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.

Update-- one of the membership gift cards has $45, the other isn't activated. Interestingly, the one that isn't activated has card number that matches the corresponding invoice for $45 gift of membership so I can take it to the store to fix. The card with $45 does NOT match the invoice for $50 gift card yet has funds loaded. I don't know how this happened.
The guy in the Sam's Club mail room was drunk and put someone else's card in your envelope and your card in someone else's envelope.

I've partially read this thread but didn't see how to activate the 45 dollar gift of membership gift card. I did see that I can be difficult. What's the easiest way to activate? Thank you

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.

Do the $20 and $40 ones not have minimum of 10?

They do not. Only the 10s. But a quick trip to samsclub.com could've answered that for you too.

Free shipping?
Yes

Just wondering would a trip to samsclub.com answer the second question also? ;)

Probably,  but their mobile website is garbage and I avoid it like the black plague

+1. What's the best way at this point ? Should I just buy a membership & get $20 or $40 SC gc's ?

Why bother with membership? Just use a Cali address.

Just FYI, ethical issues aside, you can buy a sc membership and cancel within a year for full refund

I didn't buy a membership and just bought $40 gcs. Was no tax or shipping or any other charges, was $40 flat. I was logged in to an account that had a trial membership on it a month ago but nothing now, maybe something to do with that

You can buy GC's on an 'expired' account with no extra fees or anything. I did all my remaining cards yesterday that way.
