The spending could comprise multiple transactions that total $20 or more; there is no need for any one transaction to be at least $20.

Sorry, max # of Card Members have enrolled in #AmexSamsClub offer.


If you do not have membership, there is a 10% surcharge on every item on Samsclub.com.

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.

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

When you first go to check out, it'll have added the $45 membership fee, but you can just uncheck it and continue.

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

I did look it up via the app. I didn't have access to a computer.

Those of you who bought the Living Social SC Plus membership, how did you get your free food? The LS says it's loaded to your card, but how would you know what to take to the counter? The LS just says "free package of hoagies, 1.375 lb package of sliced deli ham, etc)

When you bring the LS voucher to SC membership desk, they give you your membership card and the food voucher. Look at the food voucher to see what to get.

Ah, the CSR said that it would be automatically loaded to my card and I would get an email telling me what items qualify. He didn't give me a voucher. That was 2 weeks ago. I forgot about it until now. I checked my emails, nothing there. Do I actually need the voucher to claim my food, or does it just tell me what to get?

Many on this forum who bought the LS deal exchanged the food voucher for a gift card or other food because (some of) the food offered is not kosher. You might get a better answer by calling SC.

+1. What's the best way at this point ? Should I just buy a membership & get $20 or $40 SC gc's ?
Don't bother buying the membership I bought the 40$ cards for 44$(+%10) and the balance on the cards are $44! no money wasted!! also don't bother buying the $45 membership card they do not activate any better as I had to call.... and you pay the %10 additional fee. Activation worked flawlessly on the gift cards I took the advice that someone posted and I did not try to use the card (check the balance) before I clicked the activation link and it seems like it may have helped

Was that a mistake that it had $44 on them or is that the norm ? How long did it take your GC's to arrive ?
