Our Verdict

BJ’s does sell third party gift cards (at least it does online, but purchases need to be in-club for the 5% offer). A lot of them are discounted online, not sure if that applies in-club as well. The membership deal is basically free membership if you’d spend $25 in club anyway, so pretty good. Obvious that American Express aren’t too happy with Costo leaving them and other warehouse clubs see this as their chance to try and grab some market share. If anybody knows what BJ’s range of giftcards is like in club and if they are also discounted, let us know in the comments.
