If you’re a Sam’s Club Plus member, keep an eye on your inbox tonight — a gift card sale is rolling out that’s worth grabbing before it disappears. According to the deal alert, Plus members should see these live at 9PM ET on 7/23, with everyone else able to shop starting around midnight ET into 7/24.
What’s in the sale
The headline item is a bundle of five $20 Nintendo eShop gift cards ($100 face value) for $80 — a straightforward 20% discount delivered by email. The same sale also includes other brands at a similar discount structure, per the deal listing: Ulta gift cards at $98 for $120 in value, Smashburger cards at $35 for $50 in value, and Topgolf cards at $50-$75 face value. These are digital, email-delivery gift cards, so there’s nothing to pick up in-store — just a code that lands in your inbox.
Who this is best for
- Gamer households: If your family already buys digital games, DLC, or Nintendo Online subscriptions, the eShop cards are the easiest win here — you’re paying $80 for $100 of spending power on something you’d buy anyway.
- Back-to-school stockers: With school starting back up soon, Ulta cards at this discount are worth setting aside for teens who like their own beauty and skincare picks, without you having to guess sizes or shades.
- Family outing planners: Topgolf and Smashburger cards are a solid way to prep for a low-effort family night out this summer — buy now at a discount, use later.
- Anyone who already has Sam’s Club Plus: This is membership-gated, so it’s really built for people already paying for Plus and looking to make that membership pencil out.
A few caveats
- This is Plus-member-exclusive, at least for the early access window — regular Club members reportedly have to wait until close to midnight ET on 7/24.
- It’s time-limited to essentially one night, based on the listing, so this isn’t a browse-later kind of deal.
- Email delivery only — double check your spam folder after purchase, and make sure the email address on your Sam’s Club account is one you actually check.
- Gift card sales like this tend to sell out fast or get capped per household, so don’t expect to load up on dozens of cards.
Bottom line
A 20% discount on gift cards you’d realistically use — gaming, beauty, or a family outing — is a solid stack, especially if you’re already a Sam’s Club Plus member. If you’re not signed up for Plus yet and know you’ll use several of these categories, this kind of sale is the type of perk that can make the membership worth it. Since the window here is short, it’s worth checking your Sam’s Club account or app tonight rather than waiting.
Heads up: always confirm current pricing and availability directly on Sam’s Club before purchasing, since gift card promotions like this can end without much notice.
