Does Sam’s Club Take EBT?

One thing our members have asked us to do is add EBT SNAP as a payment option in our Scan & Go mobile app. Now, EBT SNAP can be used at some Sam’s Club stores with our Scan & Go service. This makes Sam’s Club the first store to accept digital EBT payments for in-store purchases.

Sam’s Club accepts SNAP cards, which are also called EBT cards, at all of its stores, but not for purchases made on SamsClub.com. At Sam’s Club, you have to be a member to use SNAP. Food stamps and Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards are other names for SNAP cards.
