Hoping to better compete with arch-rival Costco Wholesale (COST, +1.12%) and Amazon.com, Sam’s Club said on Wednesday that it’s now offering free shipping for many items to its premium members as part of a restructuring to its membership programs.
The bulk retailer, a unit of Walmart Inc (WMT, +0.35%), says that the bulk of items it sells online will qualify and that there will be no minimum order size for customers who have a “Plus” membership, which costs $100 annually. Exceptions will include merchandise that is only available for curbside pickup such as fresh and frozen food (groceries account for nearly 60% of company revenue), bulk items, and products sent directly to customers by a third party.

Do you do this and then get a new membership? I’m not sure what you are saying.
Wut?
You get the Sam’s refund if you cancel. If you aren’t using your membership, rather than wait for it to expire, you can get a refund.
