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.

Try checking the card balance on the website. It may work (meaning that the card may already be active and the link is bad).

When I opened link it said activation pending. Now it says activation "Gift Card has already been sent for activation". How long should that take?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

When buying a $50 SCGC, why are people paying the last $10 out of pocket? Why not use 3 CCs? $20, on 1, $20 on 1, and $10 on the last - then do the same with the next order, using the last $10 from the 3rd CC of the previous order?

They only allow 2 CC's per purchase...

Wow, I'm an idiot :), been placing these orders for weeks, of course I knew that. Got confused for a sec with using GCs (up to 4 per order). My bad, thanks.

Usually that's enough. Some ppl have luck with them working in Walmart without activation as well.

Clicked on all the links in the activation emails about a week ago. None of them are working - tried online at walmart.com. I called up, and they said they are aware there is a problem, and I need to give each card number and they are submitting tickets to escalate to the right department to take care of it.   We shall see!!
