Sam’s Club offering a major Memorial Day discount on memberships

SAM’s Club is offering new members significant discounts on both its basic and premium memberships just in time for Memorial Day Weekend.

The Walmart-owned, member-only wholesale club is offering its regular membership for $35 annually, a 30 percent discount on its usually $50 price.

Sam’s Club is also offering its premium membership for $70 rather than $110, nearly 37 percent savings.

The deals will last through Memorial Day.

Customers can learn more on Sam’s Club’s membership portal.

MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS

Sam’s Club members are eligible for a bevy of benefits besides being able to shop for heavily discounted items in bulk.

Basic memberships include a complimentary membership to share with a household member and Sam’s Club Cash rewards points

Premium members get those benefits in addition to curbside pickup and enhanced Sam’s Club Cash rewards on most items.

By comparison, rival Costco sells its basic membership for $60 and its premium option for $120.

MORE WAYS TO SAVE

Sam’s Club shoppers can also find big savings at sister store Walmart by using their Walmart app.

Shoppers can scan an item’s barcode with their Walmart app to see if it has a clearance deal attached.

Some of these hidden deals can be massive.

An influencer bought a nearly $200 dirt bike for just $19 thanks to a Walmart hidden clearance sale.

Another was able to find an entire patio set on sale for just $5.

The price was originally $897.

There are also apps that offer big savings on everything from clothes to high-end appliances.

These include Ibotta, which gives customers rewards for items it is currently promoting.

Many of the most successful couponers will also combine Ibotta rewards with others from other apps like Shopkick and Coupons.com to save even more.

Sam’s Club and Walmart may be offering big savings right now, but the company has also signed off on multiple recent store closures.

The company closed dozens last month.
