When you've received a Sam's Club gift card, you can use it at Walmart or Sam's Club to purchase that item you've been wanting. Cards with a PIN can be used both online or in-store, but cards without a PIN can only be used in brick-and-mortar stores for purchases. Cards with a PIN can also be used via the mobile app.
Sam's Club is a member-only retailer affiliated with Walmart, and a gift card from Sam's Club can help stretch your purchasing dollars. How do you use your Sam's Club gift card to make a purchase? You can learn more about the retailer's products and acceptable payment methods by contacting member support here, and below are ways you can use your Sam's Club gift card.
Check to see if your gift card has a PIN. If it does not have a PIN, it can only be used in Sam's Club and Walmart brick-and-mortar stores, not for online purchases at Sam's or Walmart's online stores. Additionally, only membership gift cards, cards designed specifically to gift someone a Sam's Club membership, can be used for member dues. Regular Sam's club gift cards cannot be used for membership fees.
There are three ways to use a Sam's Club gift card to make a purchase. Online, via the mobile app and in-store.

To use your Sam's Club PIN gift card through the mobile app, follow the steps listed here.
Sam's Club gift cards, with and without a PIN, can also be used in any Sam's Club or Walmart brick-and-mortar store. Swipe the card at checkout to complete your purchase.
If you have been given a Sam's Club membership gift card, this can be used to purchase your own Sam's membership, pay upcoming dues if you already are a member, upgrade to a higher level of membership with more perks, or add another authorized user to your existing account. If you are opening a new membership, you need to visit the nearest Sam's Club Membership Desk to open your account. For existing memberships, you can add the card online to complete the upgrade or pay fees.
A Sam's Club gift card can help stretch your purchasing power at Sam's or Walmart. For more information or assistance with a gift card, contact Sam's Club customer support here.
