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've purchased GC's with SCGC before. The variable load Vanilla did not work, but others did.

Has anybody had problems with activation of third-party gift cards like Disney, or is that problem just for Sam's Club gift cards?

Do I shouldn't expect any issues with non-SC gift cards?

I haven't had issues with SC GC activation emails either. But certainly not with third party GC

Anyone get the credit multiple times for one AMEX card?

I ordered immediately after the deal became active and it disappeared from my offers and went to redeemed. This morning I checked my AMEX offers and it was once again under added deals. I bought another GC and immediately received the email saying I would get the credit a second time. Now, it still shows as an available deal on my account (granted my second purchase is still pending).

If you don't get it a second time they may manually add for you once you show them the email....

I know multiple credits have been YMMV when using one AMEX card. I just think its weird that the offer disappeared from my added deals section for months and then suddenly reappeared. Makes me wonder if I can keep redeeming it as long as the offer shows up in that column. I think the max for people in the past has been 12 or so of the same offer for one deal

You're saying you got the $20 sc offer more than once on the same card?

It's also quite strange it reappeared since the deal is essentially dead. It's maxed out for everyone...

Yup. This is the same exact card I used this time around. Got the credit 1st time around. Now, got another email for credit after 2nd purchase on the same exact card. Don't think its a new sam's club offer because it has the same expiration date as the last one.

+ I check my Amex Offers almost every couple days and know for sure that it wasn't there last time I checked Saturday morning. (its easy for me to remember because I only have 2 amex cards and no authorized users)

Any chance you returned the first item you bought with the offer?

Nope. Bought a Dunkin Donuts gift card and have had 0 contact with sam's club since then. just placed a 3rd order. didnt get another offer used email which is disappointing but im hopeful that I will get credit for both this 2nd and 3rd order.

Can someone explain how to activate the cards?
You get two emails when they ship the card to you. The one with the subject "Your SamsClub.com order has shipped" shows the shipping address, billing info and tracking number. The one with the subject "Your Sam's Club Gift Card has Shipped" has the activation link. Step one: Log into your samsclub.com account using your default browser (i.e., the web browser that will open when you click links in your email). Step 2: Click the activation link in the aforementioned email. Step 3: Wait 30 minutes.
For best results, skip step 0, which is trying to use the card before it is activated. IME, that could cause subsequent activation attempts to fail.
The above steps are identical for gift of membership and regular gift cards.
