Here are 19 Things you Need to Know Before You Get a Membership at BJ’s
BJ’s Photos
This is fairly new and you can even get photo prints by ordering online. They run special promotions of course and I always share the really good ones right here on the blog.
Pick Up and Pay
With all the store closings going on lately, BJ’s and many others have to amp up the convenience factor. You can order your goods online, non-perishables and pick up and pay in store.
Optometry and Hearing Services
That’s right I just picked up my contacts at BJ’s! They frequently run promotions all the time so be sure to take advantage of this when a decent sale is going on. Right before the kiddos go back to school check to see if BJ’s can give you a better deal.
Gasoline Discount
You can get always get a discount price on your gas by being a BJ’s member. Plus they run promotions where you can score an extra $0.25/gallon of gas when you buy 2 select P&G products. The promotions change frequently but there are always ways to save more on your gas. Another one is being a BJs perks rewards member. Which leads me to my next one…
My Perks Rewards Membership
You can save an additional $0.10 off a gallon of gas every time you use your BJs Mastercard. PLUS you get 5% back on purchases. I have a complete breakdown and information of this type of membership that you can read here.
Verizon Wireless and Prepaid
When I wrote my popular 6 Little Known Ways to Save Money that Will Change Your Life post ( because they did change ours) I was still using my straight talk phone but NOW I have switched to Verizon prepaid at BJ’s. They have member only discounts you can’t get anywhere else. Plus the phones are affordable.
Geico Insurance Member Only Discount
If you are looking for a better home and auto insurance try Geico through BJ’s!
Direct TV Perks
That’s right if you still aren’t ready to cut the cable but need a better deal than cable members can get a better rate with Direct TV here. Currently, BJs members get a $200 gift card when they sign up.
Deli and Bakery Party Planning
If you haven’t checked out my review on the BJ’s party planning foods you will want to. I love everything about it. It’s affordable, saves you so much time and delicious. Everyone at our party loved the items. Now you can order right online as well!
Home Improvement
WOW! When I was just thinking how great it would be if BJ’s expanded into home improvement. How many of you realized this one? If DIY isn’t your thing this is a must check out for BJs Members.
Free Tech Advising
I am actually a little technically challenged which is crazy because I run this website. In the beginning of your stress do yourself a favor and just call someone for a quick hand. It’s free!
Auto Buying Program
This is a big feature in our latest member savings booklet. According to their website, you can save $4,110 for a new car and is based on aggregated participating dealers’ price lists as compared to MSRP. You can also get a used car too. Search for a new or used car here.
Order Your Own Checks
You may think that checks are something of the past but this 30 something-year-old just had to go and get her some. Although they are not in high demand they still bring a convenience. Check out the discounts to order checks here.
Card Processing for Business Owners
Own your own business? Need help with the many forms of payment available today? According to their website ” BJ’s makes doing business easier by letting you take many kinds of payments — credit, check, cash, debit, gift cards, EMV® chip cards, mobile pay and more. All reliably and securely processed — with every transaction backed by First Data, the world’s leading payments processor.” Who knew!
Free Tire Services
Let BJ’s maintain your tires. For $15 installation per tire, you will get the following for the life of the tire- rotation, balancing, flat repairs, and inflation check.
Shed Installation
This one surprised you right? Delivery and installation are included in all the pricing you see for these sheds. PLUS there are some nice discounts just for My BJs Perks members.
BJ’s Travel Agent
That’s right let being a member give you a discount on your next vacation or travel plans. From flights to hotels and more, you can find really nice rates all over the country.
Discount Membership
If you plan on shopping for pretty much all your basic grocery, household and personal care items at BJ’s you will want to consider one of the rewards memberships. There is a membership available for $100 a year where you get 2% back on your purchases. If you are looking for a higher percentage back than you will have to check out the My BJs Perks Rewards card here.
You can also get really cheap memberships by watching on Groupon– or through MyBJsWholesale link here– a $40-year membership with two household cards AND a $25 BJ’s Gift card- That’s like paying $15 for a year!
You Can Stack MULTIPLE Manufacturer coupons
What does that mean? Let’s say you want to buy a three pack of Dove Shampoo. Each Bottle of Dove has a barcode on it. Totally three barcodes. BJ’s coupon policy allows ONE manufacturer coupon PER barcode. Then you can use a BJ’s Dove coupon WITH those manufacturer coupons.

This is great. I am always include to mention the military discount and also the affordable organic produce. I have many vegans and vegetarians in my home so this is always great!
I would totally share to my husband about the awesome Gasoline Discount and My Perks Rewards Membership! Extra savings on things we need is a must! The membership ends up being paid for.
Thanks for the great info. Forgot that I could travel and use my BJ’s card for discount. Awesome!
Learned more great info about my Bj’s membership!
I love bjs they have so many perks there is no reason not get a membership.
BJ’s has a lot of great membership perks. You get discounted gas. My favorite would be that they accept manufacture and store coupons.
Great info. Thanks!
All great benefits to be member of BJ’s. I didn’t know about the tech support and photos. Thanks for all you do.
I would share all the money you can save, the variety of items they have and how you can coupon there to save even more money.
Exciting that you can stack the coupons I didn’t know that.
Make sure you take advantage of everything – all the discounts, savings on gas, and combining coupons!
Thanks for all the great info! Thanks to this blog I have saved a lot of money!
Well, even if I don’t win, I just learned how to copy and paste links from both twitter and Pinterest, lol. Took me a few tries so I got blocked for spam on Pinterest, but I did it! ?
Oh dear Lisa! Well I am so glad you got it, Rafflecopter is not living up to it’s expectations.
Thank you for not stopping your blog posts! We really enjoy them.
Aww thanks Dean.
So glad I read this because I did not know you could get pics printed at bjs!
The gas discount alone is worth the membership! We also love grilling and smoking meat. Bj’s has by far the cheapest propane!
I have been a BJ’s member for many years and also shop at the local supermarket. The prices per unit at BJs along with the manufacture coupons, front of store coupons, booklet coupons and on-line printable coupons really does make a difference when you have a family of 4 or more. In the past year BJs added fresh deli meats and cheese, this is far cheaper than the supermarket especially when they run coupons for $1 off meat or cheese in the booklet. You just need to plan your trips and following the My BJs Blog helps you know when these coupons will be available.
I would share my receipts. Mine always pays for itself quickly! Although I did not know all the coupon policy this well thank you for explaining that!
Look for special pricing when you first sign up.
I would tell them that I save, on average, about 30% on food when I shop BJ’s sales and use coupons!
Their cakes are amazing and we always buy from there for special occasions!
If you get home and find a coupon you could have used on your BJs shopping trip, you have 10 days to take your receipt and coupon to customer service and they will give you cash back. Customer Service is who told me about this great perk! They said even if it’s your latest coupon book in the mail bring those coupons in!
I would immediately share your site & info on retrieving manufacturer coupons to use along with BJs coupons!
I love what BJ’s has to offer , I love all the discounts and love that you can also use coupons there when shopping.
@tisonlyme143
Dorothy, I am so sorry it was giving you a hard time. Thank you so much for pinning it that way. I appreciate it.
I always tell people about stacking coupons and the great selection of natural/organic products.
No idea the price of certain sheds includes delivery AND they set it up for you!! Game changer! Thank you so much!!
The stacking of coupons is a nice perk and they have good customer service at the store and on the phone.
This is great information! I just bought a house and got a BJ’s membership to go along with it–I’m checking out the Direct TV link now!
I would definitely share the advantage of being able to coupon with store and multiple manufacturer coupons
love BJs and your site has helped me so much.
I can’t wait to utilize all this info! I’m a total coupon novice
I would tell them about all the benefits of becoming a BJ’s member and then tell them that they’d be foolish not to join!
Show them the FB group and how the deals are posted. Plus they take MQ’s and can stack with BJ’s q’s!
I would share the information on the rewards membership and their credit card. I earn enough rewards to pay for my membership and more.
Thanks for this article. I did not realize I could order checks through BJ’s, we will be needing some soon so I will check out what they offer. I have checked out the optometry, but they still do not work with my insurance. So fingers crossed, they will get them soon! Thanks for all this information.
I would definitely share to check out your blog and Facebook page! I have learned so much and saved money..thank you for the time you put in!!
That I have tried every club out there and Bj’s is the best for food allergies, including gluten and dairy. They also carry a ton of organic fruits and veggies at prices that are actually afordable. Great for vegans too!
BJs offers a military discount on yearly membership. If you qualify, be sure to ask for it.
I would share my receipt showing how much I paid in june and how much I saved come the end of May. It pays for itself and i get free food and cheaper gas.
Stacking manufactures coupons with BJ’s coupons from the web site, booklet and front of store book gives the best deals on most items. Be careful of the toilet paper and paper towels though, these are not always the best buys. You really need to understand the different plys, ozs, lbs, etc. on each item before you shop.
I didn’t realize I could print photos at BJ’s. Some of the other stuff I knew and just recently discovered. Thanks for posting this on the blog.
Thank you for this helpful info!
