Sam's Club membership

Why it worked

The video taps into a common desire for saving money on travel, a relatable expense for many. By highlighting a specific, often overlooked benefit of a popular membership program, it provides actionable value and encourages engagement through sharing personal experiences.

Summary

The video reveals a lesser-known benefit of Sam's Club membership: discounted rental cars. The creator demonstrates how to access these discounts through the Sam's Club app or website and shares a comparison showing Sam's Club often offers better deals than Costco for rental cars, with the added advantage of no deposit required.

Transcript

doing the saving money series, this time we're talking Sam's club memberships. So, if you've been following me, I've talked to orison, I've talked to Costa, let's talk to Sam. If you didn't know, your Sam's club membership also comes with travel benefit. Cars through your Sam's club membership. Just go to the app or online, log into your account and then go to travel, click on rental car. I actually did a comparison of same dates, same location of Costa to Sam's. Sam's was actually cheaper. I can actually share the screenshots of the dates and the locations that I was looking at. But Sam's actually came in considerably cheaper. and Coco has always been cheaper for me. So I don't know if it's just because of the date, the location because everything changes. If you didn't know, rental cars along with flights and all those things vacation planning change day to day, hour to hour. They literally change as you're looking. And so just because I bought a car rental today, I'm going to keep checking to see if that price continues to drop. And if it does, I'm going to cancel and reboot. thing about Coco and Sam is you don't have to pay a deposit, which is huge to you're not out any money if you book it because you're like, I might go on a trip or I'm going to keep watching the price, but this isn't too bad. Don't have to pay a deposit. You literally just put your information in to reserve your spot and then when you get to the airport, because I'm typically booking an airport location, you go to whichever counter you reserved, Avis, Enterprise, LMO, budget, whichever one you're using. You go to that counter and you do your you complete your reservation at the counter. You don't go to the store, you don't go to the Sam store, there are whatever location you chose. So you can choose the airport because obviously that's the most convenient, but you can literally choose neighborhood locations as well. Airports are typically cheap. Let me know if you guys are seeing this. Let me know if it's working for you. Let me know how much you're saving.
