A Wholesale Travel Club is a private, members-only travel portal that gives employees access to prices not available on public travel websites. These are bulk-rate deals, negotiated directly with hotels, resorts, cruise lines, and tour providers—often at savings of 40% to 70% below retail.
Unlike coupon codes or seasonal offers, this benefit includes:
24/7 access to a searchable platform
No blackout dates or booking restrictions
Price comparisons against major public travel engines
Bonus credits for bookings and loyalty perks
Deep discounts on hotels, flights, cruises, rental cars, and more
Employees can browse and book vacations at insider rates—saving hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year.
You don’t need to overhaul your benefits system to offer this. The Wholesale Travel Club is packaged as part of your company’s Section 125 Cafeteria Plan, meaning employees can elect it with pre-tax dollars.
That means:
You lower your payroll tax burden by reducing taxable wages
Employees pay less income tax on their benefit contributions
Everyone wins—and the cost stays incredibly low
Think of it as a wellness benefit that goes beyond office walls. It encourages time off, supports mental health, and creates lasting loyalty.
Let’s be honest: health insurance and retirement plans are expected. But travel perks? That’s exciting. That gets employees talking. And that helps you stand out in a competitive job market.
Here’s why the Wholesale Travel Club deserves a spot in your 125 Plan:
Offering this benefit signals that you care about more than just productivity—you care about your people.
This benefit fits nearly any team, but it’s especially powerful for:
Remote workers who love flexible travel
Frontline staff who rarely receive premium perks
Young professionals eager for affordable adventures
Parents planning family trips on a budget
Employees without large PTO banks, who need to maximize their time off
Even if just a few employees use it regularly, it can become the most-loved benefit in your package.
For employers: Offering this travel benefit costs much less than a bonus or raise. And by reducing taxable wages through pre-tax deductions, you’ll save up to 7.65% in FICA payroll taxes.
For employees: They get access to thousands of dollars in travel savings every year—without spending anything out of pocket, because their contribution comes directly from pre-tax payroll.
For your company: You increase benefit value without increasing overhead. And you offer something your competitors likely don’t.
