How to Cancel Sam's Club Membership (2026 Guide) — Are You Double-Paying for Costco AND Sam's Club?

Updated 2026-02-28 · 4 min read

Sam's Club costs $50/year (Club) or $110/year (Plus). Owned by Walmart, it's the budget warehouse alternative to Costco. But if you already have a Costco membership or live near a Walmart, the Sam's Club membership is redundant. Many people have both Costco and Sam's Club — that's $115-195/year in warehouse fees alone.

Sam's Club vs Costco — Which to Keep?

Keep Sam's if:

It's closer to your home
You use Scan & Go (skip checkout lines — Costco doesn't have this)
You prefer Walmart/Sam's brands

Keep Costco if:

Better store brand (Kirkland is generally higher quality than Member's Mark)
Better return policy (essentially unlimited)
Better gas prices and pharmacy

What You Can Still Access Without Membership

Sam's Club pharmacy — non-members can use it (by law in most states)
Samsclub.com — non-members can shop online with a 10% surcharge
Sam's Club Fuel — members only
Free one-day guest pass — available on the website (10% surcharge on purchases)
