Cheaper gift cards
If you are a member of Sam’s Club, you can purchase gift cards reduced by 20 percent for popular stores and restaurants. For instance, two $25 Steak ‘n Shake gift cards can be bought for less than 40 dollars. Costco provides similar discounts on gift cards as well as on certificates and tickets for amusement parks, sporting events, and other attractions.
You can also write a gift message to the person you’re buying the gift card for.
Professional support services
Both Costco and Sam’s Club have various discounted services for their business club members, such as payroll management, small-business loans, employee health insurance, or product logo printing. The warehouse clubs use third parties such as Clover and Elavon, to provide such services to their members.

I still haven’t received my Sam’s membership card. I don’t know what the yearly card fee is.
Called Sam’s as a member to install a tire I ordered and had delivered to my house. Was told they don’t install tires they don’t sell and don’t install for free. Said if I was a premier member there would be a 10.00 discount.
If you live alone or just with one other person, Costco membership may not work for you. Buying in bulk, 40 lbs of laundry detergent will last you a long time. Good refrigerated food discounts, but you need an extra fridge.
