"Members can, however, apply for an additional membership card for their spouse or another member of their household who is over the age of 18. It's similar to adding people to your Costco membership. However, that card will have its own unique membership number on it, as well as the name of the add-on member. This means that you can't give that to anyone else, either."
"If you're thinking that you could just give your membership card to a friend and tell them to use your name, we're sorry to tell you that there's a good chance your photograph is in the Sam's Club system. Members are typically asked to provide a photograph when they sign up, and you need a government-issued ID to pick up a new membership card in-store."
"While older cards have the photographs on them, most newer cards just have the membership number and barcode. Digital barcodes, which are available via the Sam's Club app, are also now widely used in the place of physical cards. Some people have had luck using the cards of their friends or family members, so it might just depend on how strict your location is."
Sam's Club requires members to hold a membership card to shop and operates nearly 600 locations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Membership cards are non-transferable; only the member on record may use a card. Members can add a spouse or household adult over 18 as an additional member, and each additional card carries its own unique membership number and the add-on member's name. Sam's Club typically requests a photograph at signup and requires government-issued ID to pick up a new card. Older cards displayed photos while newer cards often show only numbers or digital barcodes via the Sam's Club app. Enforcement of card-sharing rules can vary by location.
