Here are even more reasons we love our Sam’s Club membership!
Is this only for new members or can I buy it to add time to my current membership?
Good question, Barb. Unfortunately, it looks like these offers are not valid for current memberships. Here’s the details on that – “Offer is not valid for membership renewals, current members, those who were Sam’s Club members within the past six months, guest members, and Walmart or Sam’s Club associates.” ❤️
Well if not valid for current member then cancel mine.
Sorry for any confusion, Shelby. If you’re looking to cancel your membership, be sure to visit the Sam’s Club website and log-in to your account to confirm the cancellation with them. ❤️
