How to Find Your Sam's Club Receipt

Short answer: Sam's Club ties purchases to your membership, so most receipts are retrievable. Sign in to SamsClub.com or the Sam's Club app and open Order History for online orders and Purchase History for in-club purchases; Scan & Go receipts are saved in the app. If a purchase is missing, the club's member services can look it up by your membership.

Because every Sam's Club trip is linked to your membership number, Sam's Club keeps digital records of most purchases, which helps with returns, warranties, and deducting business supplies. Online orders, in-club purchases, and Scan & Go all live in your account. Here is how to find each.

Every way to find your Sam's Club receipt

1. Online orders (SamsClub.com or the app)

  1. Sign in to SamsClub.com or the Sam's Club app.
  2. Open Order History.
  3. Select the order to view, print, or save the receipt.

  1. Open the Sam's Club app and sign in with your membership.
  2. Open Purchase History for in-club purchases tied to your membership.
  3. Scan & Go purchases are saved as digital receipts in the app automatically.

3. Member services lookup

  1. If a purchase is missing, visit the club's member services desk or contact Sam's Club.
  2. They can look up the transaction by your membership number and reprint the receipt.

Membership makes receipts retrievable

Every purchase rung up on your membership is recorded, which is why signing in shows a history of in-club trips, not just online orders. Scan & Go, where you check out in the app, stores a digital receipt every time.

This is also why returns are easy: the club can look up the purchase by membership.

Returns and warranties

Within the return window, Sam's Club can locate a purchase by your membership, so you rarely need the paper slip. For warranties on electronics or appliances, keep the itemized receipt showing item, date, and price.

Keeping Sam's Club receipts for taxes

If you buy supplies, equipment, or inventory for a business, those are deductible, and the IRS expects the itemized receipt rather than just a card charge. The digital receipt shows each item and tax.

Because a Sam's Club run mixes personal and business items, pull the receipt and separate the business lines when you buy, so your deductible spending is captured and categorized.

Good to know

  • Use Scan & Go in the app, it saves a digital receipt for every in-club trip automatically.
  • Everything ties to your membership number, signing in surfaces your in-club purchase history.
  • Buying inventory or supplies for a business? Keep the itemized receipt and separate the business items.
