Sam's Club membership benefits
Wondering if a Sam's Club membership is worth it? Here's a closer look at some of the benefits you can take advantage of upon joining.
Same-day delivery: Want to skip a trip to the store? Sam's Club members can order eligible items by 1 p.m. local time and have them delivered to their doorstep that same day. After placing your order online or in the Sam's Club app, you'll receive a confirmation email with a link to track progress in real time. Note that there’s currently a $12 fee per order for Club members ($8 for Plus members) for this service and no order minimum.
Curbside pickup: Sam's Club members can take advantage of free curbside pickup for orders of $50 or more. (Orders under $50 incur a $4 fee.)
'Scan & Go' shopping: Members who prefer to shop in person can take advantage of the retailer's Scan & Go feature to speed up their trip. Once you've arrived at your local store, open the Sam’s Club app and click the Scan & Go icon at the bottom of your screen. Each time you grab an item to purchase, scan the barcode to add it to your virtual cart as well. When you’re finished shopping, slide the bar to pay in the app. This way, you can skip checkout lines and head to the door with your digital receipt. Interested in an item that's out of stock, or too big to lug home? You can scan the barcode while you're in the store and ship it to your home.
Access to members-only sale events: Sam's Club regularly runs "Instant Savings" events with exclusive discounts for members.
Fuel discounts: High gas prices have nothing on you! Save when you fill up your car at select locations.
Complimentary membership: Once you join, a household member can sign up for free. That's two memberships for half the price of one!
Sam's Club Plus membership deal and benefits
Sam’s Club also has a premium Plus membership for $110 per year, but it’s currently on a limited time offer for just $70. This offer is slated to end Jan. 31, 2026 so don’t wait to grab it if you’re wanting a few extra benefits!
Here are a few perks that set Plus apart from the classic membership.
Free shipping and curbside pickup: Free shipping for Plus members is available on qualifying orders of $50 or more. They can also take advantage of free curbside pickup. A staff member will even load your car for you!
Same-day delivery: Plus members previously paid $8 for same-day delivery, but this service is now free for Plus members on qualifying orders of $50 or more.
Cash back: Plus members can earn 2 percent cash back on qualifying purchases (with a cap at $500 per year).
Pharmacy and optical savings: Looking to save on prescriptions? Sam's Club says it offers Plus members more than 600 generic brands starting at $4. Plus members can also score free shipping on contact lenses and save 20% on a new pair of eyeglasses.
