From the Sam’s Club Refund Policy: "We will refund any Member's membership, in full, at any time, if they are NOT satisfied for any reason."

Gift cards
You can buy gift cards at samsclub.com to get the Amex credit. Samsclub.com sells many physical and egift cards at a discount. You can also buy Sam's Club gift cards at face value with free shipping. Sam's Club gift cards can be used either at Sam's Club in club, samsclub.com, at Walmart stores and walmart.com.
Gift of membership cards can be used as regular $45 gift cards. If you ship these to most states, sales tax is added to your order but your card will still only be worth $45. You will get your full value only if you can ship them to one of the few states where sales tax is not added.
For a completely free purchase, use the Sam's Club Android app to buy two $10 Sam's Club gift cards, or four of them if you are splitting the payment between two enrolled Amex cards. (There is a minimum quantity of 10 cards if you order these on the web site; the Android app does not have this minimum.)

Offer Valid Until 9/30/15.

1)Note that the charge has to post by that date. Be sure to order at least a few days before then to give time for the order to process.

2)Note that purchasing an item with an Amex and returning it in store, will result in a refund on your Amex card, not store credit or cash.

Did they take away the option to split payment on to two credit cards at checkout?  I'm not seeing it anymore...but maybe I'm just missing something.

Did you check multiple payment boxes?

How many cards have you added as payment methods?

Ahh, that was the problem - I didn't hit "save payment info" when I put the first one in, so when I added the second, it kicked the first one out.  Thanks Marco Polo!

The wait was worth it! Sorry I got busy on Friday and totally forgot to post.. But yes, I can confirm that the gift of membership card is indeed a gift card with a pin and everything.... It is used exactly as a gift card in both walmart stores and sams club. Activation is also easier I just clicked activate on the email they sent, and 10 min later the card was up and running... One word of caution: when ordering in several states there will be tax for the membership (I did one to a tax free state, and one to a tax state). The only way to avoid that tax is to physically ship to a state that doesen't charge tax (Ohio, Florida, etc..). If your card does get the extra tax charge your gift card will NOT reflect that. It's a royal pain to get them to add it at the store. I did, but not worth the effort.
Thanks for the tip and apologies for my earlier skepticism. I ordered four of them and sent to FL with no sales tax. It's just what you said it would be.

Has anybody figured out a way to consistently activated these problematic gift cards? Mine came yesterday but I still can't get them to activate. I called twice and they opened a reference ticket and told me to wait a few days.

I called the number on the back of my gift cards and the representative activated it immediately, no reference ticket or nothin! Of course, the receipt with the gift cards didn't mention needing activation, I only figured it out after trying to make a walmart purchase and the gift card wouldn't work.

I assume you tried clicking the link in the email first and it didn't work?

I had an issue, which I realized afterwards was my fault, as I clicked the wrong link.. Anyways, a very helpful phone rep was able to activate it on the spot..

I bought a membership a few months ago on 2 amex cards and got the $20 credit on each I want to cancel the membership now if I spend another $20 on each of those cards will I still keep my credit even though the original charge was refunded?

The original credit should be clawed back and you will receive a new credit

Hmm I doubt it. The offer is not available again on your card until the old charge is reversed

They cancel the order if you pay for gift card with gift card. You can pay with two credit cards.
