Sam’s Club is giving away free money right now: The best gift card deals for spring 2023

You already know that you can stretch your family’s budget by shopping for groceries at a warehouse club such as Sam’s Club this spring. But did you also know that Sam’s Club members can get majorly discounted gift cards to all sorts of restaurants and movie theaters, such as Coldstone Creamery, Panera Bread, AMC and Regal Cinema?

You can even get discounted Southwest Airlines gift cards to save 10% when booking flights, up to $150.

Not a Sam’s Club member? Not a problem — there’s a deal on that right now too. The Walmart-owned warehouse chain is offering one-year memberships to Sam’s Club for $25. That’s half the usual price of a Sam’s Club membership. And with all these great gift card deals, the discounted membership can quickly pay for itself.

Sam’s Club membership (1 year), $25 (regularly $50)

The warehouse retailer also has a deal for customers who want to become Sam’s Club Plus members. Right now, you can get $40 off a Sam’s Club Plus membership. Sam’s Club Plus members get free shipping for online orders, free curbside pickup, 2% back on qualifying purchases (up to $500 back per year), free select generic prescriptions and 20% off glasses. Sam’s Club Plus members can shop sales before any other Sam’s Club members.

Sam’s Club members get access to the chain’s gas stations, which typically offer gasoline at prices lower than competing nearby stations. (This is a common warehouse club perk: Costco members get access to Costco gas stations.) Of course, there’s more to a Sam’s Club membership than access to its discount gas stations. The warehouse giant offers bulk pricing on many popular household and grocery items, plus members-only pricing on tech and appliances.
