club

There are a few things to keep in mind when shopping at Sam's Club in order to save the most.

Browse the special member savings each month. Sam's Club offers additional savings on their already low prices every month or so. Be sure to check out what the current offers are before you do any shopping there to score the very best deals available.

Consider a Plus membership. A Sam's Club Plus membership is more expensive than the standard one, but it also comes with more perks. As long as you'll shop there enough, the extra cost will be worth it as the savings can basically pay for the membership in no time. You'll earn 2% Sam's Cash on your purchases, plus earn free shipping on most items, and be able to take advantage of early shopping hours. A Sam's Club Plus membership typically costs $110 but right now you can get one for just $50.

Take advantage of Scan and Go savings. Sam's Club offers a more convenient way of shopping called Scan and Go . You'll need to download the app to get started, but when you do, you'll be able to head to your local warehouse, open the app, shop like normal, and scan the products as you add them to your cart. Then when you're ready to leave, you can just pay in the app and show your digital receipt on your way out of the store. Even better, utilizing this method can net even better savings since Sam's Club has specific Scan and Go Offers that let you save more when you shop these items in club using this method.

How Does Shopping Compare Online vs In-store?

As far as shopping for travel packages at Sam's Club, you'll most likely have to do that online. In-store you may be able to shop some gift card offers, but for the best selection, you'll want to look for travel options online on the Sam's Club travel page . From there, you can narrow your focus to certain regions or types of vacations to find the best deals.

If you're shopping online in general, you can take advantage of free shipping if you're a Plus member in order to have your picks delivered right to your door. You'll likely be able to shop for items that aren't available in your local warehouse either, so you'll have more choices to shop. However, if the items are available locally, Plus members can also utilize curbside pickup to have their items sooner but avoid doing the shopping themselves.

Shopping in-store, you can also shop more efficiently with Scan and Go, and save even more with specific Scan and Go offers. There may also be offers that are only available in warehouse, so if you're browsing the monthly savings, watch for that caveat when making your list.
