Members Who Get a Flu Shot Soon at Sam's Club Will Receive a $5 In-Club Shopping Credit

It's time to start thinking about the upcoming flu season, and many pharmacies already have flu shots in stock. If you want to protect yourself, now is an excellent time to get your vaccine. And Sam's Club members who get flu shots at the warehouse club will get a $5 in-club shopping credit. Find out what you need to know about this members-only promotion.

You can get vaccinated at Sam's Club pharmacies

Sam's Club is more than a place to buy clothes, electronics, food, furniture, and everyday essentials. The popular warehouse club also has an optical center and pharmacy, so members can get a deal while taking care of their healthcare needs.

Of course, you can fill your prescriptions at the pharmacy, but you can also get various vaccines. Vaccination appointments can be booked in advance, but walk-ins are also welcome. If you're a member, you may want to save yourself some time and get your vaccines here.

Get rewarded for getting your flu shot at Sam's Club

Flu shots are in at Sam's Club. For many people with health insurance, there's a $0 co-pay. Even better, Sam's Club members who get a flu shot from Aug. 30 through Sept. 24 will get a $5 in-club shopping credit. If you're planning to get a flu shot, this promotion offers a simple way to save money on an upcoming Sam's Club shopping trip without much extra effort.

You can only use the $5 credit on in-club purchases, but not purchases made through SamsClub.com or when placing Curbside Pickup orders. The credit will automatically be applied to your next in-club purchase at a register or when you use Scan & Go.

This offer is only available to active Sam's Club members. Getting $5 off your next in-club purchase at Sam's Club can be a win for your checking account. If you plan to take advantage of this deal, make sure you get your flu shot by Sept. 24 so you don't miss out.

Non-members can save on prescription costs

While the above promotion only applies to current members, it's worth noting that Sam's Club pharmacy is open to non-members who want to buy prescription medications. When filling a prescription with a script, there is no fee charged for non-members.

If you live near a Sam's Club and want to get a deal on prescription medication prices, you may want to call your local club's pharmacy to inquire about pricing for your medications. Life is expensive, and every expense adds up quickly, so it may be worthwhile to see if you can save money by switching pharmacies.

Need to get an eye exam? Non-members can also get a vision exam at the Sam's Club optical center. However, you must be a Sam's Club member to purchase optical products like prescription eyeglasses and contacts.

Should you join Sam's Club?

Even though some services are available to non-members, you may want to consider whether it makes sense to become a member to take advantage of the many deals offered. A yearly membership will cost you $50 to $110, depending on membership type.

If you love a good deal and are working on important personal finance goals, it may be worth the cost to become a member. Not sure what the benefits of joining are beyond the discounts? Here are a few lesser-known perks of a Sam's Club membership.
