We are members of both Costco and Sam's. We did a comparison between Costco and Sam's on the items we buy and Costco was cheaper on literally everything except for tuna (tuna!?) than Sam's.

So my Sam's membership expired this past June and I never renewed it. Would I be considered a new member now for this deal?

Just go to the store and sign up as a new member, don't tell them you had a previous membership.

based on replies in the thread @ SD...

If you are/were the 2nd user on someone else's membership, this will work fine.

If you had a primary membership but it expired at least 60 days ago, this will work fine.

If you are a primary member or were in the last 60 days, you can have someone else at the same addr or with the same last name use the Groupon to sign up as primary and then get added on as the 2nd user.

beyond that, it is up to the discretion of the store manager

If you had a primary membership but it expired at least 60 days ago, this will work fine.

Or if your current membership expires by early December, this will work fine. Or if you cancel your current membership before early December, this will work fine. You have 90 days from date of purchase (i.e., until early February) to redeem the Groupon.

 

[TemjinGold]

Ahh cool. Mine expired in June, so it's been way more than 60 days ago.

Not a bad deal - but overall I haven't been impressed with Sams club. I have a free membership from work, so I can shop there without any pressure to buy anything to make up my membership cost. Compared to Costco, the selection is not very good, and prices aren't that great. I'm actually surprised they are still in business, as the stores are never crowded (and for god reason).
