11/20/19 online order (paper towels) pick up in store to receive $25 gift card. 12/4/19 $25 gift card received. So maybe they’ve fixed their issue with sending out the $25? Or I got lucky 🙂 Other DP, 11/19 sign up date and 11/25 was when I received the $5 gift card.
I tried using the affiliate link and just see the old offer… with mac and cheese and a pie and french baguette… I want the deal with the pizza and the fruit tray… can anyone provide me a link for the deal described above?

Samsung pay is giving another 16% cashback on this deal because this falls under the food & drink category.
Did you make this work, or is that your analysis? The deal falls into the subcategory “Grocery” which only earns 2% on the Samsung Pay offer.
I confirm that this earns 16% Cash Back from Samsung Pay. I just bought one earlier after clicking on the Samsung Pay link and received a notification soon after. This falls under the “Local” category.

Has anyone gotten the *free* $25 Sam’s Club gift card after placing a $25 online order (I ordered a $25 Sam’s gift card). Looking for a data point from someone else who placed a similar order (i.e. a gift card). I placed my order on 8/15, and I haven’t received my $25 bonus card yet.
I’m guessing buying gift cards doesn’t work to trigger the free $25 gift card? Wondering if I should be patient or order some toilet paper or something.
Any updates on this? I placed a $25+ order for some things I needed (not GCs) about a month ago, and have yet to receive the $25 card. Going to contact customer service soon, but curious if others had the same issue.
Just an extra datapoint: I never received my $25 gift card after placing a $25 online order. I did order “real products” with my online order (sparkling water). I messaged Sam’s Club on online chat last week and received my gift card by e-mail just a few days later.
Great deal. Just got a bunch of free food.
I signed up for a similar deal at the beginning of the year and my gift card didn’t come through. I had to contact customer service several times, and wait several weeks. Just letting other know, FWIW.
I purchased this, then upgraded membership to plus online. I wonder if this will count for the $25 gift card to receive after $25 online order.
Will family member added to my account before (I cancelled my membership one month ago) still qualify this offer?
They should qualify because they were not the principal member. People alternate from main to additional member to be able to qualify for the offers.
Thank you! Then I will try this one.
