Sam's Club Once-in-a-Lifetime Packages For 2006
Neiman Marcus isn't the only company to get epically splurgy for the holidays. Sam's Club offers several Once-in-a-Lifetime packages. The ultimate in extravagance is the Citation Mustang Jet Package which includes the Citation Mustang, S/N 510-0002, private jet transportation to Cessna Headquarters to choose your exterior and interior options, private jet transportation to pickup your new Cessna Citation Mustang Jet at the end of 2007 when it is ready and a lifetime Advantage Plus membership to Sam's Club. The package is available for purchase on November 9, 2006 and sells for $2,734,600. The other packages are a lot less pricey but a bit more ephemeral. For $71,000 you can pick up the Pro Football Championship XLI package which includes four Lower-Level Premium tickets to the Championship game in Miami in February as well as four passes to the official tailgate event before the game, playing spots for two in the Championship Games' Golf Showcase, VIP tickets to the Player of the Year Awards, access to Dan Marino's VIP party at Nikki Beach and a Samsung Digital home theater package that includes a television, DVD player, DVD camcorder and more. For $44,000 you can fly to London to see Tony Bennett play and meet him in person. The package includes backstage passes, VIP concert tickets, a signed Tony Bennett lithograph, five nights deluxe accommodations and a traditional Scottish dinner for four.

Interesting. But the question is do they sell concrete sealer? I do. :)

The wealthy have to buy gifts ''somewhere". Maybe they are getting a "bargain" and we just don't know it because THESE PRICES are so high to us. It is nice to dream, though, and you have to admit that they picked some "unique" gifts.

personally I get slightly ill when I see the conspicuous consumption. I have no problem with the wealthy spending big money but to flaunt it is Tres` gauche. the rich don't need sam's Club to put packages together for them, they know where to get a Diamond or an airplane , this is simply to enhamce their tawdry business and improve their bargain basement image. Can't be done, they should stick to 36 roll packages of TP and 5 LB jars of jelly.......I get tired of the Southern Trailer Trash Contingent called "Walmart" and Sam's club whining Ad NAseum that they have the same right to the ranks of the people with "Real Class' perhaps Hillary and Bill will sign on as their model Spokespeople .Now there's class alright ...low class.

$44,000 to meet Tony Bennett?
Rita A Oct 13th 2006 10:04PM
Hmmm...Southern Trailer Trash? People with real class?
I am quite sure your neighbor who is employed by Wal-mart or Sam's or shops them would be quite appalled at the lack of class you have displayed for all to see. The screen appears to be "green" at the moment...

Gee hope I win the lottery - maybe then I can afford to shop at Sam's. The owner of our company - who happens to be a multibillionaire - is to busy cutting our benefits so he can afford these trinkets. Poor guy. Since he is cutting dependent life insurance my cancer afflicted wife will not be able to get it at all. Thanks Mr. billionaire guess you don't need life insurance.
Jen Oct 13th 2006 10:11PM
Well those would be nice gifts if I had a Donald Trumps money, but I have somethig he might be lacking, an imagination...I can afford great gifts on that, and the mean more since I took the time to come up with it.
Cindi Oct 13th 2006 10:29PM
The 71,000.00 dollar one looks really yummy...
Mark Oct 13th 2006 10:30PM
I'll take one in Candy Apple red and Sam can keep his card.

Sam Walton is spinning in his grave.....again.
Terry Oct 14th 2006 11:18AM
Initially those "sale" items seem absurd and wastefully stupid...but then I thought...think of all the people that are employed catering to super-rich folks vanity!!
Little Stinker Oct 13th 2006 10:47PM
((((((THE STINKING RICH WILL ALWAYS BE STINKING ))))))
when people go hungry because of greed there is a problem.
when the stinking rich by expensive cars and start storing them like there is no tommarow there is a problem.
When people talk about the greed and no one listens there is a problem.
I dont care to talk to the ultra rich greedy people of the world.
You could not hire me.
You could not give me your money.
Because I have somthing that the rich can not buy that is respect.
Jennifer Oct 13th 2006 10:53PM
I think those gifts are the stupidest things I ever heard of. I am poor as shit, and I still wouldn't want anything listed on there. Maybe a $71,000 gift card from Sams would be nice though.
Grace Oct 13th 2006 11:30PM
Gee, I think the Walton offspring will LOVE this AND they will be able to afford it. Their billions grow as they increase profits by cutting benefits to their workers. Oh, that is OK - I guess they can just go to emergency rooms at taxpayers expense.
Perhaps this family should take a few hints from Mr. and Mrs. Bill Gates. Bill Gates who treats his thousands of employees VERY well as well as the underpriviledged people in the world.
Wal-mart/Sam's Club could well take a lesson from Jim Sinegal (CEO of Costco). There is a man who knows how to run a successful organization and treat his employees well - note profits announced today.
I have been to a Wal-mart one time and a Sam's Club - one time. I will not return. Their employees do not give a damn - why should they - their employer does not either.

I think this is another way for Big Business to make money. Of course it does not mean that Sam's or Walmart is "Southern Trailer Trash" as mentioned by another person...I hate that term "Trailer Trash" for one thing. The problem with people who use this terminolgy is that they do not have a clue that a home is still a home, whether it is a fancy, cozy new Brick home, or a simple, but cozy little trailer.The real truth is, everyone has dreams and ideas on what they would like in life. The problem is, so many never get near that dream. It is not from lack of trying. But, if you could look beyond that trailer, you might find a single parent trying to raise children alone, working two jobs just to get by. You might find a mand and wife that both work or both are in bad health. So people need to think before they throw everyone into a prejudged Trailer Trash group. That term has run its course. Please, everyone, give it a rest. Thanks. It would be awful for those who judge like that if the Father decided to give you a trailer to live in. Hey, its a roof over the head.
