Sams Club Business Membership? Not Gonna Help You., Just talked to Sams Dist. Manager Options

[Cog]

Heh, I had one of the ladies in customer service tell me that they get whatever systems are left over after wallmart has thier pick... wasnt very nice but I kinda laughed in her face.

Not sure if it was worth it, she wouldent answer anymore of my questions after that.

Ive called a dozen different sams clubs and they are all telling me the exact same number of available systems.. 20-25.

see you there at 7:00am

[pdstrader]

Both Sams around me said 20 systems and they will not be opening for the general public at 7, only business members

Costco is only open for Executive Memebers at 10am, it's 11 am for everyone else (except Sundays). I've already have some pre-ordered at EB and Blockbuster and I'm getting some from either BestB or Target. If that doesn't work out then I'm hitting Costco (Exec. Mem.).

My house is gonna be the place to be for Thanksgiving!! Yes!

I've called 3 sams in my local area & spoke to managers and was told only business members at 7am. I will call on monday night to ensure this as well

I contacted one of the nearby Sams last night about the release. They said that Business members are able enter the store and purchase at 7am. She didn't know if there'd be a line. Makes sense as the nearby Walmart stores close at 9pm or 10pm Monday and reopen at 7am too. Also keep in mind that Sams only takes Visa and Discover (besides cash/check). MC holders will be out of luck.

The above poster is my brother and i am going to copy and paste what i wrote in another thread here.....

"haha thats funny. They are clearly lieing.(regarding shortages)

I know because my family is well respected at Sams Club for being one of the top spends there for our business. I went there a few days ago and asked if they got any 360's in yet. The manager said yes and I told him to show me them.

I saw a fucking mountain of premium and a few cores. I asked him to sell me 5 right now he said he couldn't and showed me a memo with explicit instructions stating that he cannot sell them untill Nov. 22 Morning.

But the good news is this. He promised me I will be thefirst person they will sell the system to because they open at 7 am for business owners and 8 am for normal members. i wont have to camp at all, but you all shouldn't worry."

If I go to Sam's Club with my mom's Sams Club Business Membership card and take along a friend, can I use 2 of my mom's business membership cards to purchase 2 of them, or are we both on the same account allowing us to only buy one? ( I have 2 different cards, not sure of it counts as the same member ).

It'll be the same account and it said limit 1 per customer, so it wont work this way.

I'm a business member and I plan on getting up early Tuesday morning (to get there around 6 am) and heading over to Sam's Club. I'll be passing by there tomorrow to see what they say about how many they will be getting. The one I'll be going to is in Sunrise (Sawgrass Mills - South Florida), FL. Good luck everyone!

I'll probably go to wal-mart or bestbuy at around 12PM, then I'll be having a friend go to Sams Club around 6AM, and bringing my other friend to wal-mart with me, 3 total, I was wondering if I should go to COMPUSA, Bestbuy, or wal-mart?
