We just got back from Sam's with the certificate and got our cards, and the comp chicken and salsa - decided to forego the 8 free cupcakes till company comes over. Used the $20 gift card to pay a portion of other stuff we got - one thing was very nice slab of fresh salmon for $7.99 lb.
Sorry VJ re the freebees for the newbees on deals as this... I know how it is - pet peeve of mine too - banks, credit card co.s, cable etc etc. Many simply don't care much even with new customer acquisition relatively costly for companies. With some, you can push their buttons upon renewal (even threaten to quit them) and get better rates and such. I'd bet Sam's is take it/leave it.
We thought we'd give them a try for the year and see the worth for us. So far... that rotisserie chicken sure smells good. For $4.99 and the size of the bird=must be a loss leader for them.
