To Activate your Sams Club Credit Card, open a web browser and navigate to www.samsclubcredit.com/activate on your desktop or laptop computer. To proceed to the next screen, click ‘Register now’ on the login page’s ‘Login’ button.
Quick steps — activate at the website
Open your browser and go to https://www.samsclubcredit.com (type it yourself — avoid clicking links in emails).
Look for a button or link labeled “Activate Card” or “Activate your card” on the homepage.
You’ll be asked to enter information from your card and identity details. Typical fields:
16‑digit card number (from the front of the card).
Last 4 digits of your Social Security number (or other ID info shown).
ZIP code or billing address.
Possibly the card expiration date or CVV.
Follow on‑screen prompts to confirm your identity and complete activation. You may be asked to set up online account credentials (username/password) at the same time.
When finished you should see a confirmation message. Try a small purchase (or check account status) to confirm the card is active.
Alternate methods
Phone activation: Call the activation number printed on the sticker affixed to your new card or the phone number on the back of the card. If you don’t have the card on hand, use the customer service number printed in your welcome letter (or on Sam’s Club account pages).
Mobile app / online account: If you already have an online account with the card issuer (or Sam’s Club account), you may be able to activate the card by signing in to the issuer’s site or app and looking for “Activate Card” under account options.
In‑store: If you prefer, Sam’s Club customer service at a club may assist with next steps — bring your card and ID.
If activation fails — troubleshooting
Double‑check you typed the card number, SSN last 4, ZIP, and expiration correctly (digits transposed are common).
Ensure you’re using a secure connection: the site should show https:// and a padlock icon.
If the site reports the card is already active, try signing in to the card account instead of activating.
Clear your browser cache or try a different browser or private/incognito window.
Try activating by phone if the web activation won’t proceed.
If you see an error about identity verification, have the mailed welcome packet handy — it contains the exact info the issuer expects.
