The Offer
- Groupon is selling BJ’s membership for new BJ’s members for just $15 on the basic version (reg. $60) and you’ll get a $15 BJ’s Rewards if you spend $45 within 30 days.
- They also have the enhanced $120 membership on sale for $40, and you’ll get a $40 BJ’s Rewards if you spend $120 within 30 days.
You can also get this offer directly on the BJ’s website at this link. The advantage of doing it through Groupon would just be to use a shopping portal and/or to use up Groupon gift cards or Groupon Bucks. Otherwise, it’s probably easier to do it directly on the BJ’s website.
Our Verdict
These are discounted prices on the BJ’s membership, and then the $15/$40 reward makes it like-free. You can also go through Shopback for 20% back on Groupon today or tomorrow (7/13-7/14/25) so this can actually be a bit of a ‘moneymaker’. See other shopping portal options at this link.
This deal is a bit of a pain since you have to go twice to BJ’s: once to spend the $45 and then again to spend the $15. Hopefully these shoppings can be done online. Or maybe the BJ’s Rewards posts immediately so you can go right back into the club and spend it.
Note: the membership is set up to auto-renew. I always turn that off right away and then decide later in the year if I want to renew.
Works fine with expired account aka sign up for new account with new email. Bj’s and Groupon’s tech stack are dumpster fire. Voucher retrieval doesn’t work on Android web app. BJ’s app doesn’t login with password created online, had to reset password 5 times until it worked. Highly recommend you use a desktop.
I did this same $15/15 bonus from a mailer a few weeks ago, and can confirm the bonus activates from an online purchase (through bjs.com)
The bummer is that BJ’s now has a $50 minimum to order pickup without fees.
What was your membership start date? The date when you make a purshase?
So, as long as the membership is expired, I am considered a new member?
When is the membership start date? Can I buy it from Groupon today but start the Bjs membership in September?
Doesn’t work for me… Click on the link, but the full price shows up when placing the order.
Hmm, I see that. Did you go til the end? Maybe it ends up charging the lower amount
No! I called twice and the phone support was hopeless. They acknowledged seeing the offer, but couldn’t implement it. Groupon seemed to work fine, but I was annoyed by the situation. I was getting it for my parents, so sorry mom and dad.
This is for new members only. If you have a membership that is expiring soon, like I do, you can’t use the same account.
Let me add a note
You can buy the Groupon and link the membership number it gives you to your existing expired account. I did this about a week ago.
Key word is expired. My membership does not expire till 8/31, and this groupon will most likely be gone by then.
I was able to renew my membership for $25 by going on chat and asking if there were any promotions for renewal.
