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.

I tried to buy Visa GC at self checkout and could not. I brought it to a cashier, who told me they can't accept the Walmart GC as payment for this item or any other GC. How would you answer recklessmax's question?

The fact that you believed the cashier without trying should answer your question.

Okay, I tried again with a $50 vgc. This was a card with a barcode partially printed on the cardboard wrapping and partially on the plastic card within. It seemed like it could have worked if only I would have had a Walmart GC with a magnetic strip to pay with. I only had an egift card as a barcode on my phone, but the barcode scanner could not be used to scan it as payment nor could it by typed manually; it had to be swiped on the MSR. The cashier managing the self checkout was willing to "suspend" the transaction so that the payment could be made at her station, but the machine would not allow it to be suspended, presumably because one of the items was a gift card. I did not try buying the variable vgc or any other merchant GC at self checkout yet.

Not the case. And it's giving me the same "please enter a valid zip" even when I hit edit on my shipping address, unrelated to cc. I tried putting in Brooklyn with 11204, had no prob. That's not going to help me with my billing address though

Does the Android app allow us to remove the membership $45 fee? The iPhone app did at one point for me, but not anymore.

You're right, this somehow seems to be the issue. In the end I entered card info on the regular site, I was then able to use the saved cards on the app without a problem. I did have to ship to Brooklyn though as it couldn't get over thinking Lakewood's zip was invalid in the shopping address
