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.

If my 24hour membership ran out, is there anything I can do besides buying membership or doing the CA trick?
use a different email address and make another guest account

Once I have added an offer to my card it stays there regardless if registration is up, correct?
scroll down to "begin checkout" right above should be a check box uncheck it.

+1 although if you are trying to avoid the California add. Bec of ethical reasons I guess this is just as bad.

No.
The invoice is for the individual item, but the cc gets charged the way you put it in/split it up at the time of placing the order.
Thanks

Your concern is that if you order, say, an item for $11 together with an item for $9 and one item takes a few days longer to ship. They will charge your card as the items ship so that each individual charge is less than $20. For this AmEx offer, it's not a concern. The offer is worded this way:This means you can even order something for $5 today and order something else for $15 in two months and you will still get the credit as soon as the total charged to your card is $20.
This is different from some of the other AmEx offers (such as spend $75+ on your cell phone bill, get $10 back) that require the amount to be charged to your card in a single transaction.
Thank you

He means they have a money back guarantee. Which means cancel because the service stinks (no lie there). It'll cost you nada.

I bought the Groupon deal and ended up not redeeming it. I'll sell it to you for $40 if you want. It comes with a $20 SC GC.

Also, be sure to ask them if you could use the food vouchers for kosher food instead.

-1 it is pretending you live somewhere you don't, unless you have a relative in California.

it's fraud to order stuff for my spouse, with credit cards that belong to both of us? or to pretend I live in CA?

Yes, by price. They just write on the voucher s/t like "May be used for equivalent...". In fact, you could use it for any item, even non-food (up to that value). Despite all the grumbling here about SC, in the store they are very pleasant and accommodating.
