Payment Options

The information under payment options about Sam's Club not accepting Visa credit cards is no longer valid. According to Chase Bank, this has changed: https://www.chase.com/digital/wholesale

I don't know a whole lot about the rules of editing articles or citing sources, but I figured I'd mention it here if anyone is interested in taking care of this. 68.111.138.236 (talk) 01:14, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Hi 68.111.138.236! The Sam's Club website lists Visa credit cards as an accepted payment method. Also, when I checked the Chase website you provided, it also said Visa cards are accepted at Sam's Club. I think it has been constantly changing over the last few years. Have a great day, Daylen (talk) 05:24, 7 December 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Number of stores

Reference #1^[1] is supposed to state that there are 597 Sam's Club stores in the U.S. However, it doesn't state that. It only states that 63 stores closed in January. 165.91.13.41 (talk) 20:45, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Small updates

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hi editors, I'm TJ and I work for Walmart. I had a couple of small update suggestions for this article that I think will bring it up to date and add some sourcing where there currently is none.

First, I suggest adding the following two sentences to the second-to-last paragraph of the History section:

McClay announced plans in 2023 for the company to build 30 stores.^[1] She became CEO of Walmart International in 2023 and was succeeded as Sam's Club CEO by Christopher Nicholas.^[2]

Second, I suggest replacing the last sentence of the History section, which is currently unsourced, with the following:

As of January 2024, Sam's Club used an artificial intelligence-based receipt-checking technology at 10 stores that required customers to move through a portal to verify purchases. The company announced plans to put the technology in all of its stores by the end of 2024.^[3]^[4]

Finally, I suggest replacing the first sentence of the second paragraph of the Design section with the following, as the current sentence is no longer accurate:

Sam's Club consolidated its private labels under the Member's Mark brand in 2017.^[5]^[6]

Please let me know what you think! Happy to answer any questions. Because of my conflict of interest I cannot make changes myself. TJ at Walmart (talk) 15:36, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TJ at Walmart Hi TJ. I've added the changes you've requested, thank you for such clear instructions and for following the COI protocol. Could you double check that I have added the information in the correct sections? This is my first time fulfilling an edit request, so I apologise for any mistakes. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 03:18, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done - Marking done for the first time reviewer. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 16:26, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@NotCharizard: that all looks right to me, thanks so much for reviewing! TJ at Walmart (talk) 16:40, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Number of Employees

The number of employees is numbered at 2,300,000 which is Walmart's full employee force. Even though the source cited states this information, perhaps a change in source is needed. Sam's Club's own LinkedIn only specifies they have over 10,001 employees: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sam's-club GFRS1213 (talk) 04:06, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
