Sam’s Club Membership Card Changes In New Jersey? What You Need To Know
When you walk into Sam's Club, you have to flash your membership card to the person working at the front door to get in, however, that could soon be a thing of the past.
I was just at Sam's Club yesterday, and the membership card gets me every time.
I always have to stop and dig through my purse to find my card buried in my wallet.
That's why I would be a huge fan of a digital membership card, although some people are not happy about it.

There's been a lot of talk online recently about how Sam's Club is moving away from membership cards.
According to a report from TheStreet.com, Sam's Club is encouraging members to no longer use a physical card, but instead have them use the app to cut down on membership sharing.
To get in, you would scan your phone to prove you're a member.
The Sam's Club website says, "You have instant access to your digital membership card as soon as you join. It’s in the Sam’s Club app, so there’s no need for a physical card to start shopping."
I think the app would make the shopping experience so much easier, but not everyone is happy about the change.
What happens if someone doesn't have a smartphone?
That was one concern that was mentioned several times online, or you get behind someone who doesn't know how to use it.
Well, that's not a problem.
According to the Sam's Club website, "If you’d still like a physical card, you can request one at the Member Service Desk during your next club visit. You’ll need your membership number and a government-issued ID to pick up your card."
You can still use your regular membership card at the Sam's Club I go to, but using a digital membership would be so much easier!
