Compared to some other retailers, the Sam’s Club Black Friday sales event starts a bit late – only two days before Black Friday on Nov. 27. That’s when Plus members get access. We have the details.
Black Friday explained: The history behind the name
Understanding Black Friday: What is it and how did it get its name
Black Friday is coming early to Sam’s Club – if not as early as company standard-bearer Walmart and competitors Amazon and Target.
A division of Walmart Inc., Sam’s Club is already previewing some of its upcoming Black Friday deals on SamsClub.com. But exclusive early online access to Black Friday deals only begins for Plus members on the night of Wednesday, Nov. 27, at 9:01 p.m. ET and for other club members early Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28, at 12:01 a.m. ET.
The membership shopping club with 600 warehouse locations is closed on Thanksgiving, but early in-store shopping for Plus members begins Friday, Nov. 29, at 8 a.m. and runs until 10 a.m. At that time all club members can shop. The sale ends on Monday, Dec. 2.
Sam’s Club currently has sales on Plus and Club memberships: You can get a one-year standard Club membership for $25 (regularly $50) and a one-year Plus membership for $50 (regularly $110; includes free shipping on orders of $50 or more and 2% Sam’s Cash on in-club purchases).

Black Friday sales starting earlier
Some retailers have already begun Black Friday sales even though the official date is Friday, Nov. 29, the day after Thanksgiving.
Target kicked off its holiday shopping season with a three-day Early Black Friday Sale, earlier this month and continues with Deal of the Day specials for members of its Target Circle free loyalty programs each day through Christmas Eve. Earlier this week, Walmart’s online early Black Friday deals and in-store deals are available this weekend. Amazon’s Black Friday Week actually starts on Thursday, Nov. 21, and runs through Friday, Nov. 29.
Many shoppers do like to get an early start on holiday shopping – although there’s some uncertainty whether consumers will spend more in 2024. The National Retail Federation estimates consumer spending this holiday shopping season will be up 2.5% to 3.5% over 2023 by 2.5% to 3.5%.
Nearly half of shoppers (47%) start shopping for the holidays in October or earlier, according to a WalletHub survey, with the primary reasons being lower prices and having more time to enjoy the holidays. Another 22% say “that spreading out purchases across several months helps them avoid holiday debt,” said WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo in a press release about the survey.
