Sam’s Club is offering a $20 gift card plus $100 worth in in instant savings when you sign up for their Plus membership and all you pay is $45. That is the price of their basic membership. Sam’s Plus membership costs $100. So you are getting a total of $220 worth for just $45.
To get the offer, go here and enter your email. You will receive a coupon that can then be redeemed in-store.
Amex Offer
While that is a good offer, it can become great when combined with the current targeted Amex Offer. With that offer, you get a 1X $45 statement credit by using your enrolled Card to spend $45+ in a single transaction in-Club on a new Sam’s Club Membership at any Sam’s Club location in the 50 U.S. states by 9/30/16.
So you don’t pay anything out of pocket at all, and you still get Sam’s Plus membership, the $20 gift card and the $100 in savings. HT: DoC
Mastercard Offer For Renewals
If you’re a current member then you can’t take advantage of this offer, but you can use another offer by Mastercard. With this offer you get $35 Sam’s Club gift card when you join or renew as a Sam’s Plus member, or $20 Sam’s Club gift card when you join or renew as a Sam’s Savings or Sam’s Business member.
To receive this offer you need to print it and present it at a Member Services Desk at your local club, along with a Mastercard that should be used for the membership fee.
This offer is valid through December 31, 2016.
I bit and got it taken care of today. This was my second membership (old one ended last summer). It did however take me over half an hour and the girl I think screwed up on my membership, leaving me with no upgrade. Had to have a manager come over for the third time in the process to get it squared away and fix the upgrade issue.
Anyone who is a Costco member would REALLY notice a significant drop off in quality of service at Sams. Both in perishables as well as customer service. Maybe its YMMV but everyone I’ve talked to virtually agrees they’re a poor mans Costco.
I’m still waiting on the amex offer (duh) but what is mildly discouraging is I didn’t receive the Congrats you’ve used …” email for triggering the offer. Maybe it requires it to post to your account so they can determine if its a purchase or if its a new membership? Either way, I’ll have to keep an eye on that.
All in all, for a free $20gc (BBQ burgers on you Sams), pizza, salad and cookies who am I to say no? Sure, I wasted half an hour of my life at the counter but I’m sure the membership will come in handy at least once or twice like it did last year.
Thanks for the details info. I wanted to sign up when the Amex offer came out, but never got around to it.
I always thought Sam’s Club was a step higher than Costco, but then again I have yet to step into a Sam’s Club. Sucks that you had to be there for half hour.
Good stuff. I have the amex offer on a few cards. This is probably the best combo I’ve seen for new sams members
