BJ’s Wholesale Club membership cost, as of November 2026: Club is $60 a year, and Club+ is $120 a year. Those are the prices shown on BJ’s own compare memberships page, before any sales tax. The business sign-up page shows the same pattern, with a Business Club card at $60 and a Club+ upgrade for an additional $60. In this guide I cover what each tier includes, when the extra $60 for Club+ pays for itself, what deals BJ’s actually shows, and how renewal, cancellation and refunds work.
This guide is written for store owners at Ecommerce Paradise, so there is a section on whether a business membership belongs in your operating costs. Every BJ’s figure below comes from BJ’s own pages, and anything those pages do not show is marked as not shown. This is not financial advice, terms change, and you should check the provider before you pay.
BJ’s Membership Cost at a Glance (November 2026)
Here is the summary. All fees are annual, and BJ’s pages say they exclude state and local taxes where those apply.
| Membership | Annual fee | Rewards | Gas, delivery and pickup | Who it fits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Club | $60 | None listed | Delivery starting at a $9.99 fee, $3.99 curbside fee on small orders, 20 cents a gallon average gas savings for all members | Shoppers who walk in a few times a month and want the base price |
| Club+ | $120 | 2% back on most purchases, up to $500 per membership year | An extra 5 cents a gallon at BJ’s Gas, 2 free same-day deliveries a year on eligible $50+ orders, free curbside and pickup | Households or businesses spending roughly $250 a month or more at BJ’s |
| Business Club | $60 | None listed | Same base tier, with reseller and tax-exempt options on the sign-up form | Owners buying supplies for the business |
| Business Club+ | $60 base plus $60 upgrade | 2% back on most BJ’s purchases | Same 2% rewards, with a $500 cap in any 12-month period | Owners with enough steady spend to earn the rewards |
| Extra household or supplemental cards | One additional household member included; up to 3 more at $35 each (business form shows up to 8 at $35 each) | Same tier as the primary card | Each person gets their own card | Spouses, partners, or employees who shop for you |
The short version: Club at $60 is the entry price, and Club+ at $120 only makes sense if your spending, gas and delivery habits add up to more than the extra $60. The sections below show the arithmetic so you can test it with your own numbers.
BJ’s Club vs Club+: What Each Tier Includes
BJ’s lists two consumer tiers. The comparison table lists a few shared features: app coupons, manufacturer coupons, a money-back guarantee, ExpressPay and one included additional household membership. The differences are where the money is.
Club: $60 a year
Club is the base membership. The page describes it as access to BJ’s prices, exclusive coupons, and shopping in the club or online. It lists no rewards rate for this tier.
On services, a Club member pays a delivery fee that starts at $9.99 for same-day delivery, according to the page, and the fee can change with location, order size, item value and delivery time. Curbside pickup carries a $3.99 fee on small orders. The table says orders of $50 or less, while the FAQ says under $50 and also says pickup has no minimum order amount, so the threshold wording is inconsistent on the page itself.
Club+: $120 a year
Club+ is tagged as the best-value tier. It earns 2% back in rewards on most purchases, capped at $500 per membership year, and the page says rewards can be redeemed once the balance reaches $10. BJ’s also states that Club+ rewards do not expire while your membership is active, excluding certain promotions.
Club+ adds an additional 5 cents off per gallon on every fill-up at BJ’s Gas, two free same-day deliveries each year on eligible orders of $50 or more, and always-free curbside and pickup. The delivery perk is limited to residential addresses and is not available in every ZIP code, per the page’s footnotes.
Gas savings for every member
BJ’s says all members save 20 cents a gallon on average at BJ’s Gas, and the page’s footnote says that average is based on OPIS data for unleaded gas in markets with a BJ’s Gas station, covering 2023 through 2025. It is an average, not a guarantee for your station. The page also describes a Fuel Saver program that gives 10 cents a gallon off your next fill-up within 30 days for each eligible item, up to 40 gallons or $99, whichever comes first.
Is BJ’s Club+ Worth the Extra $60?
Club+ costs $60 more than Club. The cleanest test is the 2% rewards rate, because it is the only perk with a dollar figure attached to your spending. Divide the $60 upgrade by 2% and you get $3,000 a year, or $250 a month, in purchases that earn the full rate.
The rewards break-even
The cap matters too. At 2%, you reach the $500 maximum after $25,000 of eligible spending in a membership year, so heavier buyers stop earning beyond that. The table uses hypothetical monthly spending and assumes every dollar earns the full 2%, which BJ’s does not promise because the page says “most purchases.”
| Monthly eligible spend (example) | Yearly spend | Rewards at 2% | Upgrade cost minus rewards | Club+ vs Club |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $100 | $1,200 | $24 | $36 | Club is $36 ahead |
| $250 | $3,000 | $60 | $0 | Even |
| $500 | $6,000 | $120 | -$60 | Club+ is $60 ahead |
| $1,000 | $12,000 | $240 | -$180 | Club+ is $180 ahead |
| $2,500 | $30,000 | $500 (capped) | -$440 | Club+ is $440 ahead |
Two cautions. Rewards are a credit toward future purchases, not cash, so they only have value if you will keep shopping at BJ’s. BJ’s business sign-up footnotes also exclude purchases such as shipping, sales tax, alcohol, tobacco, lottery, gift cards and membership fees, so the real earn rate on your cart may be lower than 2%.
The gas, delivery and pickup break-even
The extra 5 cents a gallon is easy to price. The $60 upgrade equals 1,200 gallons, so gas alone would need 1,200 gallons a year to break even. A driver filling 15 gallons a week buys 780 gallons a year, which is $39 of Club+ gas savings at 5 cents a gallon.
Delivery and pickup add a smaller layer. Two free deliveries are worth $19.98 if you would otherwise pay the starting $9.99 fee each time, and free curbside saves $3.99 on each small order that would have carried a fee. These perks only count if you really use them.
Putting it together: a worked example
Take a household that spends $250 a month at BJ’s, buys 780 gallons of BJ’s Gas a year, and uses both free deliveries. Rewards are $60, gas is $39 and delivery is $19.98, for $118.98 in Club+ value against a $60 upgrade. That is a $58.98 advantage. If the same household never used delivery, the advantage drops to $39, and if it also spent only $100 a month, rewards fall to $24 and the total is $63, only $3 ahead. These are illustrations with my own assumptions, not BJ’s numbers.
BJ’s Business Membership Cost
BJ’s has a dedicated business sign-up page. It shows a Business Club card at $60 and an upgrade to Business Club+ for an additional $60 a year, which makes the total $120 if you upgrade. Business Club+ earns the same 2% back on most BJ’s purchases, with the same $500 cap in any 12-month period, a $10 minimum rewards balance to redeem and a $10 minimum purchase.
There is a wrinkle worth knowing. The main BJ’s membership page has an FAQ answering whether resellers need a business membership, and it says no: a standard membership works for personal use or resale. So the business sign-up is a convenience for business details, not a requirement.
The business page also links to a Corporate Membership Program, but the page that link opens did not show eligibility, pricing or perks, so this guide does not describe it. If your company is large, check that page or BJ’s B2B sales link directly.
Tax-exempt and reseller options
The business form includes “I am tax exempt” and “I am a reseller” checkboxes. The page states those privileges will not be active at sign-up because of state regulations, and you need to bring your documents to a local club to activate them. The page does not list which documents are required, so ask the club before you drive over.
Extra Household and Supplemental Cards
Every consumer membership includes one additional household member at no extra cost, and that person gets their own card. If you want more people on the account, the checkout section says you can add up to 3 more memberships at $35 each, plus applicable taxes.
The business form is messier. It shows a heading for a complimentary supplemental membership, then a line for 8 supplemental memberships at $35 each, and its FAQ says supplemental members cost $35 per person. The page does not make clear whether one is free, so confirm in checkout before you assume a number.
BJ’s Membership Deals, Discounts and Free Trials
As of November 2026, the BJ’s membership pages list no free trial. The comparison page does link a 1-day pass, with no price or terms shown, and its special offers say only “New members only. Terms apply.” The business sign-up page has a “Have a promo code?” prompt, but no code is listed on an official page, so none appear here. If a code works for you, it will show in your cart.
What BJ’s does show is discounted memberships for selected groups. The comparison page lists veterans and active-duty military, teachers and educators, medical professionals, government assistance (EBT) recipients, first responders, government employees and college students, marked for new members only with terms applying. The main membership page words its list differently, so confirm your group in the join flow. On the military and college student offer pages I checked, Club is $25 instead of $60 with a $10 reward, and Club+ is $50 instead of $120 with a $20 reward. Both are for new members only and require ID.me verification, and the listed expiry is 1/30/27, which is my reading of the page footnote. My BJ’s membership deals guide covers all seven groups. I did not confirm the price or verification step for every other group myself, so check the join flow before counting on it.
BJ’s Renewal, Cancellation and Refunds
BJ’s uses an Easy Renewal program that charges the then-current fee to your payment method on record starting the first day of the month your membership expires. You can manage renewal in your account, at a member services desk, or by phone, according to the page, and you can cancel before the start date to avoid the charge.
On refunds, the page says primary members can cancel at any time and request a refund for the current membership period, which matches the 100% money-back guarantee listed in the comparison table. It adds a limit: BJ’s says it cannot refund second or subsequent cancellations. Read the exact wording on the page, because refund rules decide whether the guarantee is a safety net or a one-time courtesy. The main membership page adds that memberships auto-renew each year and that you can turn auto-renew off in your account settings.
BJ’s Co-Brand Credit Card Rewards
BJ’s also promotes a BJ’s One Mastercard and a BJ’s One+ card. The membership page’s footnotes state 3% back for the BJ’s One card and 5% back for the BJ’s One+ card on eligible net purchases made on the card in the club, on BJs.com or in the app. The footnotes list many exclusions, including BJ’s Gas, membership fees, gift cards, alcohol and tax, and say rewards do not expire for the life of the account. The page’s promotional banner says “up to 5%” for the BJ’s One Mastercard while the footnote gives 3% for that card, so read the footnotes.
The annual fee and the issuer are not shown on the membership page, and approval is subject to credit approval. Credit products are personal decisions that depend on your finances, so this is not financial advice, terms change, and you should check the provider’s own terms. If you are weighing cards for the business side, a separate guide on business credit cards is linked at the end of this article.
How BJ’s Compares to Costco and Sam’s Club
The three warehouse clubs price their tiers within $5 to $10 of each other. The Costco figures below match Costco’s Executive rewards page. The Sam’s Club fees match the Sam’s Club join page.
| Club | Base fee | Upgraded fee | Rewards on the upgraded tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| BJ’s | $60 (Club) | $120 (Club+) | 2% back, up to $500 per membership year |
| Costco | $65 (Gold Star, Business) | $130 (Executive) | 2% annual reward, capped at $1,250 per 12-month period |
| Sam’s Club | $60 (Club) | $120 (Plus) | Up to 2% Sam’s Cash, $750 maximum per year |
On sticker price, BJ’s and Sam’s Club match, and Costco is $5 and $10 higher. The $750 Sam’s Cash maximum is stated in Walmart’s October 20, 2026 release. The real gaps are the reward caps and how far you live from a club, because a membership you cannot use conveniently is wasted money. My Costco membership cost guide covers each Costco tier in detail.
The same goes for the other club, which I break down in my Sam’s Club membership cost guide.
If you are deciding between those two, my Costco vs Sam’s Club comparison works through the trade-offs. If you are also weighing Prime and Walmart+, my best shopping memberships roundup puts the bigger picture in one place.
BJ’s Membership for Ecommerce and Small Business Owners
If you run a store, a warehouse membership is a small operating cost, not a growth strategy. A $60 or $120 fee is easy to absorb, but the savings only appear if you buy things you would buy anyway. That might mean packing and shipping supplies, office basics or breakroom items for a small team. This guide does not cover which products a given club stocks, so check the app or the club before you plan around any item.
Where it can fit in a store budget
For a store shipping from your own space, the business card plus a reseller option can matter if you resell goods. The IRS covers how business expenses and cost of goods sold are treated in Publication 334, the small business tax guide for Schedule C filers. A membership fee and supplies are expenses you should record cleanly, and I suggest asking your accountant how to categorize them rather than guessing.
The SBA also has a useful overview of managing business finances if you are building your books from scratch. Keeping the membership on a business card or account is easier to track than mixing it with household shopping. If you have not set up the entity yet, my business formation guide for high-ticket dropshipping walks through it.
Where it does not fit
Be careful with the Same-Day Select pass. The main membership page describes it as a $100 annual pass compared with the standard $9.99 delivery fee, with a $50 order minimum, and its footnote says it is for the purchasing member’s personal, individual, non-commercial use only. So it is not something to plan business purchasing around.
A warehouse club is also retail, not a supplier relationship. If you sell products, your margins come from sourcing at supplier pricing, not from a member discount. That is why I tell new sellers to start with my supplier-finding guide before spending on warehouse memberships for inventory.
It also helps to have a clear picture of what high-ticket dropshipping is and how it differs from buying stock. I keep a list of high-ticket niches so you can pick products with room for margin.
Is a BJ’s Membership Worth It?
Here is a practical way to think about it, with the caveat that it depends on your own spending. If there is a BJ’s near you and you spend under about $250 a month there, Club at $60 is the logical pick, and Club+ is not. If you spend $500 a month or more, drive a lot, or order delivery, Club+ at $120 can pay for itself, using the arithmetic above.
If you only walk in for a handful of items a year, a membership of any kind may cost more than it saves. And if you have a Costco or Sam’s Club closer to home, compare the three before you commit. A cheaper club you will not visit is more expensive than a pricier one you use weekly.
One practical safeguard: BJ’s offers a money-back guarantee on the current membership period for primary members, with the limit on repeat cancellations I noted above. That makes a first-year trial lower risk than most subscriptions, as long as you read the terms before you pay.
BJ’s Membership Cost FAQ
How much is a BJ’s membership?
As of November 2026, BJ’s Club is $60 a year and BJ’s Club+ is $120 a year, per BJ’s compare memberships page, before sales tax. The business sign-up shows a $60 Business Club card with a Club+ upgrade for an additional $60 a year.
Is BJ’s Club+ worth it?
It depends on spending. The 2% rewards rate means about $3,000 a year of eligible spending covers the $60 upgrade, and the extra 5 cents a gallon on gas and the free deliveries add to that if you use them. Rewards are capped at $500 per membership year.
Does BJ’s have a free trial or a membership deal?
BJ’s membership pages list no free trial, though the comparison page links a 1-day pass with no price or terms shown. BJ’s lists discounted memberships for select groups, such as military, educators and students. The military and student offer pages show Club for $25 (regular $60) and Club+ for $50 (regular $120) for new members after ID.me verification, with a listed expiry of 1/30/27, which is my reading of the page footnote. The details are in my BJ’s membership deals guide. The business page has a promo code prompt with no code listed.
Can I cancel BJ’s and get a refund?
BJ’s compare memberships page says primary members can cancel at any time and request a refund for the current membership period, and it lists a 100% money-back guarantee. The page also says BJ’s is unable to refund members for second or subsequent cancellations, so read the full terms first.
Do I need a BJ’s business membership to buy for my store?
BJ’s FAQ says a separate business membership is not required and that a standard membership can be used for personal use or resale. The business sign-up offers reseller and tax-exempt options, but the privileges are not active until you bring your documents to a local club.
Final Word
BJ’s membership cost comes down to two numbers: $60 for Club and $120 for Club+, with the same structure on the business form. Before you pay, run your own monthly spending through the break-even table, check the gas and delivery perks you would really use, and confirm the current price on the BJ’s join page, because terms change. For a store owner, treat it as a small supply-and-savings line, not a sourcing strategy.
