FREE Sam’s Club Membership for New or Pregnant Moms – Still Available (Just Call to Activate)
UPDATE – 9/24/15 (sent in from a reader): I wanted to give you an update on the Sam’s Club free membership for new moms. On Monday, I was given a reference number and told I would receive a call back within 2 days and if not to call back. Today, I called back. They informed me that they changed the procedure and are no longer returning calls!!!! Sam’s is now mailing a letter with your account number and I should receive it by October 15th. The letter must be taken to my Sam’s Club store to get my membership card by November 15th. Anyone who was given a reference number should call them to give Sam’s their mailing address.
This *HOT* offer for all you new or pregnant moms out there is still available! Through September 29th or while supplies last, Sam’s Club is offering up all new moms (with kiddos 1 year old or younger) and moms-to-be out there a FREE Annual Membership! To snag this offer, you’ll need to call 1-888-746-7726, choose option #2 and then tell the representative you are calling for the New Mom Membership offer (note that you will likely be on hold for over 15 minutes when calling about this offer so you will need a lot of patience!).
After providing your full name and mailing address, you will be given a membership number – you will need to take this number to the customer service desk at your local Sam’s Club where you will be issued a physical membership card. And the best part – this membership is active immediately and valid for one full year!
Just got off the phone and it worked for me as well. As others are saying, you’ll get a reference code and a voucher mailed by October 15th. She said if you didn’t receive the voucher by then to call with the reference number and they’d reset the start date of the membership and resend the voucher. Took me about 20 mins on hold on a Saturday afternoon.
I keep trying to call and I go to prompt 2 and then I have other choices I have to push for. I’ve been pushing 4 because i don’t know which other one to push and it will ring a few times then it will do a busy signal. What am I doing wrong? And when is a good time to call?
That happened to me too, I had to call 3 times to get through. When you’re on hold music will play, if it is silent then you have to call back , I thought I was on hold because it was silent and wasted 25 minutes lol. Called back and music was playing , waited for 20 minutes and got through. I called at 10am PCT. Its best to call early. They start to take calls at 8am PCT.
This keeps happening to me and then it hangs up on me.
Ok, so I have been on hold with silence for more than 2 hours, should I hand up?
Just take your birth certificate into your local club! I just called mine and they said I could do that!!!
?? I WENT TO A SAMS CLUB STORE AND THEY SAID THAT S A PROMO ONLINE ONLY AND THEY CAN NOT GIVE ANYTHING
Birth certificate of the baby
What if I don’t have her birth certificate yet?
Birth certificates here aren’t even “processed” for 6-8 weeks, then is mailed to you. (If a home birth, can take even longer!)
Our new addition just came yesterday, still at the hospital.
What about pregnant moms?
Our hospital gives a confirmation of birth to use until you get their birth certificate. Maybe you can use that.
Use the crib card
When you’re on hold music will play, if it is silent then you have to call back , I thought I was on hold because it was silent and wasted 25 minutes lol. Called back and music was playing , waited for 20 minutes and got through. I called at 10am PCT. Its best to call early
THEY ARE JUST WANTING THEIR NUMBERS!!! To beat with Costco
Thank you Ebonee R. After multiple attempts of calling and hitting 2 then 4. I got a busy signal and disconnected on every time. Finally a ring and automated voice. Thanks so much for your post!

The hit 2 then 00 really does work after and.hour of hitting 2 then 4 thanks for the help!
That kept happening to me too…I’m so glad I’m not the only one that was happening to, with 3 little ones and working full time it’s not like I have a lot of time to wait on hold, but I would really like to have the free membership

I just walked into my Sams Club today, went to the membership desk and they asked ME if I was there for the promotion without me saying a word! The one time having a big belly pays off! LOL! Within 15 minutes, I walked out with a membership for my husband and I. Didn’t give them anything but my DL.
I am a pregnant mommy and would like to have a free membership for a year!
Just as a heads up to anyone struggling, I sent out the email but was nervous I wouldn’t get a reply in time. So I tried calling, and only got the busy signal, no matter what I pushed. Finally, I called our local Sam’s Club, and they said to just come in with the baby to get the deal.
Will this sign me up.
I told my sister inlaw that she should go and she did and they denied her . she has a 2 month old with her.
My baby is turning two could I still get it or no? What is the oldest your baby can be?
1 year old or younger
So disappointed I have tried all week but get hung up on 2.5 mins into call every time I have been trying for 5 days now
When I called last night, their automated message says to now do this: email newmoms@samsclub.com the following: your name, mailing address, phone number, and email address. I did this and got an email today saying that I’ll receive a mailer in a couple of weeks and to take that to the actual store where I’ll be given the 1 year membership. Hope that helps!
How long did it take you to get a reply? I emailed them yesterday and haven’t heard anything back.
I got a responce back today I emailed them yesterday

Go to your local Sams Club and ask them about the New Mom promo, they will just ask for your license. I had my 6 month old with me. It took 5 minutes and now I have a membership 🙂 I never got through on the phone or had an email reply.
I have called and called, tried everything everyone has said and still haven’t gotten through.

I’m trying to receive a new mom member ship card how would I go about this
Thanks for the free membership
Called for new moms membership September 23rd. Was given a referral number and told I would resource a post card. I finally received it today, November 18th.
December 1st. Membership is still not here. Was set up in the system on September 24th and told that it should be received by October 15th. Called October 15th, was told to wait another month until November 15, then told to wait a week and call every week until it arrives. On October 15th when I first called I was told that the membership has been processed and is in the mail, leaving Arkansas. I am in a suburb of Chicago and ground shipping from California tends to take close to 5 business days so from Arkansas I’ll put 5 days should be the max.
The logical reason for this New Mom’s Membership is to promote their brand and try to win the war against Costco. This was promoted shortly after Costco (after excluding gasoline losses because of the drop in gas prices) showed a positive increase of around 5% for their comp stores whereas Sam’s Club (after the same exclusion) showed a decline of 0.5% in the same time period from their comp stores. Costco has been quicker in reduced food prices and reduced membership rates as they have planned properly for a future growth, not just for a few extra dollars at the moment. Now, in order to promote a good strong brand (which Sam’s Club apparently is not, they would be out of business if it wasn’t for their Government Subsidized big brother Walmart) they offer free memberships for new mothers. New moms and young families are an ideal selection to go after for this membership because they tend to have more young friends, and more time away from work to promote the brand by word of mouth while convincing their family to stay members for years to come. In time, even their children would tend to go with the brand their parents use more often. So as a business this would be a great idea, if only it was planned properly. Considering this was expected to be such a rush, they even put an “Until Supplies Last” disclaimer on this, any company would want to greatly promote themselves with a strong business model, even spend the extra money to have more people to enter the information into the computers, more people to answer the phones, or just be able to allow the new mothers to go to the store with a reference code, one that matches their name and address, to get the membership. Use the resources that are already in place at the store level, or even hire, or send in a few extra employees from corporate or elsewhere to get this done in a timely fashion. Every business knows that word of mouth is the best form of advertising and 9 out of 10 types of word of mouth tend to be negative. The roll out of this promotion is an utter failure, I have gone on rants about this in public and with friends, I have turned into a, promote Costco above Sam’s Club person, on the daily. The only reason I wanted this was because their is a Sam’s Club within 5 minutes of my house and the nearest Costco is close to a half an hour away. I think if I ever receive this I will just use it for their gasoline and continue to drive the extra 25 minutes to go to the much better business of Costco. With a starting pay of $11.50/hour and an average pay of $21/hour Costco’s employees seem much happier and willing to work and promote their brand whereas Sam’s club’s average pay (according to glass door) is $10/hour, and their typical range for store level employees is between 7 and 13 dollars per hour they tend to be more negative and unprofessional.
If you spent the time to read all of this. I thank you
OMG, was all of that necessary? Geez lol!
OMG, was all of that really necessary? Geez lol!
I have the same situation as Amanda Alvarez just said. I called September 26th and gave them all my info needed. They gave me a ref # and said I would receive a letter in the mail. Watched the mail everyday but no letter. Went into a sams club store near me the next month October and asked them…the person says I have to wait until November 15th now if I haven’t got it yet. I wait until then and still no letter. I call the number again and hear a recording advising the letters for the new moms program are still mailing out so I left it at that. Waited until the end of November then called again..no recording this time so spoke to a rep this time and they said now it’s too late that all the letters were sent out. Asked for a supervisor and they said there was not one available to talk to me so they said they would send the supervisor a message to call me back. Got a call back about a week later advising they were not approving my membership. I asked them why and they said they were trying to contact me but I never received a call or mailing. I asked the supervisor to escalate the issue if possible because I had been done wrong as I had done everything needed and they denied it. The supervisor said she would send this issue to corporate and will hear back from someone there. Waiting to hear back again now and still no membership…
Hi Jami…I never received mine either…starting to think it was a scam 🙁
