Here's how to cancel your Sam's Club membership in person. This is the most common and fastest method for most members.
01
Visit any Sam's Club location
Go to any Sam's Club warehouse club with your membership card or the phone number associated with your account. You don't need to visit your original signup location.
02
Go to the membership desk
Head to the Membership Desk or Customer Service counter, usually located near the entrance. Look for signs that say "Member Services" or ask any employee for directions.
03
Request cancellation
Tell the associate you want to cancel your membership. They may ask for your reason for cancelling, but this is optional feedback — you're not required to justify your decision.
