-
Don't expect a physical Black Friday ad: In 2024, Sam's Club skipped the traditional mailed ad and just did sneak peeks of the deals online a few days before the sale started.
-
This is the sale for home items, tech, toys, and gifts: Expect savings ranging from 10% - 50% on popular brands across electronics, kitchen essentials, clothing, and toys.

Gift card deals are reliably good: Sam's Club usually offers a variety of gift cards for under face value during Black Friday. They're online only and sell out fast, so make them a top priority.

Tips on How to Make Your Deal Shopping a Success
1. Shopping Options: Shop both online and in-store for most deals. Some deals (like photo discounts, furniture, mattresses, and eGift cards) are online exclusives only. Look for "Online Only" labels.
2. Doorbusters and Sellout Risk:
-
Weekend Doorbusters Available: Yes, about three weeks before Black Friday (early November), Sam's Club weekend doorbusters featuring a different selection of gift-worthy items that tend to sell out quickly.
-
High Sellout-Risk Items: Gift cards typically sell out within the first day. Hot electronics and toys also go fast.
-
Pro Tip: Plus members get early access, but some really hot deals (like discounted gift cards) are excluded from Plus early access anyway.
3. Holiday Policies:
-
Gift cards can't be returned.
-
You can return almost anything else, anytime, thanks to their generous return policy.
-
Expect all gift card specials to have purchase limits (usually a limit of two per person).
4. Membership Perks:
-
Plus Early Access: Shop online 12 hours early (starting noon ET on Nov. 26) and get into stores one hour early (8 a.m. vs. 9 a.m.).
-
Plus Benefits: Free shipping on orders of $50 or more.
-
Is it worth it? It's probably not necessary unless you're after a super-hot item that's tough to find in stock. Plus costs $110/year vs. $50 for regular Club membership.
-
New Membership Deal: The Sam's Club 1-Year Basic membership is typically on sale during Black Friday for $20 (regularly $50), or 60% off. Plus membership usually goes to $60 (regularly $110), which is 45% off. But there's an even better deal happening in October 2025 that lets you join for as low as $15 for your first year. These offers are for new sign-ups only.
5. Cyber Monday Sale: Yes, Cyber Monday starts Monday, Dec. 1, 2025, at 12:01 a.m. ET with online-only savings. Plus members typically get access three hours early. New deals arrive on Cyber Monday, but Sam's Club tends to offer different deals on different products for Black Friday vs. Cyber Monday — so don't skip Black Friday waiting for Cyber Monday.
