One segment that seems to have been able to survive the online onslaught is big box stores, yet even they cannot afford to sit back and wait for folks to come to them. For instance, Sam’s Club, which has nearly 600 stores in 44 U.S. states as well as stores in a handful of other countries, has updated its offerings to try and entice the online shopping crowd. A membership-based store, Sam’s Club is popular because you can purchase a good many things in bulk. You walk in, grab a cart or three, and leave with a car full of goodies.
Let’s take a look at Sam’s Club Plus
Price Shipping The great equalizer when it comes to online shopping, shipping costs are very much an important part of the process. The item itself could be super cheap, but if it costs a ton to get it to you, it may not be worth it. That is not going to be the case with either service. Other benefits With Sam’s Club Plus, along with a membership to their stores you also get $10 back for every $500 spent on qualifying purchases (up to $500 back per year), early shopping hours, free select prescriptions and $50 off your first pair of glasses. That’s all in addition to what the standard membership offers, which grants you instant savings, member prices at the gas pump and a Sam’s Club Mastercard. Is there a winner? Want to know a secret?
