Better link/offer (terms say they send the gift card, and not a voucher for a gift card that must be redeemed in store):

Rakuten and acorns tracked. Dosh did not track. Referral did not work (received an email saying got $10 gc for referring a friend but opened the email it says friend cancelled). Got the $45 gift card at the member service in store.
How did you get the gift card at the store? On the signup page it says it will be delivered by email.
Maybe the promo is different. For me it didn’t show receive gc via email
MAKE SURE YOU TAKE A SCREENSHOT! During signup, it has a code to give the service desk on your first visit. Glad I did, I can’t find that code anywhere else.
Data points: Using the screenshot of the code during signup, got the $45 gift card just fine from service desk. Rakuten tracked. Dosh has not tracked (at least not yet).
What is the code you are referring to? Is it 980299084?
Rakuten signup bonus is now $30, the sams membership purchase qualifies you for the bonus.
Can confirm that the rakuten signup/cb bonus does stack, and I have an extra gift card showing in the order history. Used the reddit page steps
https://www.reddit.com/user/bob_barker_2000/comments/bw0czl/sams_club_1year_membership_with_60_bonus/
Gave it a go…let’s see. Worst comes to worst hopefully free membership for a year (much needed, about to cook and diy florals for our wedding). I used a new email and physical address than I did last time. So far I don’t see anything on Dosh, and I didn’t get any sort of confirmation email from Sam’s. I *can* see the shopping trip on Rakuten tho.
We did DIY flowers from Sam’s for our wedding. 🙂
Rakuten tracked and posted 360 MR points already (only counted the $45 not tax). Dosh still nada…says it can take up to 90 days but I went ahead and submitted a ticket. On to SC itself…
Rakuten posted…Dosh got back to me right away and manually posted the credit ($6.75). Went in store and got the $45 gift card easy peasy. However, neither the $20 nor $10 gift cards are in my history. Followed reddit directions.
So does anyone have any positive datapoints within recent times of it stacking with anything?
I personally had the same experience as
Gadget - Bank Bonus Geek when I signed up late last year.
Afaik, they even got rid of their in-store treasure hunt for free chicken, cheesecake, and so on… :/
Last year I was unable to stack as well, I would steer clear. When I called their customer service about it they told me specifically one offer per sign up
I got the free year offer from Discover, got the membership fee as a statement credit and I received a $25 Sam’s Club gift card.
I then applied for the Sam’s Club Mastercard and received a $30 statement credit after spending $30 on the card.
Wonder how much the Reddit guy has made on referrals for the different programs.
drop in the bucket compared to what
Gadget - Bank Bonus Geek milks here
As some previously noted, the discover thing was a $hit show and outright rejected my effort to stack. Originally they told me I had to wait 3 months. Then they said sams club said that I didn’t qualify. SC never gave me the $45 gift card after going in. Eventually, after going in for the 3rd time they told me that I had to call their customer service line. They said the promo code no longer worked in store and they couldn’t just give me a $45 Sam’s Club gift card. I asked for compensation for my time and the first customer service representative gave me a $10 gift card to which I said was not enough for all of the trouble that I had to go through. I then escalated it and I was told that I would get $75 on a gift card on top of the 45. Trying to get that $75 gift card or $45 gift card has been a hassle and I still haven’t received either one. If you seriously value your time, I’d stay away from this because it’s not worth the headache
Thanks for data point! Might lean towards the $45 credit …
