Sams Club CC

Weird question, do I get the card in the mail or from the store?

I got an email stating that I get it from the store, they will take a photo there and it would be available immediately for use but then on the app it said card to arrive in 7-10 days.

Take a picture in the store, then wait for your card to arrive in the mail. 7-10 days.

My DH has this card and they give it to you in the store right after they take your picture. You can keep your old membership card if you like too.

They take your picture and give you a temporary membership card that acts as your CC until you recieve your new card in the mail.

Do you still get the free fico with the sams club card like you do the walmart card? Also, i know the sams club card can be used at walmart but can the walmart card be used at sams club?

Discover = temp in store / mail the permanent card

Yes, that is correct. I assumed OP was referring to the store card.

Thank you. I see no reason why anyone would get the sams card then? I would value the free fico score at about 15 bucks a month thats like 180 a year.

I personally got it for 2 things, util. and I shop at both and would like to keep the expenses seperate.

Sams = groceries, home items (soap, shampoo etc)

Walmart = Clothes, electronics, house goods.

It was the store card I was approved for so its good to know that I should be getting it from the vs. waiting for it in the mail since I will be going there this week. Would have felt like an idiot had I not LOL

Same here....they give you the actual card at the store with your pic on it. No other card comes in the mail. And yea, the day I picked up my card I looked like I had just escaped from a prison. I literally had on a white and black striped t-shirt and it is quite visible on the card...sighhhh.

Two reasons to have both or at least the Sam's Club card, the Walmart card won't get you cash over from Sam's club, and vice versa, the Sam's club card seems to have better CLI's quicker without calling credit solutions because Sam's has more things that cost a lot. The walmart card comes with a free TU, and niether card has an AF, and both have the possibility of being upgraded to Discover cards in time.
