(ENDED) Sam’s Club Savings Made Simple with eValues – $100 gift card GIVEAWAY

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED AND COMMENTS ARE CLOSED

The winner is:

#130 Jeanine.

You may have recently received something in your mailbox from Sam’s Club that looked like this:

In addition to that information, there was also a one-day pass attached to the flyer:

This pass will allow you to check out Sam’s Club and all they have to offer before committing to buying a membership.  Also, you CAN make purchases from Sam’s Club with this card but there will be a 10% fee attached to everything you buy while using the one-day pass.  That’s the advantage of membership.  Plus, Sam’s Club has a money-back guarantee if you are not full satisfied with your membership so really you have nothing to lose by signing up.

If you would like a one-day pass and did not receive one, you can get one by printing out this PDF file: Savings Made Simple. The pass is good through October 14, 2009.

For individuals, Sam’s Club has 2 membership options.

Advantage

An Advantage Membership at Sam’s Club allows you to enjoy quality name brand products at the savings offered through warehouse pricing. This Membership allows you full shopping privileges at all of our Sam’s Club locations nationwide as well as 24 hour access through samsclub.com.

This membership costs $40 per year.

Advantage Plus

An Advantage Plus Membership gives you all of the benefits of an Advantage Membership along with the additional services and savings that are valued at hundreds of dollars. A complimentary health and medical discount card valued at $174 is just one of the benefits you will receive with this Membership.

This membership costs $100 per year.

The Advantage Plus Membership also has an additional benefit that the Advantage Membership does not have and it is guaranteed to provide you with a minimum of $200 worth of savings each year with something called eValues.  eValues are basically paperless coupons that are pre-loaded onto your membership card to provide you with instant savings at the checkout.  For more information about eValues, you can check out the Sam’s Club website or my previous post where I discussed the program in detail: Paperless coupons at Sam’s Club.

As a part of my relationship with Sam’s Club as one of their “Sharing the Savings” bloggers, I was provided with a Sam’s Club Advantage Plus Membership so I could fully use and learn all about what Sam’s Club has to offer.  I have only had the benefit of making one trip to Sam’s so far because for the last few weeks it seems that someone in my family has been sick.  But, even in that first trip I got to experience eValues first hand.  You can read about my first Sam’s Club shopping experience here: Sam’s Club pretzels and panties oh my!.

The short commercial below is from a real Plus member from Kansas. You can hear first-hand what an actual customer thinks about the program!
