Hat tip to reader Jay
Sam’s is offering $20 deal again, but Swagbucks still shows $25. Has anyone been able to stack both deals to get 50% back SB?
Nvm, SB updated to $20. Deal is back!
Mine expired around April 15. I used a new email and once again started with a google voice number (no issue using a cc as payment method I am minimum spending that was on the prior Sam’s account). Hours delay on receiving Sam’s texts on that latter number, but the code quickly emailed and worked fine for getting back on the app (cleared data when I signed up). I used DoC’s referral to SB. So hopefully he gets something off that for the value provided. For 20, even before a rebate, works, since Sam’s is about a block from me in the Alamo city and I needed a full tank which 2.379 a gallon Tuesday was quite good.
patiently waiting for SC to open at least one store in the area while we have “2 Costco within 20 miles without any competition” (quoted from a friend). not gonna drive 200 miles one way to the nearest SC
Seems like Sam’s is still on Pepper
I’m already a Costco member, would I gain anything by joining SC?
Sure, if you think your wallet doesn’t have enough membership cards collecting dust.
I have both. Sam’s is generally better for fresh grocery, like meat, vegetable. It has some better products, too.
The lines are absolutely insane at Costco. Scan and go is a game changer. You never stop at a register or wait in line. You scan the item barcode you put it in your cart, you hit done and it charges your card and sends you a QR code to show the person at the door. They’ve never stopped me or scanned the code
VALUABLE DATAPOINT: My Sam’s Club Membership expired 12/7/2024 and since then I’ve been unable to get new member pricing on new memberships as it would always say “This offer is for new members, you have to renew!” However, it has now been 6 months and it let me join as a new member despite using THE EXACT SAME INFO (including email, name, address, phone, etc.). The key is when your membership expires you have to manually nuke your online Sam’s Club account too. That starts the 6 month clock for the hard deletion of your data. Your welcome all!
P.S. Wish I would’ve waited until it was free, but $10 is fine. Next time!
How do I go about ‘nuking’ the account?
I can’t find any option to delete the account and its information.
I can’t find it either.

You can delete your Sam’s Club account within the Sam’s Club app at any time. Please visit the “Account” section of the app and select “Request to Delete Online Account”.
Doesn’t expiration of your account likewise start the six-month clock? Aren’t you considered a new member six months later, either way?
Joined and added P2 to my new membership for free via the app. How does SHE login the first time to Sams app? She has the membership number in hand.
Sam’s is loose on “new memmber” . I’ve been a new member for 4 years and gotten new member pricing (never more than $20) by using phony info then once you get a log in change it to all the info you actually want to use immediately.
Keep in mind they are heavily pushing scan and go which requires a saved card and location info in the app which basically eliminated sharing for me. It’s dam near impossible to get a physical card from the stores now around me and they insist you use the app.
I tried a different email but it still gave me the “this info is already associated with an account.” If I create it with everything made up will it work? I’m used to these types of things requiring you to click a link in your email or something. I guess I’m trying to figure out what they’re using to match up in their system that I already have an account? I tried an email address that I’ve never used but it still popped up. So it must be payment method, or address or some combination of these.
I have 3 diff phones logged into same account we just have to change and verify every now and then but has worked for us for sharing.
But they have to use a linked card for gas in app via QR code is my issue. Won’t let you swipe any card at the pump unless you use a physically membership card say if you want let friends, family or your sneaky link get gas with your membership
Oh yeah we share the card too. If you have Walmart plus via Amex plat that’s a workaround for gas
This is weak sauce. Free or nothing.
I got $75 from Ark7, and $60 from Mega Bonanza and Stake.US from Swagbucks recently. Easy bonuses.
