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.

How the hell can a company just start charging shipping for something that was free shipping forever? Not to mention that is the lowest level of customer service I have ever seen!! I actually brought the membership and was taking my time placing orders... And now they charge???
It's brutal.

They are probably figuring that now that they killed the gift cards it's time to start ending anyone's membership that was purchased on an amex

You think they are paying amex for part of the $20?  Does Amazon do that?  Any guesses?

The reason I'm so ticked is because this was a lose/lose situation... Lots of ppl that placed 15-20 orders at a time had them cancelled. So I figured do this right buy the membership, place orders slowly and everything will be fine. I guess that when they ended the $10-$20-$40 ones, was the writing on the wall. /end rant.

Yea on 9/30.. I think there is a quote upthread with a CSR telling someone that the $20 gift cards will be back in stock then...
When Costco had the $25 off $125 Offer last year they actually created a new gift card for $125 now that's customer service!

I think the biggest 'punishment' is if we use scgc to buy wmgc
Which just transfers the $ to 'sister' business

The change in shipping thing is very odd. Anyone read through the membership terms? Are there guideline on when they charge for shipping and how much. Their policy seems to match the professionalism of WM cashiers!
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Who covers the cost of these offers? Amex? The merchant? Split?
