Sam's Club

As the world has been figuring out the new retail landscape, we’ve been investigating warehouse stores like Costco and Sam’s Club as your electronics alternative. Well, as it so happens, Sam’s Club is in the middle of Member’s Mark Month. Now through June 16, when you sign up for a Sam’s Club Membership you can get a special rate. A Sam’s Club member at the ‘Club’ tier now costs only $20 instead of the usual $50, a savings of $30, and a Sam’s Club Plus membership costs $60 instead of the usual $110, saving you $50. Of course, it needs to be a new Sam’s Club membership or (at the very least) you couldn’t be have not been one for 6 months to qualify for the offer.

If you’re intrigued, be sure to tap the button below and sign up. Alternatively, keep reading to see which membership is best for you, how the memberships can pay for themselves, and what you should buy at Sam’s Club to make it all worth your while.

Why you should get a Sam’s Club membership

While there are plenty of perks to a Sam’s Club membership, if we’re talking discounts, lets also talk money. What is a warehouse membership, anyhow? To reiterate on a point that we’ve stated over and over again, you pay for a membership and gain discounts and services. In theory, and hopefully in practice, this means that the membership could pay for itself. This membership deal makes it easier to tip the balance in your favor. Consider it your opportunity to weather the trade war — whether you continue with the membership afterwards is up to you, after all.

So, here’s the value: We did a lengthy look at the perks and discounts Sam’s Club (and Costco) can give you. As before, the Plus tier membership gives you the most benefits, and we zeroed in on just three (of many) to examine what you’ll get. Of these, the most critical is the 2% back you get on purchases. That’s $2 back to you per $100 spent, or $3,000 for the full $60 your membership costs. If you think you spend anywhere close to $3,000 per year on electronics and other Sam’s Club buys, then you can benefit from this membership. Remember, this isn’t the only perk you’ll get (again, check out our guides for extended coverage) so there will be plenty of chances to turn the whole affair into a savings machine for you and your family. If you’re having trouble thinking about what you may buy, check out our warehouse store electronics shopping guide for ideas on what you should buy (and what you should skip entirely) at these stores.

Right now you can get a Sam’s Club ‘Club’ membership or ‘Plus’ membership for just $20 and $60, respectively. That’s a savings of $30 or $50 off of the usual prices of $50 and $110, but those savings are only yours now through June 16, so be sure to sign up and start saving now.

Sam’s Club Memorial Day deal: Get a year’s membership for $14
A Sam's club storefront.

If you want to be a Sam's Club member and get access to the extra goodies they offer, free shipping on most things in their online store, and more, this is the only time to join up. The reason is because it is $25 for an annual membership, not $50, for Memorial Day. All you need to do to qualify is be in the U.S. and not have had a membership at any point in the past six months -- that includes people who have never been members. If you know about Sam's Club and shop via the Walmart subsidiary already, then that's probably all you're going to need to know. Just tap the button below to find the offer. Otherwise, keep reading for a quick overview of membership benefits and what you can expect to find at Sam's Club.

Why you should get a Sam's Club membership
Just about every company has a membership card these days. For example, if you're participating in any deals for the Best Buy Memorial Day sale, you'll notice that there are some offers that can get you an extra $50 or so off if you belong to Best Buy Plus. Sam's Club is no different, though what a membership entails might be. In addition to extra savings, your Sam's Club membership will get you same day delivery for just $12, special members-only gas prices at select fueling stations, and some free services (including flat tire repair) at the Sam's Club Tire and Battery Center.

It’s time to get creative: Get up to 20% off Autodesk software with this deal
Tech Center at Birmingham, Hermle using autodesk software to design.

This content was produced in partnership with Autodesk.
AutoCAD has long been a staple of design and drafting tool sets, from architects and engineers to construction pros. It allows you to both design and annotate your creations, using 2D geometry and 3D models complete with textures, solids, surfaces, and mesh objects. Why does that matter? It massively helps design new physical objects and spaces in a digital form. But AutoCAD goes way beyond that, as do most of Autodesk's software tools. It can be expensive to sign up for access, especially if you have a small to medium-sized team. With the current Autodesk software deal, you not only have the opportunity to try out the tools for free, but also you can get a significant discount, and lock in your price for three years. Between April 17 and 20, you can get 20% off AutoCAD LT and Revit LT Suit, and 15% off AutoCAD. That discount drops AutoCAD's price down to $1,564 -- if paid annually -- saving you nearly $400 ($391). That's an excellent deal but it won't be available for very long so act soon.

This Autodesk software deal nets you access to the company's latest products, namely AutoCAD which is an incredibly useful design and creativity tool. The most important takeaway is that it helps you complete your professional projects faster by unlocking access to automations and customizations. For example, you can fully customize your workspace with add-on apps and APIs that essentially transform the way you create, manipulate, and work with objects in the toolset. You can make things faster, especially the more you use the tool for your designs.

Amazon Echo Buds 2 in charging case.

This deal — which takes the $140 Amazon Echo Buds 2, drops the price by 61% (a discount of $85), and sells them for just $55 — really reminds you that Amazon is alive and well as a producer. Tap the button below to check out this neat headphones deal yourself or keep reading to see our take.
