Sam's Club MC - no FTF after 3/1/16

[Loquat]

Nice to know...just got my SC MC and I travel to the Philippines at least once a year...

No FTF's is a nice benefit, that said Sam's MC is a GE/Sync very high APR card so I'm not sure I'd put major oveseas costs on that card if I wasn't able to PIF as soon as I got back. I do like my Sams card and I have a 5 figure CL, but banking the rewards for a year and carrying a high APR keep me from using the card as a daily spender. Don't get me wrong, GE/Sync going to no FTF is going to pressure others to follow suit (FTF charges are such a rip anyway).

With the high APR, it really shouldn't be used to finance major purchases.   I keep this card strictly to PIF.   That said, my CU usually has BT offers for 1.9% and no fee, so that would be a good option for me if I needed to finance a travel purchase.

Synchrony will find a way in my wallet  hopefully later this year ...very tempted now  but gardening off cards for some new Chase cards first (5/24) and then shoot an app for Sams right afterwards.

Wow. They are really making a good card.

Nice added feature! This is probably my favorite card! Love Sams MC!

I'm not a Sam's member but this card looks awfully tempting.  With all that I spend on gas, I could probably make the membership fee back, even if I rarely shop at Sam's.

Hoping Citi will have a similar rewards program and also drop FTF with the new Costco card ::fingers crossed::

Same here... I actually got a membership just so I could apply for the credit card. 

I've ended up finding value in the membership as well, but even if I never step foot in a club location, the rewards from the card make the membership fee worthwhile.

I would love for Citi to do something close to this card!

I never shop at Sam's. But use my MC daily. Guess I'll be going soon though to cash my check!

The voided card I believe is if you have electronic statement. You should get a check in the mail but still has to be cashed at Sam's for cash or credit to your account.
