Just to let everyone know, the free installation can apply to other brand of tires as well such as Falken.
When you go pay for the tires in store, you will pay the discounted price. That's when they set up my appointment for installation too. My store was booked until Thursday this week.
Got 4 BFGoodrich Advantage Control tires for my 2017 Honda Fit earlier this afternoon @ DiscountTire for $445.95 (incl. $34 in tax) out of the door. Price Matched to Sam's. Tried to double-dip / take advantage of the $110 instant rebate @ DiscountTire (Vs $80 at Sams) for the tires and free install Sams offer, but they said I can't do that.
Haven't driven much with the new tires - just got them installed on Friday late afternoon.
I don't have a pic at the halfway point but here is a pic at the point I removed them still with tread before hitting the wear indicators.. this is what it looked like since that halfway point though.

Depends on the dealer as to whether they'll PM, but $200 worth of points doesn't hold much value when applied against the obscenely high parts/labor prices at the dealer anyway. For nearly all parts, even my cheapest local dealer is 30-50% more on a given part vs Rock Auto, Amazon, eBay dealers, etc For labor the dealers are 20-40% higher and typically less experienced than the independent shops.
I can't say I've ever been satisfied with the service at my local Sam's tire dep't, but what does the speed rating have to do with anything? You can put tires rated for 130mph on a vehicle that came with 150mph tires and there is no issue unless you're driving above 130. Simply using a tire with a lower speed rating won't cause them to wear faster nor will it cause a single tire to wire faster than the rest. If it wasn't an alignment issue, perhaps it was an inflation issue. It sure as heck wasn't a speed rating issue. In fact, it's incredibly stupid that all of the club chains even require the buyer to use tires with a speed rating at or above that which the vehicle came with from the factory. Why the heck would I need 150mph rated tires on my 6,500-lb truck? I would have to be suicidal to even attempt that speed in my truck.
For example, had to replace the tires on my Pilot last fall. Usual deal with the club stores (like this one but perhaps not exactly the same). When comparing to our local chain, Town Fair, TF includes a 2 wheel alignment.. Costco doesn't do alignments at all, but offers 5 year road hazard. TF offers 3 year road hazard for ~ $27/tire (say $110 for the lot), charges $2 more/tire for disposal ($4 vs. $2 costco). Costco's net install fee (mount/balance/tpms) is about $30 lower than TF.
So by the time you add up all the differences in cost AND make the 2 comparable as possible (add TF 3 year road hazard, and get a 4 wheel alignment for Costco from TF, which is ironically $90 not the $110 they charge if you buy an alignment from them), Costco was around $120 cheaper than TF.

If you take a heavy vehicle up to 100 mph and practice some lane changes on an open part of highway, and you had some significantly different speed ratings on the same type of tire that you could test, you would be able to feel the difference.
The best handling tires I own now are the toyo proxos r888r's. I've run a lot of tires on different performance vehicles. I prefer a stable contact patch across all of my vehicles (whether a track beast or a Prius), so I always buy the highest speed rating available in the tires I select. The main trade-off is comfort as higher speed rating tires will ride more firmly and isolate the vehicle less from road irregularities.
