I did this and can give a full review for those that want it!

I have not been a Sam's member for a while, probably two or more years, so I cannot speak on recent lapses of membership. My Costco also ran out and I only sign up to these when they are either close to free or near free. The extra $20 pushed me that way. I signed into student beans, clicked the promo, and it took me to "members sale" or something like that. I added the sale to my cart and checked out with PayPal. I was told I'd receive an email within 24 hours. I got the email within 5 minutes and proceeded to claim the membership. It was easy to sign up. I also got the promo code to the $20 travel and entertainment credit in the first email as well. I then went in store to get my card and that's that.

This is not me being ungrateful for the $20 promo, but it was a bit misguided. So you can use the $20 on anything in the travel and entertainment services section of Sam's. It wasn't working on mobile for me so I hopped on my laptop. The best value, unless you definitely want to go to a cirque du soleil show, Busch gardens Tampa, or other resorts, is the movie tickets. I got two AMC yellow tickets and thought I could also add some popcorn to fully utilize the $20. To my surprise there is added tax and fees, along with an added surcharge for online order or whatnot. So only two tickets and $5 added in fees for a total of $23. I paid $3 out of pocket and scored some AMC tickets.

Overall it was easy, I just wish the $20 would have been more useful. But I got a movie date night out of it. Guessing I could score some movie tickets on sale plus the $3, I got a Sam's membership for around $8 OTD. I'm happy with that for sure!

I hope that helps!

Hi, I'm the OP. Same thing happened with me. Sorry, should have clarified the taxes bring ticket price upto 11 something. It's still cheaper than actual AMC tickets. I went through entire travel website before settling on the tickets and then purchasing the deal since atleast I get 2 movies out of it. I'm also in a similar boat where I only get this if its free or near free. Last year they had a 50$ sams gift card promo that offset the fee. This year, this was the closest I could find, thanks!

I see $25, but I guess you can probably use some coupon to bring that down to $20. But no $20 credit though right?

There is no physical Sam's near me (lame Portland, OR)... So I am not sure this is worth it. The question is whether I can save at least $20/yr from their online deals.

It looks like it went up.
I was telling my friend about it last night and it was $20.

The only reason I joined was because both of my Chase credit cards had a Chase Offer of 10% off up to $240 purchase that expired on Dec 31, 2023.

When I joined it was $15 with the Groupon coupon.

I bought 5x $50 and 2x $20 Sam's Club physical gift cards with one card.
I bought a $200 VISA eGift card + $6.48 fee and $20 Burger King eGift card with one card.

Chase credited the 10%. $24 + $22.65 = $46.65 + $4.66 (1% base) = $51.31
Even after the $6.48 fee, I am ahead $51.31 - $6.48 - $15 = $29.83 on $460 = 6.48%

You can use Sam's Club gift cards at Walmart.
