r/samsclub on Reddit: Won’t let me renew with a senior discount
March 14, 2025 -

I signed up for a membership last year and my subscription needs to be renewed. I tried to renew with the senior discount, but they won’t let me because I’m not a new member. They told me I have to let my account lapse for six months before I could renew as a senior. Freaking ridiculous. I guess I’ll just go to Costco from now on. Do better Sam’s Club

August 22, 2025 - I tried for two days in a row. Gave them all of the requested information, including my drivers license, and now it says I'm blocked!! I called my local Sam's Club and was told the only way senior can receive the discount is through ID.ME. Strange that it isn't working.

r/samsclub on Reddit: I don't qualify for Sam's Club membership special offer
October 20, 2025 -

I haven't shopped at Sam's Club for around 5 years. The last time I had a membership it was the plus version.

So recently (as of October 19, 2025) they started offering a promotion for NEW members to join. $15 for the regular membership and $50 for the Plus membership.

However it also that the discount is available for those whose membership have lapsed for 6+ months. I haven't had an active membership since 2020!

So I call ahead of time to make sure that I qualify and the person on the phone said yes but I would have to physically go to the store. Fine. I get to the store and now none of the associates can reactivate my membership with the discount.

Now they told me I would have to call Sam's Club so they can release my email and phone number from my account. Fine. But I want to call them in the store so I don't get home and get the run around.

Glad I did because even Sam's Club support said that I can't take advantage of the deal unless I have a new phone number.

In the end, I had to create a BRAND NEW account with a different email address and now my old account will just continue existing inactive? Can I even delete it? Why does it say that inactive memberships of 6+ months are eligible if that's not the case?

All I wanted to do was reactive my membership that has been inactive for 5 years. I wanted to activate it with the special promotion. But I could not. Why?

Basically, if a person that has ever had a Sam's Club membership wants to take advantage of the membership deal, they can't. They must make a BRAND NEW account. Even if their current account has not been active for years!

If you remember the password to the old account, just log in, go to account and then delete account at the bottom. That will release the email address. After that, you can switch the emails on the new account to the old one. If you dont remember the password, just do forgot password and reset it.

The membership offers are for NEW memberships only. So you wouldn’t be allowed to reactivate your old membership. Sams Club threw in the 6 month stipulation because once a membership ended, people would just ditch their expired membership and open up a brand new membership with the current membership deals. So now if you have had an expired membership for longer than 6 months, then you qualify for the NEW membership offer. I work member services, and I honestly don’t understand why the employees had you call online support to release your email from your old membership. They should have been able to still make the new membership and then when you went to register on the app, it would recognize you had old membership with that email and ask if you still want to use the current email and you just say yes. You have to verify the email with a code anyway, so it’s not like someone else could use your email. Support was also 100% wrong. Now we are being told to use a new app for memberships that has been nothing but issues, and we had a similar situation happen last week where someone with a 3 year old expired account wasn’t allowing us to open a new membership, so we ended up just using the old app (which is the app we need to look up membership information, so it’s not going away) to open the membership and it worked. Either the employees there didn’t want to try this, or are being told to use the new app no matters what.

I'd love to just renew like a normal person every year, but the deals they offer (free after gift card / rebate) are too good to pass up, so we just switch to a different member of the family every year. Is there any way to get a discount or renewal promo so we get a deal and don't have to do this game every 12 months? Thanks 👍

r/samsclub on Reddit: Membership Discount?
December 9, 2024 -

My membership expired April 2024 and I’d like to rejoin but not at full cost (I already have a Costco membership). The last time I bought a membership I was able to get a Groupon for $25 for a year. With the Groupon that is available now, my membership had to expire before March 24th so I don’t make that cut off. Anyone have a coupon that I could use to obtain it for a lower cost? Maybe Sam’s offers a discount for you and me? Just thought I would ask- thanks!

I started working at a Sam’s Club Fullfilment/Distribution Center for a couple weeks now, and was wondering how to get one. I tried looking online on the website or app, but nothing.

Am I supposed to talk to my manager or go to a local Sam’s Club desk to get a membership card?

r/samsclub on Reddit: Discount on Plus?
November 15, 2024 -

Recently returned something at BJs and the manager doing the return asks why I am not club+ or whatever they call it. I said I'm not interested, and she said there was a special and it was cheap if I did it through the end of the year. I said I really didn't think it was worth the price so she said take my membership off auto renew and come to the counter when it's time to renew and they usually can discount the upgraded membership. I did and instead of $110 they did it for $70.

Any way to get Plus at Sam's club cheaper? If I can help an employee at the same time I'd do it gladly but it's just not worth the full price. I might even get the credit card, but really don't want to pay the full membership price. Any thoughts?
