missesd Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 What the heck happened to when it was $40 :eek: At $100, I don't even know if it's worth it then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmulcahy Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Yes, that is quite a bit of money. I only have a BJs Warehouse membership because my husband's job offers memberships for $15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginevra Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Was that the base membership? I belong to Costco and the base membership is $45 (or thereabouts), but there is a snazzy $100 membership that they are constantly trying to pedal. I agree $100 for the base membership would make me seriously reconsider. I sometimes reconsider the $45 membership as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it comes with all sorts of perks and bonuses, but who cares? I don't need those. The base is apparently only for business owners at $35 :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missesd Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Now, I am P.O'd... I just went to Sams club online and can buy an "Advantage" membership for $40, BUT the manager at the store said it was no longer available and tried to seriously sell us (as in car salesman sell) this higher priced membership, making it sound as if it was the only one available to us :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Sams the only option for you? Because that would be enough to drive me to a competitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 The Advantage membership is $40, the Advantage Plus is $100. You can join online and avoid the store guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.... Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Do you really need Sam's? It sounds like the guy was trying to swindle you! We had a membership several years ago. I don't really miss it. In fact, they had that article recently about Target being slightly cheaper than Wal-mart now (for the first time - lol). I've weaned myself off Wal-mart over the last year (sad, but it was hard to do)...:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gave our Costco membership up a few years ago and haven't missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anita in NC Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Sam's website is showing that an Advantage membership is $40 and that the Advantage Plus is $100. I don't know why the $40 membership wasn't available or offered to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 You need to report this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiguirre Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I'd report the manager too, you might get a free membership out of it. If not, I personally found that buying Great Value brand stuff at Walmart or Market Pantry at Target were a better deal than shopping Sam's (and they're closer too). Another option is Subscribe and Save at Amazon. They've got amazing deals on pull-ups, although the tp was too expensive to make it worthwhile.
