Sam’s Club is kicking off the summer shopping season with a pair of membership offers aimed at drawing in new customers looking to stock up for the months ahead. In celebration of its Member’s Mark Month — the retailer’s private-label brand — Sam’s Club is offering its basic Club membership for just $20, and its Plus membership for $60. Both promotions are available now through June 16. For those unfamiliar, Sam’s Club operates as a members-only warehouse club owned by Walmart, offering everything from bulk groceries and household essentials to electronics, apparel and even patio furniture. It’s a one-stop-shop for shoppers preparing for summer cookouts, family road trips, backyard makeovers or simply looking to fill their pantries and freezers at warehouse prices. Seasonal items — including grills, outdoor dining sets, beach gear, sunscreen and coolers — are prominently featured this time of year, with Member’s Mark products often serving as the more affordable in-house alternative to national brands.
The Club membership, normally priced at $50 annually, provides access to all in-store and online deals, while the higher-tier Plus membership — regularly $110 — adds perks like free shipping on most items, earlier shopping hours and discounts on prescription drugs and optical services. Sam’s Club’s aggressive June promotion comes as the warehouse club sector heats up heading into summer, with competitors like Costco and BJ’s Wholesale Club offering their own membership incentives. While Costco remains the most widely recognized name in the space, Sam’s Club has leaned into digital conveniences — including same-day delivery, Scan & Go checkout via app, and curbside pickup — to attract a younger, tech-savvy customer base. Membership models like Sam’s Club continue to appeal to budget-conscious shoppers looking for savings amid stubborn inflation, especially on big-ticket seasonal items and everyday essentials that can add up quickly over the summer months. For many families, the membership easily pays for itself after a few major stock-up trips. Full offer details and membership benefits are available on Sam’s Club’s website.
