Vendors: Southwest, Disney and Instacart
How to book: Purchase the e-gift cards online through Sam's Club
Travel dates: N/A
Purchase by: Between May 3 and 5

This deal is a three-in-one offer.

First, Sam's Club users can purchase a $500 Southwest Airlines e-gift card for $429.99, saving $70. They can use gift cards to book Southwest travel online, in person or via phone for all Southwest flights. The gift cards do not expire but are nonrefundable. If you happen to be a dual Sam's Club and Costco member, it's worth noting that we also frequently see discounted Southwest gift card deals from Costco.

Sam's Club members also have a chance to save on Disney and Instacart gift cards — though the savings aren't quite as high as with the Southwest deal above. In this instance, you can purchase a $100 Disney gift card for $90 (saving 10%) and a $100 Instacart gift card for $80 (saving 20%).

You can use Disney gift cards at the parks just as you would a credit card to pay for food, drinks, merchandise, tickets and add-on services like Disney Genie+, among other items. If you are staying in a Disney World hotel, you can also visit the front desk of your resort to pay your bill using your Disney gift card. We recommend doing this nightly so the credit card on file isn't automatically charged.

Note that each deal restricts users to two gift cards per person and is nonrefundable. Gift cards will be delivered via email after purchase.

Maximize your purchase

If you buy a gift card, consider using the Bank of America® Customized Cash Rewards credit card for 2% back on wholesale club spending (on up to $2,500 spent on combined purchases every quarter, then 1%). Or, use the Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi (see rates and fees) for 2% cash back on purchases from Costco and costco.com.

Bottom line

This is a limited-time opportunity to save money on Southwest, Disney and Instacart purchases through a two-day discounted gift card sale. While the savings are not particularly significant, remember that these gift cards do not expire, making the deal much more lucrative if you frequent these vendors.

Plus, you can potentially earn bonus points by using the right credit card.
