All BJ’s memberships are subject to the terms and conditions described below (“Membership Terms”). Membership Terms are always available at BJs.com/terms or at the Membership Services Desk of any of our clubs. For purposes of these Membership Terms, “member” will mean an individual or business enrolled in any of the membership types listed herein.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE MEMBERSHIP TERMS CAREFULLY FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE BJ’S MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM. BY PARTICIPATING IN BJ’S MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM, YOU ARE AGREEING TO THESE MEMBERSHIP TERMS. MEMBERSHIPS ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO BJ’S TERMS OF USE (BJS.COM/TERMSOFUSE) AND BJ’S PRIVACY POLICY (BJS.COM/PRIVACYPOLICY). THESE MEMBERSHIP TERMS CONTAIN PROVISIONS THAT (I) LIMIT OUR LIABILITY TO YOU, (II) ELIMINATE YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, (III) REQUIRE YOU TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PART OF ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AND THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, AND (IV) PROVIDE FOR AUTOMATIC ANNUAL RENEWAL OF YOUR BJ’S MEMBERSHIP THROUGH BJ’S EASY RENEWAL® PROGRAM. PLEASE REVIEW THESE MEMBERSHIP TERMS CAREFULLY.
Membership. Membership is available to those 18 years of age or older and is nontransferable. BJ's reserves the right to require valid government-issued identification for membership enrollments and changes. The primary member (or an owner or officer of a business membership) has sole authority to make changes to the membership, including any associated supplemental memberships, and to request and receive appropriate information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a household member may upgrade or renew the membership, apply for a credit card through the BJ’s One™ Mastercard® program, and enroll the membership in BJ’s Easy Renewal® program. The privileges of membership are only available to members. Membership cards are not issued for BJ’s Online Access℠ members. All membership cards remain the property of BJ's. BJ’s reserves the right to deny membership to any applicant and to terminate any membership at its discretion and for any reason. BJ’s cashiers will check membership cards at point-of-sale in our clubs for member validation.
Shopping Privileges. A BJ’s membership is required to shop on BJs.com, on the BJ’s mobile app, and in our clubs. A BJ’s Online Access membership does not provide in-club shopping privileges. BJ’s reserves the right to require that membership cards be shown upon entry into any club. No sales will be made to any person in-club unless such person has a valid membership card or BJ’s authorized pass. Each member with in-club shopping privileges may bring two guests; however, guests do not have purchasing privileges. Members may be required to purchase any items they or their guests open or damage. Parents must keep their children with them at all times. BJ’s may refuse entry to anyone at any time and reserves the right to inspect any bag, backpack, briefcase, or container upon entry or exit. BJ’s may inspect receipts and carts as members exit the club. BJ’s does not offer rain checks for out-of-stock items and reserves the right to limit quantities. BJ’s strictly prohibits solicitation or other disruptive conduct on its premises and may require anyone engaged in such conduct to leave the club premises. Shipping promotions are not available for drop ship resellers, and BJ’s reserves the right to exclude business memberships from shipping and other promotions.
Check Writing. BJ’s may decline to accept member checks at its sole discretion. In the event a check remitted to BJ’s bounces, as determined by the bank, it is automatically sent to TRS Recovery Services. All bounced checks are subject to a service fee as determined by state law, as well as any additional collection fees incurred by BJ’s in order to recoup payment, as necessary. Payment should be made directly to TRS Recovery Services. Questions regarding any bounced checks may be directed to TRS Recovery Services at 1-800-366-1049.
Membership Expiration and Renewals. The month and year in which your membership expires appears on your register receipts and on your “My Account” page at BJs.com. Your membership expires on the last day of the month and year shown. Memberships renewed within two months after expiration will be extended 12 months from the expiration date. Memberships renewed more than two months after expiration will be extended for 12 months from the last day of the month of renewal. If you do not renew your BJ’s membership, you will not be able to shop on BJs.com or through the BJ’s mobile app, and a non-member surcharge equal to 20% of your total purchase will apply to all of your post-expiration BJ’s purchases in-club. Expired members that do shop and pay a surcharge (i) are subject to these Membership Terms and (ii) may come back to the Membership Services Desk at any club location to apply the surcharge paid toward their membership renewal fee within seven (7) days of such surcharge, up to the renewal fee.
BJ’S MAY CHANGE THESE MEMBERSHIP TERMS AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU. YOU AGREE TO PERIODICALLY REVIEW BJ’S MEMBERSHIP TERMS FOR ANY SUCH UPDATES. IF ANY CHANGE IS FOUND VOID OR UNENFORCEABLE, THAT CHANGE IS SEVERABLE AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF THE REMAINING TERMS. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP (OR IN THE CASE OF AN EXPIRED MEMBERSHIP, SHOPPING AT BJ’S CLUBS) CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO SUCH CHANGES, YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP (OR IN THE CASE OF AN EXPIRED MEMBERSHIP, CEASE SHOPPING AT BJ’S).
BJ's Membership Types
Promotional Membership.
BJ’s offers no-cost or low-cost, limited-length (e.g., 60-Day) memberships
from time to time. Promotional memberships are by invitation only. Offer
must be presented at the time of enrollment. Promotional membership only
provides one primary membership card. Household and supplemental
memberships may not be added to a promotional membership. BJ’s may limit
the frequency with which an individual is eligible to enroll in a
promotional membership.
BJ's Online Access Membership.
BJ’s discontinued its Online Access membership. For existing Online Access
memberships enrolled in BJ’s Easy Renewal, as of your renewal date, your
Online Access membership will be renewed at the then-current applicable
membership fee. Online Access memberships not enrolled in BJ’s Easy
Renewal will terminate on the expiration date. Effective until the last
Online Access membership has expired, the following additional terms will
apply: (i) an Online Access membership provides one primary membership
card for online shopping at BJs.com and on the BJ’s mobile app; (ii) BJ’s
Online Access members do not have access to same-day delivery services;
(iii) BJ’s Online Access members may not have access to the full range of
BJ’s member services (including but not limited to cellular phone
services, BJ's Optical Department, and certain features of BJ’s
Travel®) or to the same item selection, pricing,
availability or promotions available in our clubs; (iv) BJ’s Online Access
membership is not eligible for BJ’s membership Money-Back Guarantee; and
(v) you may not renew your Online Access membership outside of BJ’s Easy
Renewal.
The Club Card (Personal) Membership.
The Club Card Membership provides one primary membership card and a
household card, included at no additional charge, that may be issued to a
member of the primary member’s household. Up to three (3) additional
supplemental memberships may be purchased. The Club Card members
(including household cardholders but not other supplemental members) in
good standing may upgrade their membership to a The Club+ Card Membership.
Any promotional rewards earned under The Club Card Membership may be used
or redeemed by either the primary or household cardholder if the members
opt into rewards sharing. The Club Card members may not purchase
merchandise for resale. Note: BJ’s discontinued its BJ’s Inner Circle®
membership program on February 27, 2023, and on such date, all active BJ’s
Inner Circle memberships, including all associated household and
supplemental memberships, were automatically converted to The Club Card
Memberships (with primary, household, and supplemental statuses
preserved).
The Business Club Card Membership.
The Business Club Card Membership provides one primary business card and
one Business supplemental card, included at no additional charge, that may
only be issued to a Business associate. A “Business” is defined as one
business address. The Business Club Card primary member may purchase up to
eight (8) additional paid supplemental cards, that may only be issued to
Business associates. The Business Club Card members in good standing may
upgrade their membership to a The Business Club+ Card Membership. Unlike
The Club Card Memberships, The Business Club Card Memberships include
resale privileges. If The Business Club Card member (i) intends to
purchase merchandise for resale and claim an exemption from sales tax or
(ii) is purchasing merchandise on behalf of an exempt organization, then
BJ’s must have a valid, signed state Resale Organization Certificate or
valid, signed state Exempt Organization Certificate, respectively, on file
at the club of membership. The member must accurately complete the
Supplemental Certificate of Resale or Exempt Organization Certificate
provided by the cashier at the time of purchase. The primary member will
immediately notify BJ’s if the Resale Organization Certificate on file is
invalid or if the description of products to be resold has been changed.
BJ’s may require confirmation of exemption or a Resale Organization
Certificate at its discretion. In the states of CT, ME and RI, all
purchases by tax-exempt organizations must be paid by organizational check
or credit card. In the states of FL and NY, all purchases by tax-exempt
organizations must be paid by an organizational check, credit card or
cash. BJ’s does not sell alcoholic beverages for resale except in the
state of ME. The primary member agrees that in the event the primary
member or any supplemental cardholders fail to pay sales tax, all will
hold harmless and indemnify BJ’s and its affiliates from and against any
claim, loss or expense arising out of such nonpayment. Shipping promotions
are not available for drop ship resellers, and BJ’s reserves the right to
exclude The Business Club Card Memberships from shipping and other
promotions. Note: BJ’s discontinued its BJ’s Business membership program
on February 27, 2023, and on such date, all active BJ’s Business
memberships, including all associated supplemental memberships, were
automatically converted to The Business Club Card Memberships (with
primary and supplemental statuses preserved).
Military Membership.
Active and veteran US Military personnel may enroll in-club at a reduced
membership fee. Active military ID, “Veteran” designation on state-issued
ID, or other proof of service is required. Military membership has the
same rights and privileges as The Club Card Membership.
The Club+ Card.
The Club+ Card Membership offers all the rights and privileges of The Club
Card Membership, plus the ability to earn 2% back in rewards on eligible
purchases and receive an instant discount of 5¢ off each gallon of fuel
purchased at BJ’s Gas® when The Club+ Card Membership card
is scanned for these purchases, unless the primary member or the member
making the purchase is associated with a credit card in the BJ’s One™
Mastercard®
program, in which case the member will only earn rewards and receive an
instant discount at BJ’s Gas in accordance with the BJ’s One Mastercard
Program Rewards Terms (see
BJs.com/bjsoneterms). Supplemental members do
not earn and may not redeem rewards. Members may only enroll in one The
Club+ Card Membership. Rewards earned may not exceed $500 in any 12-month
period. The Club+ Card members may not purchase merchandise for resale.
Please see “Eligible Purchase and Rewards Terms” below for additional
terms applicable to The Club+ Card Memberships.
The Business Club+ Card.
The Business Club+ Card Membership offers all the rights and privileges of
The Business Club Card Membership, plus the ability to earn 2% back in
rewards on eligible purchases and receive an instant discount of 5¢ off
each gallon of fuel purchased at BJ’s Gas when The Business Club+ Card
Membership card is scanned for these purchases, unless the primary member
or the member making the purchase is associated with a credit card in the
BJ’s One Mastercard program, in which case the member will only earn
rewards and receive an instant discount at BJ’s Gas in accordance with the
BJ’s One Mastercard Program Rewards Terms (see
BJs.com/bjsoneterms).
Supplemental members do not earn and may not redeem rewards. Members may
only enroll in one The Business Club+ Card Membership. Rewards earned may
not exceed $500 in any 12-month period. The Business Club+ Card
Memberships include resale privileges. Shipping promotions are not
available for drop ship resellers, and BJ’s reserves the right to exclude
The Business Club+ Card Memberships from shipping and other promotions.
Please see “Eligible Purchase and Rewards Terms” below for additional
terms applicable to The Business Club+ Card Memberships.
Eligible Purchase and Rewards Terms (The Club+ Card and The Business
Club+ Card)
For The Club+ Card and The Business Club+ Card Memberships, “eligible
purchases” are purchases of goods and services in-club at BJ’s front-end
registers, on BJs.com, or in the BJ’s mobile app (minus any redeemed
rewards, returns, refunds, or credit adjustments). Eligible purchases
exclude shipping, sales tax, bottle deposits, alcoholic beverages,
cigarettes and tobacco-related products, lottery tickets, gift cards,
propane, BJ’s Gas®, online optical purchases, membership
fees and add-ons, warranties and protection plans, BJ’s services provided
by third parties (e.g., BJ’s Travel®), and BJ’s B2B and
BJ’s Global Sales transactions. For clarity, and without limiting the
foregoing, same-day delivery shipping services, BJ’s Gas purchases, and
purchases completed through PayPal are not eligible purchases and do not
earn rewards. You do not earn rewards for pending eligible purchases.
Rewards earnings from a completed eligible purchase generally take two to
three (2-3) business days to post to your rewards balance.
Your rewards must have a minimum balance of $10 to redeem, and the eligible purchase to which the rewards are applied must be at least $10 at BJ’s checkout and greater than or equal to the reward redemption amount. Rewards are only redeemable for eligible purchases and membership fees at BJ’s checkout in-club, at BJs.com, or on the BJ’s mobile app. Use of rewards will not create a negative cash register or checkout balance at BJ’s. Rewards may be rounded to the nearest hundredth. You may choose to use rewards or save them. If you choose to use rewards, you must use all the rewards that are presented to you. Rewards will be decremented at the time of redemption. If your redemption of rewards results in a rewards balance of less than $10, the remaining rewards will not be available for redemption until such time as your rewards balance again reaches $10, as described above. All rewards redemptions are final, except as outlined in these Membership Terms. We reserve the right to verify and adjust your rewards balance at any time. Rewards cannot be combined from multiple memberships; however, the primary member may elect to share rewards with the associated (i) household member, for The Club+ Card Memberships, and (ii) free supplemental member, for The Business Club+ Card Memberships.
Returns and refunds of your BJ’s purchases are subject to BJ’s return policy. If you make a return on a purchase on which you redeemed rewards, your rewards will be refunded as follows: In-club. If the total cost of your purchase, after the return, still exceeds the value of any redeemed rewards, no rewards will be refunded to you. Otherwise, the purchase price, including the value of any rewards redeemed, will be refunded to either the original form of tender on which the greatest portion of the original purchase was charged or to a BJ’s gift card, at BJ’s discretion. If the return exceeds the amount of the original purchase, any remaining balance will be refunded to a BJ’s gift card, or in cash, at BJ’s discretion. On BJs.com. Rewards are applied pro rata to all items in an eligible purchase made online. A return of any item will result in a corresponding credit of the pro rata rewards amount to your rewards balance.
Only one BJ’s membership may earn rewards in each transaction. Purchases that are returned or refunded or otherwise adjusted will be deducted from your BJ’s membership rewards balance. Such deductions may result in a negative rewards balance, in which case, any future rewards earnings will be applied to reduce that negative balance. Rewards cannot be sold, purchased, brokered, bartered, transferred, or altered in any way by you. Any attempted transaction of such sort will automatically be void. Anyone engaging in such transactions will be liable for damages to us, including, but not limited to consequential damages, third party damages, transaction costs, attorney’s fees, and court costs. Any violation of these provisions will result in termination of your BJ’s membership and forfeiture of unused rewards. You will not be entitled to and will not receive any compensation from us for rewards that are forfeited. To the extent allowed by applicable law, we may cancel any earned and outstanding rewards if we become insolvent, unable to pay our debts when due, file an action under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or have such an action filed against us. If you believe BJ’s failed to properly credit you with rewards, you must make a claim for such missing rewards within ninety (90) days of the date on which the purchase giving rise to such rewards was made. Any missing rewards not claimed within such time period will be forfeited.
The Club+ Card and The Business Club+ Card Memberships may only be downgraded at the time of membership renewal either over the phone by Member Care or at a Membership Services Desk at which time you will no longer accumulate rewards; however, you may continue to use previously earned rewards at BJ’s Member Pricing® in accordance with these Membership Terms. If you cancel your BJ’s membership entirely, all rewards balances will be forfeited. We may, from time to time, make special offers for you to accumulate bonus rewards on specific purchases. Availability of any special offer is subject to change without notice.
If you are a BJ’s One Mastercard program credit card cardholder, other benefits and terms apply to you and can be found at BJs.com/bjsoneterms.
Note: BJ’s discontinued its BJ’s Perks Rewards® membership program on February 27, 2023, and on such date, all active BJ’s Perks Rewards memberships, including all associated household and supplemental memberships, were automatically converted to The Club+ Card Memberships (for personal BJ’s Perks Rewards memberships) and The Business Club+ Card Memberships (for BJ’s Business Perks Rewards memberships), as applicable, and with primary, household, and supplemental statuses preserved.

BJ’s Easy Renewal® Program. Under the BJ’s easy renewal program, an annual recurring charge in the amount of the then-current membership fee for all active memberships on your account, plus tax where applicable, will be automatically charged to the credit or debit card first used at BJ’s by the renewing member at or after enrollment in the BJ’s Easy Renewal program (unless you are a BJ’s One Mastercard program credit card cardholder, in which case the BJ’s One Mastercard program credit card will automatically be charged in accordance with the BJ’s One Mastercard program rewards terms).
