Pay your Sam's Club Mastercard online, by phone, or by mail
You can pay your Sam's Club Mastercard balance through Sam's Club's website, by calling their customer service line, or by mailing a check. The fastest route is online through your account portal, where the payment posts the same business day if you submit before the cutoff time (usually 8 p.m. ET). Phone and mail payments take longer — phone payments may post within one business day, while mailed checks typically take five to seven business days to reach the payment processing center.
Sam's Club does not charge a fee for any of these payment methods. You can pay the full balance, make a partial payment, or pay just the minimum due. Your payment due date appears on your monthly statement and in your online account.

Paying online through your Sam's Club account
Log into your Sam's Club membership account at samsclub.com using your email and password. Once logged in, look for the credit card section or account services menu. Select your Sam's Club Mastercard from the list of accounts if you have more than one card.
Click on "Make a Payment" or the payment option in your account dashboard. Enter the amount you want to pay — you can choose to pay the full balance, the minimum due, or a custom amount. Review the payment details, including the amount and the date the payment will post, then confirm the transaction. You will receive a confirmation number when ready.
If you use the Sam's Club mobile app, the process is the same. Open the app, navigate to your credit card account, and select the payment option. The app will guide you through entering your payment amount and confirming the transaction.
Paying by phone with Sam's Club customer service
Call the customer service number on the back of your Sam's Club Mastercard. A representative will ask for your account number and the amount you want to pay. Have your payment method ready — you can pay using a bank account (checking or savings) or another credit card.
Phone payments are available seven days a week, typically from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. ET, though hours may vary. The representative will confirm the payment amount, the date it will post, and provide a confirmation number. Keep this number for your records.
If you prefer not to speak with a representative, Sam's Club also offers an automated phone payment system. Call the number on your statement and follow the prompts to enter your payment information and amount using your phone keypad.
Paying by mail
Write a check or money order for the amount you want to pay. Write your Sam's Club Mastercard account number on the front of the check in the memo line. Include a payment stub from your statement if you have one — this helps the payment processing center match your payment to your account quickly.
Mail your payment to the address shown on your monthly statement under "Payment Address" or "Send Payment To." Do not mail your payment to a Sam's Club store location. Allow five to seven business days for your payment to arrive and post to your account. If you are paying close to your due date, mail is not the best option because delays in delivery could result in a late payment.
Setting up automatic payments
Log into your Sam's Club account online and navigate to your credit card account settings. Look for an option labeled "Autopay," "Automatic Payments," or "Recurring Payments." Select this option to set up a payment that will be deducted from your bank account automatically each month.
Choose the payment amount — you can set it to pay your full balance, the minimum due, or a fixed amount each month. Select the date you want the payment to post each month, ideally a few days before your due date to avoid late fees. Confirm your bank account information and the payment schedule. You can change or cancel automatic payments at any time through your account settings.
Automatic payments reduce the risk of missing a payment important date and can help you stay on top of your balance. You will still receive your monthly statement and can make additional payments anytime without affecting your automatic payment schedule.
What to do if your payment is late
If your payment does not arrive by the due date, contact Sam's Club customer service when ready. Explain when you sent the payment and provide any confirmation number you received. The representative can check whether the payment has been received and processed.
If your payment was mailed and has not arrived, you may need to make another payment right away to avoid a late fee. Once the original payment arrives, you can request a refund for the duplicate payment. If you believe the late payment was due to an error on Sam's Club's part, ask to speak with a supervisor about waiving any late fees.
Late payments can affect your credit score, so it is important to address them quickly. If you are struggling to make your payment on time, contact customer service to discuss your options — some representatives may be able to adjust your due date or work out a payment plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay my Sam's Club credit card with another credit card?
Yes, you can pay by phone using another credit card. However, paying a credit card with another credit card typically incurs a cash advance fee and higher interest rates. Paying from a bank account or with a check avoids these extra charges.
What time does my online payment post?
Online payments submitted before the cutoff time (usually 8 p.m. ET) post the same business day. Payments submitted after the cutoff or on weekends and holidays post the next business day. Your confirmation screen will show the expected posting date.
Is there a minimum payment amount?
Sam's Club does not publicly state a minimum payment amount for individual transactions. You can pay any amount from a few dollars to your full balance. However, your account will have a minimum due amount each month, shown on your statement.
Can I get a refund if I overpay?
If you pay more than your balance, the extra amount becomes a credit on your account. You can use this credit toward future purchases or request a refund by contacting customer service. Refunds are typically issued to your original payment method within five to seven business days.
What happens if I miss a payment?
A missed payment can result in a late fee and may be reported to credit bureaus, affecting your credit score. Contact Sam's Club when ready if you miss a due date. The sooner you make the payment, the less impact it will have on your account and credit history.
