Discounts Offered By A Travel Club Subscription

By Carol Campbell


Whether going on a domestic or international business trip or family vacation, it can often be expensive. While this is the case, a Travel Club Subscription can often cut the price of a trip in half. In other cases, budget minded individuals can often find discounts and plan a vacation without having to pay the dues which most of these organizations charge on an annual basis.

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 of the most popular clubs, especially among college students is that of Dream Vacations. For, the club offers great discounts on domestic and international trips and tours. As such, exchange students and others often find the discounts very beneficial during Spring and Summer breaks. While this is the case, the club has also become attractive to luxury and world wide travelers whom can afford the fees and travel associated with membership.

Whether looking for a domestic or international club, most are based on the subscription business model. For, all generally require annual fees or dues before one can purchase discounted tickets, trips or tours. Based on the original business model of magazine and newspaper subscription plans, there are now subscriptions in a number of different areas.

When it comes to condominium and housing, there remains some debate as to whether fees associated in these areas are based on this business model. For, while there is no doubt that home and hotel based time-shares qualify, those whom only use a home as a primary residence often prefer to think of home ownership agency fees as part and parcel to home ownership rather than being a subscription.

With the current growth and development of newer clubs, it is often advised that interested individuals compare pricing, subscription fees, services and read a variety of reviews before signing a contract or making payment. For, while some have amazing deals, others are just out to make as much money without any concern for the type of service being offered in return.

While these clubs can often be a good option when looking for discounts on business and vacation travel expenses, individuals must remember that dues, especially those based on an annual basis can often rise in the future. As a result, some individuals can never afford to go on the trips offered by the club because of these dues. As such, it is recommended that individuals always inquire about the possibility of price increases, lifetime subscription options and read all the fine print before signing any type of paperwork related to a club of this nature or those related to time or vacation shares.
