I have not been a Sam's member for a while, probably two or more years, so I cannot speak on recent lapses of membership. My Costco also ran out and I only sign up to these when they are either close to free or near free. The extra $20 pushed me that way. I signed into student beans, clicked the promo, and it took me to "members sale" or something like that. I added the sale to my cart and checked out with PayPal. I was told I'd receive an email within 24 hours. I got the email within 5 minutes and proceeded to claim the membership. It was easy to sign up. I also got the promo code to the $20 travel and entertainment credit in the first email as well. I then went in store to get my card and that's that.
This is not me being ungrateful for the $20 promo, but it was a bit misguided. So you can use the $20 on anything in the travel and entertainment services section of Sam's. It wasn't working on mobile for me so I hopped on my laptop. The best value, unless you definitely want to go to a cirque du soleil show, Busch gardens Tampa, or other resorts, is the movie tickets. I got two AMC yellow tickets and thought I could also add some popcorn to fully utilize the $20. To my surprise there is added tax and fees, along with an added surcharge for online order or whatnot. So only two tickets and $5 added in fees for a total of $23. I paid $3 out of pocket and scored some AMC tickets.
Overall it was easy, I just wish the $20 would have been more useful. But I got a movie date night out of it. Guessing I could score some movie tickets on sale plus the $3, I got a Sam's membership for around $8 OTD. I'm happy with that for sure!
I hope that helps!

There is no physical Sam's near me (lame Portland, OR)... So I am not sure this is worth it. The question is whether I can save at least $20/yr from their online deals.
I was telling my friend about it last night and it was $20.
The only reason I joined was because both of my Chase credit cards had a Chase Offer of 10% off up to $240 purchase that expired on Dec 31, 2023.
When I joined it was $15 with the Groupon coupon.
I bought 5x $50 and 2x $20 Sam's Club physical gift cards with one card.
I bought a $200 VISA eGift card + $6.48 fee and $20 Burger King eGift card with one card.
Chase credited the 10%. $24 + $22.65 = $46.65 + $4.66 (1% base) = $51.31
Even after the $6.48 fee, I am ahead $51.31 - $6.48 - $15 = $29.83 on $460 = 6.48%
You can use Sam's Club gift cards at Walmart.
This was the first time I had seen any offer for Sam's Club on my Chase credit cards.
It is a gamble.
Maybe give the $20 credit to someone who can use it.
