The Offer
- The Sam’s Club Mastercard is offering double cash back for the first 90 days of account opening when you open a new card before November 12th, 2016
Card Details
- Card earns at the following rates (these are doubled for first 90 days):
- 5% cash back on the first $6,000 in gas purchases every year. Excludes other discount warehouses other than Sam’s club
- 3% cash back on dining & travel
- 1% cash back on all other purchases
- Limit of $5,000 in cash back per calendar year
- No annual fee
- Requires a Sam’s Club membership
- Purchases must post to the account within 90 days of account opening to be eligible for double cash back rewards
Our Verdict
Obviously 10% cash back on gas purchases is insane, although that is capped at $6,000 annually (would be $600 cash back) if you can max that out in 90 days then this card is definitely worth considering. Even if you can’t, it might be worth it if you can put through some spend on dining and travel purchases as 6% is better than you can get elsewhere.
The other nice thing about this card is that it has no annual fee, so if you can make use of this double cahs back up bonus then you have a card that earns 5%/3% for life as well (as long as you have a Sam’s Club membership at least). You can read more about this card here.

Do they do a hard pull for this card
Yes
Not a noob by any means but know of no gas stations (or locations that code as gas stations) in Louisville, KY/Southern Indiana that would provide MS methods to maximize. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
I have Sam's master card but I did not renew my membership recently. Will this still apply to my card ?
It's for new cardholders
Anyone have any luck chatting with Synch to see if they would match this offer if you had a recently opened account? I had applied for the MC april last year and only got the PLCC. Then this past may I applied for the MC was approved and closed the PLCC.
TIME to chat it up! Not holding my breath tho!
Sam's membership fee is $48.99.
Purchase on 71 code as "gas".
Do purchases on radpad code as "travel"? I remember I read it here somewhere before.
Correction, Seven Eleven (7-11) I mean
There has been a few discounts on Sam's membership recently: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/?s=sam%27s+club
For chase sapphire reserved, yes. But this card is issued by Synchrony Bank, so there's a small chance that it wouldn't work (mastercard vs visa). Plus I feel that 3x UR is better than 3x cash back. 3x TYP of cit att access more works.
This is 6x cash back for first 90 days though.
anyone knows if this card codes -4 as gas?
(Feel free not to approve this comment) The title should say "Its" not "It's".
Thanks, fixed.
