How to Use the Sam's Club Scan & Go App

The Sam’s Club Scan & Go App makes waiting in line obsolete. Learn how to use this time saver and never wait in line again!

I think we can all agree that waiting in line is one of our least favorite things. Especially this time of year when I’m racing around trying to get all my shopping done and the lines are endless. You wait what seems like f o r e v e r and your quick shopping trip turns into an hours long affair.

Well, thanks to the Sam’s Club Scan & Go app, I’m done waiting in line. Simply download the app and use it when you shop to make your holiday shopping completely painless. Once you are inside your local Sam’s Club store, shop like usual but as you place items in your cart, use the app to scan the UPC code. It’s really easy to add and delete items and best of all it allows you to track what you are spending.

How to Use Scan & Go

Download the Scan & Go app for iOS or Andriod
Open the Scan & Go app once in-store
Scan the UPC code as you place an item in your cart. (No barcode? Quickly look up the item with “Find an Item.”)
Follow the app directions to checkout
Show the barcode to the associate at checkout. Done!

Checkout time thanks to the Scan & Go app was an absolute breeze! I took my basket full of gifts straight to the exit and bypassed the checkout line. On this particular Saturday morning, Sam’s was pretty busy. They had almost every check out lane open and every one was stacked 4-5 people deep. I just walked right past them! My son was incredulous. “Mom! Don’t we have to pay for this stuff!?”

The associate at the exit scanned the bar code on my phone since I had no receipt. He doubled checked the items in my cart and I was on my way. The smoothest, fastest checkout experience I’ve ever had. The Scan & Go app makes it possible to run in and run out when you only need a handful of things.

Obviously the Scan & Go App is perfect for all those last minute holiday gift on your list. However, the Scan & Go app is perfect for regular day-to-day use. Forgot you’re snack mom for that soccer game? Grab Gatorade and Goldfish and be back in your car in minutes! Need a last-minute dinner idea? Run into Sam’s and grab one of their Scan & Go and be back on the road home in a jiffy. Really, the possibilities for Scan & Go are endless!
