I went through Dosh and got $20 back instantly and didn't even notice banner. I hope I get. Chatted with Sam's and said to check back in 72 hours and they will verify.

He didn't know how to view it in app since it is more of a coupon. Anyone know how to view in app/website?
Please report back after a few days. We all want to know if this works.

To get this $45 for free, you have to spend: $45 on membership and $45 in products.
So to get $45 free, you have to spend $90.
In other words, it is 50% off $90.
Wait...people actually think like this? No wonder why this got over 100 replies when people can't see the membership is practically free

You are right. People are overthinking it.

You pay $45.....They give you $45.

You just have to spend it in the store. I'm sure you can find 45 dollars worth of things you would buy anyway.....trash bags...paper towels....toilet paper...etc.

Mine has had self-checkout for months, but Costco is still always an "anthill" or "beehive" of people. The whole experience from trying to find parking to shopping cart derby to lines at checkout is just sub-par. I still shop there, but I go much less often than I would if it were more efficient.
I love sams clubs self checkout app. I scan as I go and skip the lines to pay. I dont know why more people dont use it there. there are signs up about it so its not like they dont know.

I also had the plus membership. In August, the accumulated cashback showed up in my account like a gift card. Whatever cashback I earned from August to now is probably gone for good as my membership has expired and I'll be starting my annual 'new' membership. I've never received a check from Sams club for remaining cashback balance. Others with the Sams club mastercard have though.

I wonder if its worth staying a plus member than to create a new account every year. I guess Ill pay the $55 to upgrade and actually pay attention to how much I made back this year. If its $100 or more it might just be.

I know my wife is annoyed I create a new account every year. last year she didnt even bother getting her picture/card made, just logged my card into her phone/app and used that.

It is $45 off your first purchase, so spend $45 for the membership and then spend $0 to get $45 in product at Sam's Club, You are not spending $90. It is $45 out of pocket to get $45 of product AND the membership. Is it some super bargain...no, but it is not costing you anything more than if you went to your local market IF you can spend $45 there which since everyone needs to buy food or gas, is not really a problem imo. As to whether the membership is worth the hassle, it is a matter of debate obviously.
I'm comparing this deal to the last one when I got the membership. It was: sign up online, then go to the store, finalize the signup - and pay $0, since $45 was deducted from the cost of membership right then and there.

Of course, after buying membership you are going to spend $45 on groceries, but there're additional steps to go thru. And quite a few people reported trouble with getting those $45 deducted. Local store would say it's an online deal, and online would say to deal with local store.

I'm sure majority will be just fine, but good luck to those having trouble with this.

I love Scan n Go app, to avoid long line, less contact with people, because of Scan n Go I get almost all my groceries shopping from Sams.

I don't know if it will work. Dosh takes you to the website, not the app. T&C didn't say needed to go through that splash page. I'm sure I'll get it by Sam's Chat. If not I'll cancel with no charge and create a new account.

So you'll try to get the $45 coupon through chat then?

I'm a Costco shopper. Does anyone have some compelling reasons as to why trying Sam's Club might be worthwhile?
Reasons to go with this deal:
1. Why not when you can get a Sam's membership almost free with this deal. Even if you don't want to go into the club you still can use up your $45 at Gas pump outside.

2. Free curbside pickup almost beats the Costco's carnival like crowd inside Costco and don't have to waste your time waiting at the long checkouts lines inside Costco especially during this Covid times.

3. To those who likes going into the club, "Scan and Go" App checkout is best and totally worth it and no need to stand in at checkouts lines at Sam's.

4. I have been using both Costco and Sam's for years for over 10 years and I have noticed that overall prices are way cheaper with Sam's compared to Costco and I always end up with spending less on Sams's visits.
