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.

Got four of my GC's today. None of them worked with the activation code and i had to initiate a request from SC. This seems like it will be annoying.

If indeed this was meant as a way for amex to get the SC account instead of Costco good luck with that now...

Were they able to activate it?

Side point: they appear to work online at samsclub.com without activation, but I can't be 100% sure.

And when I said I was going back to costco... His response was that they pride themselves in the money back guarantee on membership, so I wasn't going to lose any money by canceling!
Got to remember that when the CA address trick stops working! Suprised Dan didn't mention it!

Thats the horse I'm riding in this one. It was a show of force by Amex that their cardholders are loyal and will buy stuff when its suggested. How many times have you bought from anu Visa or MC offer made to you? How many such offers are even pertinent to your daily shopping. If it was a marketing pitch, i think it went swimmingly well.

Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

+1  There's nothing they can do to prevent people from actyually using the amex cards other than stopping to accept amex which i am sure will cost them in contract losses.  Side point, i got 3 MC gc today, all activated. Will probably go out to target to double check that they work and have no pin and can do split tender

I don't see why they would do that.  Maybe OP can elaborate.

I think all of us who have had orders cancelled should file complaints with the Better Business Bureau of Arkansas, as SC Corporate Headquarters is in Bentonville, AR. While they may not intervene for one case, if they get 100 complaints within a few days, it's sure to get their attention.
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

All my orders that got canceled I replaced and they went through, I know I have an issue with my address and for some reason they randomly "verify" information and it doesn't match exactly so they think it's "fraud".
