Our Verdict
This is similar to the previous deal offered and also similar to the Gilt deal we posted yesterday. You can also try to get another $20 gift card & $10 via referral from following these steps. Might also be worth waiting for another AmEx offer to come along.
I did the steps from the Reddit link above. I was able to get $90 ($45 x 2) Instant Savings, $10 CB, still waiting for another $20 Gift Card, hasn’t come yet but it’s only been 1 day. Thanks!

Were the instant savings applied as a discount to the order or is it like a statement credit ? I just signed up and im creating my order
Can this be used for gas?
“Purchases of alcoholic beverages, tobacco, milk, fuel, pharmacy, gift cards, memberships or shipping costs are not included in this offer. ”
So, you can’t use the Initial $45 savings offer on gas, but you can, of course, use your membership to purchase gas at Sam’s usually discounted prices.
The nice thing about this deal is that you’re eligible even if you recently had a Sam’s Club membership. My membership expired in early March, and I was able to get this deal. All I had to do was use a different email to register. This is the fourth time I’ve gotten a free Sam’s Club membership. Each time I register with a different email. All of my other info is the same.
I let my membership lapse in late February.
Can I get in on this deal using the same old account #/login?
When I have tried to do new account Sam’s Club special offers in the past, it required me to use a different e-mail address. Notice it doesn’t send you the e-mail when you request a coupon. All my other account info, name, address, phone, etc. was the same.
But, it looks like this one is not that way, because you can just click join now. YMMV.
If it was me, I would go with a new e-mail address just to be safe.
I did this deal last time. Highly deceptive marketing. Most products are not eligible for the $45 “Instant Savings.” Notice they don’t advertise it as a gift card or credit.
