r/samsclub on Reddit: Regular vs Plus membership
August 19, 2024 -
Now that Sam’s Club has implemented the $50 minimum for shipping as of August 19th, what exactly am I paying an extra $60/year more for a Plus membership? Is it worth it?

I've always ordered at least $50 in shipped products so it doesn't really affect me, but I think you raise a valid question.

If you spend a lot of money at Sam's Club, the 2% back in Sam's Cash can cover, if not exceed, the difference between a regular membership and a plus membership. Plus, I bought a plus membership on Groupon for $60 so it wasn't that much more than a regular membership. If you like avoiding crowds and don't mind getting up early, the early access hours are kind of nice.

What are the different levels of Sam's Club membership?
Similar to Costco and BJ’s, Sam’s Club has two levels of membership. At Sam’s Club, the levels are called Club or Plus. You’ll need to choose a level when you join, but you can upgrade anytime and pay a prorated fee for the difference in cost. The Plus level is more than double the cost of the Club level, but only the Plus membership lets you earn 2% on most in-club purchases. Let’s take a look at the major differences between the two levels.

How to Sign Up for a Sam's Club Membership
You can sign up for a new Sam’s Club membership either in person at the Member Service desk or online at SamsClub.com/Join. If you’ve never had a Sam’s Club membership before (or it’s been at least six months since your last membership expired), I recommend signing up online rather than in person. That’s how you can take advantage of new membership deals that will save you 50% - 72% on your first year. We also see occasional Groupon deals that let you sign up for a new membership through the Groupon website. No matter which way you sign up, you can start shopping immediately at any Sam’s Club

I saw someone say Plus has cash back that will make up the difference if you shop there enough. I plan to only use it for diapers, wipes and gas. I had Plus but I let it expire, because they added the $50 minimum and our diapers we order are only $45 and I always had to find extra stuff to add. Is shipping an option for regular membership? I assume it’d cost of course if it is an option. I tried googling it and got nowhere. It just kept saying “store delivery.” Just not sure if it’ll be worth the $110 renewal for us!

But have you looked at the toilet paper and paper towels? Because they are great! And if you use bottled water...

The Plus is $60 more per year (it's $110/year total vs. the Club's $50/year). A good rule of thumb to figure out if it would pay for itself is if you spend $3000 per year/$250 per month every month on purchases in store (manned register, self-checkout, or Scan & Go) excluding gift cards of any kind. At that level, you would make $60 in Sam's Cash over the course of the year. At that point or above, the Plus has paid for itself. If it's less then that, then you can start thinking if the other benefits are worth enough to you to make up that difference. Like, for example, Club level members pay a fee for all shipping, delivery, and curbside. Plus members get that fee waived if the purchase is over $50. For some that can be worth enough when combined with >$60/year in Sam's Cash. For some it doesn't. But that rule of thumb can at least give you a gauge.
