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.

What date did you submit the order? Did you get that as an immediate error message or did you get an email from them a bit later.

Dear Aryeh1

We are unable to refund the shipping on this order.  We had the shipping put on these items due to the promotion that was going on at the time.  We just got informed that we are unable to refund the shipping for this order. 

Sorry for the inconvenience.

If I go to customer service in Walmart would they be able to activate it there if I show them order number and say activation link didn't work? Or do I needa call SAMs club?

I agree, these SC gift cards are a debacle. I've tried everything to activate them and nothing is working. Makes me want to short Wal-Mart stock because their business will probably suffer with such poor service.

Nope. Adding shipping costs has nothing to do with tremendous response.

Terrible customer service through and through. At one point I thought they were turning over a new leaf... But to promise shipping refunds and then back down??? Totally uncool.
