Canceling a Sam’s Club membership can be a daunting task for many people since they may think it’s a technical task that requires some skill.

However, canceling your Sam’s Club membership is a straightforward process that can be done either by calling their customer care line or by visiting the membership desk at your local Sam’s Club store.

In this article, we will look at both methods of canceling a Sam’s Club membership in detail. Here, we will also be answering some related membership questions we’ve seen many Sam’s Club members ask.

How To Cancel Your Sam’s Club Membership (Multiple Methods)

If you’re no longer interested in being a Sam’s Club member, you can cancel your membership at any time.

There are two ways to cancel your Sam’s Club membership: on the phone or in-store. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to use each method to cancel your Sam’s Club membership.

On The Phone

If you prefer to cancel your membership over the phone, you can call Sam’s Club customer service at 1(888) 746-7726. Follow the steps below to cancel your membership:

  • Dial 1(888) 746-7726 and wait for a customer service representative to answer.
  • Inform the representative that you want to cancel your Sam’s Club membership.
  • Provide the representative with your membership details, such as your name and membership number.
  • Confirm that you want to cancel your membership.
  • Wait for the representative to confirm that your membership has been canceled.

In-Store

If you prefer to cancel your membership in-store, you can visit your local Sam’s Club and go to the membership desk. Follow the steps below to cancel your membership:

  • Go to the membership desk at your local Sam’s Club.
  • Inform the representative that you want to cancel your Sam’s Club membership.
  • Provide the representative with your membership details, such as your name and membership number.
  • Confirm that you want to cancel your membership.
  • Wait for the representative to confirm that your membership has been canceled.

Remember that there is no fee to cancel your Sam’s Club membership. However, you only have a 30-day window to get a full refund when you cancel. If you cancel after 30 days, you will no longer get a full refund but a refund based on the time elapsed.

You will receive your refund via Sam’s eGift Card and Sam’s Club may still retain some of your personal information if it is needed to comply with legal obligations or otherwise permitted by law.

Can You Cancel Your Sam’s Club Membership Online?

Unfortunately, canceling your Sam’s Club membership cannot be done online. You will need to either call the Sam’s Club customer service line or visit the membership desk at your local Sam’s Club store to cancel your membership.

To cancel your membership over the phone, you will need to have your membership number ready. You can find your membership number on your Sam’s Club membership card or on your online account if you have registered for one.

Alternatively, you can visit the membership desk at your local Sam’s Club store to cancel your membership in person. You will need to bring your membership card with you to the store. The associate at the membership desk will be able to assist you with cancelling your membership and provide you with any necessary information regarding refunds or other concerns you may have.

How To Cancel Sam’s Club Membership Auto-Renewal

If you want to cancel the auto-renewal of your Sam’s Club membership, you can do so in two ways: on the phone or online on the Sam’s Club website.

On The Phone

To cancel auto-renewal on the phone, call Sam’s Club customer service at 1(888) 746-7726.

Once connected, explain that you want to cancel your membership auto-renewal. The representative will ask for your membership number and other necessary information to process the cancellation.

They may also offer alternative membership options or try to persuade you to keep your membership. Once the cancellation is processed, you will receive a confirmation email and you will no longer be billed when your current membership expires.

Online On The Sam’s Club Website

To cancel auto-renewal online, sign in to your Sam’s Club account on their website.

Once logged in, navigate to the Account Information page. Select “Auto Renew Settings” under the Membership header.

On the Auto Renew Settings section, you can change your auto-renew status by checking or unchecking the “Auto-renew” box.

To cancel auto-renewal, uncheck the box and confirm the cancellation. You will receive a confirmation email once the cancellation is processed.

It’s important to note that if you cancel your membership auto-renewal, you may still have to pay for any remaining membership period. Sam’s Club may also retain some of your information for legal compliance purposes.

By following these simple steps, you can easily cancel your Sam’s Club membership auto-renewal either on the phone or online.

Can You Cancel A Sam’s Club Credit Card?

If you have a Sam’s Club credit card and want to cancel it, you can do so by contacting their customer care service on the phone. However, it is generally not recommended to cancel your credit card as it might hurt your credit score. Instead, it is better to leave the card open, even if you don’t want to use it anymore.

If you do decide to cancel your Sam’s Club credit card, make sure that you have paid off any outstanding balance on the card. Cancelling your credit card does not absolve you of any credit card debt that you may have. You will still need to make payments until the balance is paid off.

Once you have cancelled your Sam’s Club credit card, any remaining balance on the card will need to be paid off. You may also be eligible for a refund of any fees or interest that you have paid on the card. Contact Sam’s Club customer service to inquire about any refunds that you may be eligible for.

Wrapping Up

Canceling a Sam’s Club membership is a straightforward process that can be done either by visiting the Membership desk at the nearest Sam’s Club or by calling the customer care line. Once the cancellation process is complete, members are entitled to a full or partial refund of their membership fee depending on when the cancelation was initiated.

Sam’s Club has a satisfaction guarantee policy that ensures members are refunded in full if they are not satisfied with their membership in the first 30 days. If a member cancels their membership before it expires, they may be eligible for a prorated refund based on the number of months remaining on their membership.

It is important to note that Sam’s Club may retain some of a member’s information to comply with their legal obligations and record retention policies. However, members can rest assured that their personal information will be handled with care and kept confidential.
