Shoppers at Sam’s Club will no longer need to ensure that they have the correct credit card on hand or that they’ve brought cash: as of February 1, 2015, the warehouse club will begin accepting Visa credit cards in its stores, finally making all four credit card networks accepted in its stores.
Wait… didn’t Sam’s already accept Visa? That’s complicated, and it involves the fees each credit network charged to Sam’s and to corporate parent Walmart. We shoppers don’t see these fees, but when you’re a mega-retailer like Walmart, small differences in fees make a huge difference.

There is absolutely no reason in the world I will pay a "cover charge" to be a member of a "club" in order to be told how I am to pay for something and be treated like I've shoplifted something at the door on my way out. Sam's prices may be marginally lower, but I'd rather shop where I decide on what is a bargain and what is not. If I want to save 5-6%, I'll drive 2 miles to Delaware and be treated like a human being.
Just be happy to live in the greatest country on earth.Our lack of being grateful creates a ball and chain that prevents us from succeeding in life.
Screw them they won't even lower the gas prices.
I agree, It bothers me I have to show my member's card to enter Sam's. Then I present it to the cashier when I check out. Then I must show my receipt before I exit the store. This is the most ridiculous policy I have ever seen! So after I pay at the register they check to make sure I didn't shoplift from the register to the exit door. I don't shop at Sam's very much, and I don't buy hugh quantities of merchandise. I just don't like going in the store dealing with the long lines, and this ridiculous policy.
So, leave them. Jesus, are you that stupid? You do know it's a voluntary membership. No one forces you to join and pay that money. There is no saving this country with you people here.
Anonymous 9:07 you are a idiot! Just because you don't agree with a policy at a store doesn't mean you still won't shop there. Hell, ALL grocery stores have the ridiculous discount cards to get savings. I think they are stupid, but it doesn't stop me from buying groceries. I don't agree with gas prices when they were $3.74, however I still needed gas! You have shown your ignorance.
9:31 Then shut up about it. They have policies, like almost every other place of business. Deal with it and shut up, or choose not to go. And, it's "aN idiot" oh wise one.
If you dont like them dont go there. I have always used visa there. And to the idiot about the gas, their gas prices are always among the lowest. They are always going down.
Walmart just held out for a better deal than everyone else. Sure the fees cut into every business, but we all do it for our customers.
They have a racist running the show until she's gone I won't shop there.
