Does Sam’s club take EBT?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

Sam’s Club does accept EBT or SNAP cards at all of its club locations. This means that individuals who receive government assistance through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) can use their EBT cards to purchase eligible food items at Sam’s Club. It’s important to note that EBT cards can only be used for in-store purchases at Sam’s Club and not for any online purchases through the SamsClub.com website.

To use your EBT card at Sam’s Club, you will need to be a member of the club. Sam’s Club offers various membership options, including both individual and business memberships. Once you have a membership, you can simply present your EBT card at the checkout counter and inform the cashier that you would like to pay using SNAP benefits.

SNAP cards, also known as Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards or food stamps, are a form of payment that allows eligible individuals and families to purchase food items. These cards are loaded with a specific amount of funds each month, which can be used to buy groceries at authorized retailers like Sam’s Club.

It’s worth mentioning that while Sam’s Club accepts EBT cards for food purchases, it does not currently accept EBT for any non-food items. This means that you cannot use your EBT card to purchase items like electronics, household goods, or clothing at Sam’s Club. The use of EBT is limited to eligible food items only.

Additionally, if you choose to use Sam’s Club’s Curbside Pickup service, where you can place an order online and have it brought to your vehicle, you will need to pay for your order online. Unfortunately, EBT cannot be used as a form of payment for Curbside Pickup orders at this time. Therefore, if you wish to use your SNAP benefits for a Sam’s Club purchase, you will need to shop in-store.

Sam’s Club does accept EBT or SNAP cards for eligible food purchases at all of its club locations. However, EBT cannot be used for online purchases through SamsClub.com, and it is important to be aware that membership is required to use SNAP benefits at Sam’s Club.
