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.

Which part? I had to pay tax, but I've used them without any issues at all. Activated them with the link in the original email.

I used one trial account to do 7 orders, I think. I did 'em pretty quickly, though not insanely fast, and they were all fine.

I tried making multiple $15 gift card purchases at Walmart last year, and I got a call from their orders department. You didn't have any problems with 7 orders at Sam's Club? Were they all on the same day?

I referred a few people to SC a while back, and never got the $10 gift cards. Anyone else have this?

Recheck the emails they sent to thank you for referring. There is a link on the bottom to a $10 egift card.

They were all within 30-45 minutes, I'd say.

Hmm... only got one. I wonder if the rest of the people didn't sign up with my link in the end.

I've gone back and forth with samsclub for a month now over these gift cards. i have a rep that is willing to give me a refund on them, but will that cause amex to clawback the $20 credits if a refund is applied?

If the card gets refunded amex will probably claw back the credit.

Are the GC's not usable at this point?

no they have been "waiting for corporate" to activate these cards forever. like 5x calling. she said if i were to exchange for amex GC then she would need to refund and charge again, likely to incur an amex clawback

There should be a department that can do it for you on the phone. Have you tried to use the GC's?

Had the same issue with 3 of my GCs. Gave them multiple calls but still hasn't been resolved. At this point, I gave up with dealing with Sam's Club, so will be disputing the charges with AMEX. Don't care about the credit now.

Why are you buying $10's? Can't split pay for a $20 card?

They don't have $20's.
I bought 4x 10 using 2 cards. I believe that it can only be done on Android. Otherwise there is a 10 minimum.

You must have finished a while ago as they haven't had those in a while.

I used 2 AMEX to guy a $45 gift of membership and another 2 AMEX to buy $50 SC gift card. Today in the mail, I got 2 gifts of membership even though the receipt of one of them says $50 gift card. Basically, I got shortchanged $5. Any thoughts on whether or not it's worth contacting SC about this? If it's going to involve a return
of the purchase, I'm not interested. If they're just going to credit me $5, I'll do it.
