Sam's Club Plus members are frustrated as the coveted perk of free shipping on orders will be changing effective August 19. Customers will now have to spend a minimum of $50 on qualifying items to receive free shipping, or pay an $8 flat rate fee for orders that fall below this threshold. This change has sparked outrage on social media, with some members threatening to switch to Costco due to the new shipping policy. Sam's Club claims that the minimum cart requirement will provide more shopping options for members. Despite the backlash, Plus members will still have access to other benefits such as free same-day delivery, curbside pickup, and rewards currency. Sam's Club has yet to comment on the situation, but is currently offering a discounted Plus membership. Overall, customers are expressing disappointment and frustration with the upcoming changes.
