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.

Any chance that sams club added the shipping charge to slow down the pace of orders so they can restock and get a handle on the situation?
And once they get control of the situation and restock for the party, they will take off the shipping charge...

Why upset all the countless new customers you suddenly got ? Don't they want us to continue shopping by them after the amex promo ?

Btw according to their customer service they switch vendors all the time... Hence the new shipping charge. When I pointed out that this is for their own cards, she said she can open a ticket to send to cooperate... Any point?

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

Maybe. At least let them deal with a flood of complaints. Whether it will change anything... doubt it  :-\

Yup, they don't even try to hide it! When I was on the phone I told her I am currently a member of costco and I am giving SAMs a try but this game they play is going to send me right back to costco. She didn't even bat an eyelash(nothing like sorry we would hate to lose customers), just said ok.

Depends on the deal.
No way is SC footing the while bill for this one.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Just got a whole bunch of SC gift cards in the mail. Each order shipped in a large yellow bubble envelope. Anyone know how to activate these cards? Doesn't work when I try to activate them online via my account.

There are lots of numbers on the packaging, but not the numbers I need. They ask for an "activation code" which is supposed to be received by email. I got only one email with an activation code, and even that one activation code does not work.
