Bentonville, Ark. – In a sign of toughening competition and increased promotion, 593-unit membership warehouse operator Sam’s Club will give away free annual memberships – or a $40 gift card to existing members – in a promotion to run May 18-31.
The deal is tied to the purchase of select merchandise, such as a Brighton Patio dining set, Serta mattresses, Samsung LCD TVs and other goods.
Like some other retailers, Sam's Club will also cash economic stimulus checks for members at no charge.
“Our goal with this program is to deliver significant savings on merchandise our members and families may need or want today, while providing them with a way to save all year long,” said Cindy Davis, svp, membership and marketing.
