Sam’s Club isn’t just about bulk groceries—your membership comes with hidden perks that can save serious money. Many assume the deals stop at giant snack packs, but there’s way more, like travel discounts and free shipping. All of these benefits go unnoticed. Here’s what you might be missing. Note that they’re all subject to change over time.
Exclusive Prescription Savings And Health Screenings
Pharmacies aren’t exactly known for their bargain prices, but Sam’s Club flips the script. Members can score deep discounts on prescriptions, with some meds costing as little as $4. According to Sam’s Club, Plus members have access to 10 select generic prescriptions at no cost and over 600 generics priced at $10 or less.
Comprehensive Protection Plans For Electronics And Appliances
Electronics have an uncanny ability to break right after the standard warranty expires. Sam’s Club offers extended protection plans that cover everything from TVs to refrigerators, so you’re not stuck replacing pricey gadgets sooner than expected. Someone once had their laptop covered for a full repair after dropping it.
Fuel Up For Less At Sam’s Club Gas Stations
Gas prices fluctuate more than your mood on a Monday morning, but Sam’s Club keeps things steady with lower prices at their members-only pumps. Savings of 10 to 30 cents per gallon might seem negligible, but they add up fast. If you’ve driven around town comparing gas prices like it’s a competitive sport—this one’s for you.
Complimentary Shipping On Select Online Purchases
Ordering bulk items online is fun—until you see that shipping fee. But Sam’s Club Plus members? They enjoy free shipping on eligible online orders of $50 or more. So go ahead and order that 50-pack of paper towels without worrying about how you’ll fit it in your car.
Access Exclusive Travel Deals And Vacation Packages
Vacations are exciting. Paying full price for them? Not so much. Sam’s Club Travel hooks members up with serious discounts on hotels, rental cars, cruises, and even theme parks. Families have saved hundreds on Disney tickets. But the exact amount saved depends on the specific deal and timing.
Earn Cash Rewards With Plus Membership
Earning money while spending money might sound too good to be true, but that’s exactly how the Sam’s Club Plus membership works. You get 2% back on qualifying purchases, which can add up to $500 a year. They’re basically saying, “Thanks for shopping; here’s some of your money back.”
Significant Discounts On Tires And Automotive Services
Tires aren’t the most exciting purchase, but they’re a whole lot more fun when they come with free perks. Buy your tires at Sam’s Club, and they’ll throw in free rotations, balance checks, and flat repairs for the life of the tire. Some people have saved hundreds on maintenance alone.
Save On Gift Cards And Event Tickets
Discounted gift cards feel like cheating the system in the best way possible. Sam’s Club sells them for way less than face value—$50 restaurant cards for $40, amusement park tickets at a discount, and even deals on streaming services. It’s the perfect way to stretch your entertainment budget.
Affordable Optical And Hearing Aid Services
Glasses and hearing aids aren’t cheap, but Sam’s Club offers discounts that can save you a small fortune. Eye exams cost less than most optometrists, and their frame selection includes high-end brands without the high-end prices. Hearing tests are free, and hearing aids are way more affordable than elsewhere.
Special Financing Options For Large Purchases
Big purchases can sting a little, but Sam’s Club makes them easier with special financing options. Anything you’ve been eyeing, you can spread out payments without sky-high interest. One shopper used Sam’s financing to buy a new mattress, proving that better sleep doesn’t have to come with financial nightmares.
