Shoppers looking to cut everyday costs have a new reason to consider warehouse shopping. Sam’s Club is offering a limited-time discount on its annual memberships. The brand is dropping the standard Club Membership from $50 to $25 and the upgraded Plus Membership from $110 to $60.

The promotion is available only to new Sam’s Club members in the U.S., and memberships must be activated by March 31, 2026. After activation, the membership runs for one year and will auto-renew at the regular rate unless canceled.

A Lower-Cost Way into Warehouse Savings

For shoppers on the fence about joining, this discount cuts the entry price in half for the basic Club tier. At $25, the membership offers access to bulk groceries, home essentials, electronics, clothing, appliances, and more across nearly 600 U.S. locations.

Sam’s Club operates on a limited-item model, meaning shelves are stocked with curated products rather than endless variations of the same item. The goal is to combine quality with value, especially for families or households that benefit from buying in bulk.

What You Get with Sam’s Club vs. Plus

The standard Club Membership unlocks in-store shopping, access to members-only pricing, fuel stations, and select services. Members can also shop online and use curbside pickup or delivery options for an added fee.

Upgrading to the Plus Membership, now $60 during this promotion, adds extra perks. These typically include cash rewards on qualifying purchases and free shipping on eligible online orders. For frequent shoppers, those added benefits can help offset the higher annual cost.

Important Fine Print

This deal is strictly for new members. It is not valid for renewals, current members, or anyone who has held a membership within the past six months.

Membership must be redeemed and activated by March 31, 2026, to qualify for the promotional pricing. By signing up, members agree to auto-renewal at the regular annual rate, which is currently $50 for Club and $110 for Plus, unless canceled before the renewal date.

With grocery prices and everyday expenses still top of mind for many households, a discounted membership can make warehouse shopping more appealing. At $25 for Club or $60 for Plus, this promotion lowers the barrier to entry and gives new members a full year to decide whether the savings and perks justify the regular annual fee. For anyone considering joining, this limited-time pricing offers a cheaper way to test the waters.
