Sam's Club shopping guide: how to save more

How to save at Sam's Club: the smartest ways

1. Join during a membership promotion. As of September 2026, new members who join between July 6 and September 30, 2026 pay $55 for the first year of Plus (normally $120) or $25 for the first year of Club (normally $60).
2. Decide whether Plus pays for itself. Plus costs $60 more than Club at regular price, but it returns 2% in Sam's Cash on qualifying purchases and adds free shipping on eligible orders of $50 or more. If you spend a few thousand dollars a year at Sam's Club, the rewards alone can cover much of the difference.
3. Check instant savings before every trip. Sam's Club runs instant savings that apply automatically at checkout, with no coupon to clip. Browse the Savings hub online or in the app before you shop.
4. Shop clearance. The Savings section links to clearance items across grocery, home, electronics, health and beauty, clothing and baby. Clearance stock varies by club, so check your local club in the app.
5. Use member fuel prices. Both Club and Plus members get member pricing at Sam's Club fuel stations, which can add up quickly for commuters.
6. Stack card rewards on fuel. Through September 30, 2026, new Sam's Club credit card accounts can earn 10% back on fuel, subject to approval and the card terms.
7. Buy tires as a set if you are a Plus member. Plus members get free installation, valued at $80, with the purchase of four tires at participating Sam's Club tire and battery centers.
8. Use free curbside pickup. Both membership tiers include free curbside pickup, which helps you avoid shipping fees and impulse buys in the aisles.
9. Buy seasonal items early. Seasonal lines such as Halloween candy variety packs and costumes appear weeks ahead of the holiday. Buying early gives you the best selection, and leftover seasonal stock often moves to clearance afterward.

Shipping & delivery options

Sam's Club offers several ways to get your order. Plus members get free shipping on eligible items totaling $50 or more, along with free same-day or next-day delivery from their club on eligible orders over $50. Club members can still order for shipping or delivery, but fees may apply, so check the total at checkout.

• Curbside pickup: free for both Club and Plus members.
• Delivery from club: same-day or next-day delivery from your local club, free for Plus members on eligible orders over $50.
• Shipping: eligible items ship to your home; free for Plus members on eligible orders of $50 or more.

EBT is accepted on eligible items for curbside pickup, delivery from club and express delivery, which is helpful for households using SNAP benefits.

Return & exchange policy

As of September 2026, Sam's Club says that if you are a current member and not satisfied with a purchase made online or in club, it will issue a refund or replacement, with a few exceptions. Refunds go back as cash or credit depending on your original form of payment.

• Categories with specific policies: electronics, major appliances, cell phones, gift cards, tickets, custom items, prescriptions, alcohol, tires and batteries, cigarettes, eyeglasses and hearing aids. Check the item's product page for its specific rules before buying.
• Online returns: start a return from the order details in your account or by calling 1-888-746-7726, then attach the printed return label. Most online purchases can also be returned at a club.
• In-club purchases: these cannot be returned through SamsClub.com, so take them back to a club.
• Shipping charges: refunded only if the return is due to a Sam's Club error or damage in shipping.
• Bulk orders: volume purchases (10 or more units, or orders over $10,000) can only be returned for manufacturer defects.

Membership & Sam's Cash explained

Sam's Club has two membership tiers. Club membership costs $60 a year at regular price and includes instant savings, member fuel prices, the satisfaction guarantee, Scan & Go, two membership cards, free curbside pickup, access to the Sam's Club Mastercard and bonus offers.

Plus membership costs $120 a year at regular price and adds 2% Sam's Cash rewards, free shipping on orders over $50, free delivery from club on orders over $50, early shopping hours, and savings on pharmacy, optical and tire and battery services. Sam's Cash can be applied toward future purchases. The Savings hub also lists Sam's Cash promotions, where select items earn extra Sam's Cash.

Student, military, teacher & other discounts

As of September 2026, the Sam's Club join page does not list a student, military or teacher membership discount. The best general savings for new members are the first-year membership promotions. Check the Sam's Club website or ask at your club for any current group offers before you join.

Price matching & price adjustments

We could not confirm a price match or price adjustment policy on the Sam's Club website as of September 2026. If a price drops shortly after you buy, contact member services or ask at your club. Instant savings apply automatically at checkout, so you do not need to request them.

Payment options

Sam's Club accepts EBT on eligible items for curbside pickup, delivery from club and express delivery. It also offers the Sam's Club credit card and Sam's Club Mastercard, managed through Synchrony. Other accepted payment methods can be confirmed at checkout.

When Sam's Club has its biggest sales

• Monthly instant savings: new instant savings roll out regularly, so check the Savings hub each month.
• Membership promotions: discounted first-year memberships appear several times a year; the current offer runs through September 30, 2026.
• Back-to-school and Halloween: late summer and early fall bring deals on snacks, supplies, candy and costumes.
• Black Friday and holiday season: November and December typically bring the biggest electronics, toy and home deals of the year.

How to use a Sam's Club promo code

Most Sam's Club savings do not need a code. Instant savings are applied automatically at checkout, and membership offers are applied when you join through the official join page. If you do receive a promo code, for example in a member email, enter it in the promo code field at checkout on SamsClub.com or in the app and confirm the discount appears before you place your order. You can review current membership offers on the Sam's Club join page.
