BJ’s, Costco and Sam’s Club can provide discounts, but be sure to comparison shop

You go to warehouse clubs like BJ’s, Costco and Sam’s Club to save money when buying bulk groceries. But have you ever thought you could find similar deals for travel services? These clubs offer members travel deals ranging from full vacation packages to cruises, car rentals, hotel rooms and theme park tickets.
 
But to what extent do the warehouse clubs really deliver on their promised savings, including 55-and-over discounts? And can you depend on the clubs to deliver travel services as well as a travel agency does?

    Okay, just to clarify, booking with ANY site other than the property/company is imo foolish (based on experience with AARP Expedia for NOLA AARP Conference, booked for my mom and I, when hotel advised they did not have the reservation and AARP Expedia basically responded "Not our problem"...)

     

    Since then, learned travel industry standards and for clarity, only use 2nd or 3rd party booking sites IF YOU CAN AFFORD TO BUY THE TRIP TWICE, because you might have to.

     

    Just saying, to stay safer regarding travel money, use the site the company owns.
