"Some Sam's Club members have expressed their disappointment regarding the upcoming price increase, with one member stating, 'I decided I'm cancelling. This is just a stab in the back. Don't they realize we're struggling to pay [for] basic groceries?'"
"Another commenter on Instagram mentioned, 'unless they are bringing back free shipping...I'm not renewing,' highlighting the dissatisfaction among members regarding the value of the membership."
"Despite the price increase, some members noted that a Sam's Club membership remains less expensive compared to Costco, suggesting that price comparisons may influence member decisions."
Starting May 1, 2026, Sam's Club will raise standard membership prices from $50 to $60 and Plus membership from $110 to $120 annually. This marks the second increase in four years, following a $5 and $10 hike in 2022. The price increase aims to enhance customer experience and member benefits, including extended in-club hours and improved delivery options. Current members have expressed disappointment on social media, with some considering cancellation. Plus members will receive a new perk with a 2% increase in Sam's Cash rewards cap from $500 to $750 annually.
