Summary

  • $25 first-year Club memberships and $55 Plus memberships headline Sam's Club's Prime Day counterprogramming, down from the usual $60 and $120 annual fees.
  • 49% off a $3,495 LG French-door refrigerator, 31% off a $1,600 Roborock Saros 10 and 24% off an $899 HP OmniBook 7 lead the broader sale across appliances, tech and home goods.
  • Sam's Club is using the event to pull in shoppers beyond Amazon, while keeping its biggest discounts tied to membership even though non-members can still buy online through guest accounts.
  • June 23-26 is when Amazon's Prime Day runs this year, giving warehouse rivals including Sam's Club a clear window to pitch alternative deals.
