What is it?

This is a charge from Sam's Club. The company is a chain of membership-only retail warehouse stores that are owned and operated by Walmart. Sam's Club sells limited items in each category to provide discounts to customers. The company offers two membership tiers, which are automatically renewed each year unless you opt out.

Sam's Club Memberships:

  • Club membership for $50 a year
  • Plus membership for $110 a year

The Plus membership includes free shipping, Sam's cash back on certain purchases and early shopping privileges.

Some of Sam's Club's products include:

  • Groceries
  • Kitchen and dining
  • Appliances
  • Bedding and bath
  • Home improvement
  • TVs and home theater
  • Furniture
  • Electronics
  • Beauty and personal care

Why this charge may appear on your card

You're likely seeing this charge because you renewed your membership at Sam's Club. The company may have automatically renewed your subscription as well. New customers who buy a membership with a debit or credit card are automatically enrolled with Auto Renew and are given notice of participation in auto renewal when joining.

If you didn't make this payment or Sam's didn't automatically renew your membership, it's possible someone else did, which may be an early indication of fraud.

You can sign in to your Sam's Club account online and check your renewal date. Membership fees can be paid with accrued Sam's Cash, credit or debit cards on file, or you can add a new card for the renewal. Your receipt can be found in your Sam's Club account purchase history.

What can you do?

If you didn't want your Sam's Club membership renewed or auto-renewed, you can cancel at any time by calling 1-888-746-7726 or online through your Sam's Club account.

If you don't have a Sam's Club membership and don't recognize the charge, you can contact your bank or credit card company and dispute the charges and try to recover the money.

How to Contact Sam's Club

You can contact the company on Sam's Club website.

I was notified of a $45 charge on my credit card from Sam's annex. I looked up when I first purchased my Sam's Club membership and it was one year ago to the day. Later, I received a confirmation email from Sam's Club that my membership was automatically renewed. This was a legitimate charge.

I too had a 45$ charge. Googled and saw all of this. Even if it is Sams club, how do they have my debit card number? And I have NEVER GIBEN PERMISSION!! NEVER for any automatic renewal. I’m not happy about this at all. I personally, would love to know how they have my information.

I have a 50$ charge that is pending on my Cash App account it keeps trying to go through.. I did Not make this charge I live in Ms not Arkansas I would like my information off your systems. Someone is trying to use my card info and this is card fraud.

I have a bogus charge on my debit card of $100.00 on 4/19/2022. Its from Sams annex which I've never heard of. Contacted my bank and they say there have been several reports of the same fraud. Please investigate if you will.

Said it is a Sam's renewal payment but my account isn't set up to auto renew nor was ot time to renew.

I got this charge as well. My bank verified that it was indeed a renewal to sams club. HOWEVER, I am irate that they would take it upon themselves to "automatically" take a payment that I NEVER signed up for. I will be calling my local sams to ask about it then raise some holy cane about them doing this. Always check into charges you do not recognize.

It is the Sam's membership charge. Your Sam's account defaults to automatic renewal. When you log into the app or your account you can move the toggle to not auto renew.

I contacted Sam's Club at 888-746-7726. The agent did verify that this was the annual renewal, and that the renewal charge does show as Sam's Annex.

Can you help? What is this charge?
