\"Costco\"<\/div>\r\n

Location<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nCostco has, by far, the most locations compared to Sam\u2019s Club and BJ\u2019s. There are approximately\u00a0741<\/a>\u00a0Costco locations,\u00a0597<\/a>\u00a0Sam\u2019s Club locations and\u00a0210<\/a>\u00a0BJ\u2019s locations. Costco shops are worldwide with locations in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Japan, among others,\u00a0statista.com<\/a>\u00a0reports. Meanwhile, Sam\u2019s Club locations can be found coast-to-coast in the United States, according to\u00a0allstays.com<\/a>. BJ\u2019s has the smallest operation with locations only on the East Coast and in Ohio.\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Sam's<\/div>\r\n

Membership costs<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nAlthough Costco has the most locations of these warehouse stores, the store also has the highest yearly membership cost. The most basic annual membership cost is\u00a0$60<\/a>, in comparison to\u00a0$45<\/a>\u00a0for Sam\u2019s Cub and\u00a0$55<\/a>\u00a0for BJ\u2019s, per their official websites. If you\u2019re shopping without a membership, you\u2019ll pay a 10 percent service fee at most Sam\u2019s Club locations and a 20 percent fee at most BJ\u2019s locations,\u00a0Business Insider<\/a>\u00a0reports. Costco non-members only receive a\u00a05 percent service fee<\/a>.\u00a0One review\u00a0of Costco and Sam\u2019s Club notes<\/a>, however, that although Costco has a higher membership price, it offers a wider selection of services and a prescription program. Sam\u2019s Club requires a membership upgrade for the latter.\r\n\r\nHere are\u00a0items you can buy at Costco without a membership<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"BJ's\"<\/div>\r\n

Rewards<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nAll three stores have very similar rewards programs if you upgrade to a pricer membership.\u00a0Costco\u2019s Executive Membership offers a 2 percent reward on travel services in addition to a 2 percent reward on up to $1,000 a year, per\u00a0Cheapism<\/a>. In comparison, Sam\u2019s Club Plus rewards $10 for ever $500 spent and up to $500 a year. And BJ\u2019s offers 2 percent cash back too if you sign up for their\u00a0Perks Rewards\u00a0card.\r\n\r\nHere are ways to shop at Sam\u2019s Club without a membership.<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Customer<\/div>\r\n

Prices<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nThere are countless price comparison reports for Costco, Sam\u2019s Club, and BJ\u2019s. According to\u00a0one comparison<\/a>, BJ\u2019s just barely topped Costco for the best pricing, followed by Sam\u2019s Club. In\u00a0another comparison<\/a>, Costco products were cheaper than that at Sam\u2019s Club\u2014but the cost of membership was also taken into account making Costco\u2019s cost more for the first visit. However, this isn't always true. Just look at the price of Costco hotdogs versus Sam's Club hot dogs<\/a>\u2014Costco's are 12 cents higher than Sam's Club's. Another review<\/a>\u00a0found that BJ\u2019s has the best prices followed by Sam\u2019s Club, and then Costco. Note, cost is relative to the types of products you purchase\u2014like organic or non-organic produce, for example\u2014as well as the level membership you purchase, and your location.\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"\"<\/div>\r\n

Return policies<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nNeither Costco nor Sam\u2019s Club have a hard deadline for non-electronic returns, per\u00a0Cheapism<\/a>. Although, Sam\u2019s Club recommends having the receipt and original packaging. As for BJ\u2019s, items purchased over a year ago aren\u2019t returnable; neither is used merchandise without the original packaging and accessories. BJ\u2019s also has\u00a0a list of items\u00a0that are not returnable<\/a>.\r\n\r\nHere are the most expensive items you can buy at Costco<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\r\n

Shopping experiences<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nAccording to the\u00a0American Customer Satisfaction Index<\/a>\u00a0(ACSI), Costco ranks higher in customer satisfaction than Sam\u2019s Club and BJ\u2019s. The report ranks America\u2019s best department and discount stores based on more than 50,000 customer surveys, according to the\u00a0Statesman<\/em><\/a>. Another survey by Tamkin ranked various companies based on customer service. In that survey, Costco barely out-did Sam\u2019s Club and BJ\u2019s with 79 percent of respondents giving the store a \u201cgood\u201d or an \u201cexcellent\u201d rating,\u00a0Money Talks News<\/a>\u00a0reports.\r\n\r\nNext, check out these Costco tips frequent shoppers swear by<\/a>.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
