This deal is no longer available. Check our post “Sam’s Club Membership Deal Fall 2020” for the latest money-saving membership deal.
It’s time for another round of Sam’s Club membership deals. Both Groupon and Living Social are currently offering Sam’s Club membership deals that just might entice you to join.
The deals are the same on both sites, so it’s up to you which site you purchase from. Below I’ll pass along info which may sway your decision.
First, though, the deals.
These deals are for a one-year Sam’s Club membership.
$35 for a New 12-Month Sam’s Club Membership with $35 in eGift Cards and One Free Item ($84.98 Value)
This membership package includes:
- One-year Sam’s Club membership
- Complimentary household card
- $10 gift card
- $25 eGiftCard delivered via email after first SamsClub.com purchase ($25+) made in first 30 days of membership
- Free rotisserie chicken
Or
$45 for a New 12-Month Sam’s Club membership with $45 in eGift Cards and Three Free Items ($117.92 Value)
This membership package includes:
- One-year Sam’s Club membership
- Complimentary household card
- $20 gift card
- $25 eGiftCard delivered via email after first SamsClub.com purchase ($25+) made in first 30 days of membership
- Free rotisserie chicken
- Choice of any two of the following premium dips:
- Member’s Mark Bacon & Cheddar Ranch dip
- Member’s Mark Avocado Salsa

- Member’s Mark Jalapeño Artichoke Dip
- Member’s Mark Spinach Artichoke Dip
- Member’s Mark Buffalo Style Chicken Dip
- Member’s Mark Smoked Gouda Pimento Cheese Dip
- Member’s Mark Classic Hummus
These deals are good on new memberships only. You cannot renew a current membership with these deals.
New memberships are defined as: a membership not active less than 6 months before 3/1/20.
If you have an expiring membership, but your spouse/household member has not had a membership in the last 6 months, he/she can grab this deal and give you the complimentary membership card.
And next year, you can – likely – do the same to keep getting discounted memberships.
Or, many have reported simply using a new email address when signing up will circumvent the “new membership” aspect of this deal.
Be sure to read the fine print associated with the delivery of the eGift Cards on the Groupon or Living Social purchase page so you know exactly how the deals work.
And for details on how the free items redemptions work.

Why Get a Sam’s Club Membership
If you don’t have a large family where buying 3-pound tubs of mayo and 10 pounds of chicken at a time is normal, you may not think a Sam’s Club membership is worth it.
And it may not be.
But, for my wife and me, I’ve found that you can find specific deals that will make the annual membership fee – even without an offer like this – worth paying.
Razor blades were a big one where we could get enough savings over a year to more than offset the membership fee. That’s changed somewhat but is still possible depending on the blades purchased.
It wasn’t until a few years ago, though, that I found how valuable Sam’s Club Pharmacy pricing is.
If you don’t have insurance that covers your prescription drugs, you can find a number of prescriptions at incredibly low prices. As low as $4 for a month’s supply. And for a select number of prescriptions, there is no cost at all.
You do have to have a Sam’s Plus membership to take advantage of the prescription pricing. A Plus membership costs $100 per year.
But, you can upgrade your Sam’s Club membership right at the pharmacy checkout the first time you purchase your prescription(s). Meaning, the difference in price – $55 – will be tacked on to the prescription price.
Think about it, though, with this deal, you’re not actually paying the full $45 for the Sam’s membership…and you’re getting multiple Sam’s Club e-gift cards to boot.
If you think you might be able to save on your prescriptions with a Sam’s Club membership, read my piece, “Sam’s Club Pharmacies Offer Great Savings on Prescription Drugs,” to get more info and see the pricing document first.
Then, if you can benefit, jump on this Groupon or Living Social membership deal to make your savings even greater!
