Thanks, Jason!
I may have missed it,but those who have had card shipped, how was it coded relative to the 5% Cash Back cards? Have you seen the verifications on line or better yet on your monthly statement?
Received all the gift cards ($5 each) today via UPS, the master cards are shipped via Fedex but haven’t been received yet.
How do I activate the $5 gift card? I followed the instruction on walmart but not able to active it or check the balance
OK, here is the problem for me, not sure if anyone else having the same problem.
Received a total of 3 UPS packages today, because I placed 3 orders online with a total of 9 $5 Sam’s Club gift cards that I expected. And yes, I did receive a total of 9 $5 gift cards. The package was sent from Samsclub.com with address in Carrollton, GA 30117. Then I logged back in my account and realizing the $200 master card has been sent out from TX. So that being said, they shipped the $200 master card and $5 gift card separately.
I placed my orders on 9/20 and received 3 emails on 9/21 regarding instructions on how to activate the gift cards (the $5 one I believe). But when I clicked it again today, it all said “The activation code you have entered is not valid. ” The cards need to be activated first before using, and I tried to login to Walmart and also on samsclub.com but couldn’t get it activated. Called the phone number 888-537-5503 and was only told my card was inactive and asked me to go to a local walmart store where I placed my order to check. However, these cards were sent as gift from another location in GA, not something I directly purchased from them so I won’t go and don’t think any physical store can help. Then I called 888-746-7726 as the previous phone number is auto-system only and no CS. Spoke with someone about this issue and he gave me a reference #, more like a case number on his screen, I was told that they will be doing the activation for me in the background so I don’t have to do anything. But I have to wait 3 days (not sure business days or calendar days, forgot to ask, today is 9/23 Friday already, might have to wait till next Wed). While I was on the phone, I did give CS one card 16 digit number but without the PIN. And at the end I asked whether I needed to give the other 8 cards I have had on my hand but not scratched yet. CS said no, just asked me to wait and they would do activation for me. First time user, so not sure if I missed anything but looks like this activation thing causes me headaches. Will wait and advise.
I had to call and prove all numbers. They activated next day.
Both now say “Unavailable online”, sold out. Too bad it cannot last till next month.
My order got cancelled. Sams Club going same way as walmart now of c ancelling orders 🙂
My shipping confirmation had the $5 reduced from the price of the gift card and a new updated total. Anyone else receive a shipping confirmation this way so it looks like no gift cards and just a straight $5 discount?
Yep. They confirmed they shipped my first order of 10, and whereas the prelim order showed a $5 gift card for Sam’s and a $5/card higher total, the order shipped with a straight discount.
Practically speaking, I don’t know how this isn’t MUCH better than having to redeem a whole bunch of $5 gift cards 20 miles from my house or entering each online to add up to something meaningful.
However………how weird for a company of that size to make a material substitution of that sort without apprising the consumer or gaining their consent.
If Yazing works, that changes the deal a lot! Thanks Jason for the possibility…
Out of stock
Seem to be back in stock now.
It save time and gas to order these online instead of making a trip. So it is more convenient for me. It’s decent if you need to meet min. spend in time because who knows when the OfficeMax deal will be back?
Oops, that’s 5 $100s
