General Information

How do I find a BJ’s near me?
Go to the Club Locations listing. Enter your ZIP code to find the 3 closest Clubs within a 25-mile radius. Or, find your state and then choose the city or town nearest to you to view the address, phone number, hours and location map of the closest BJ’s. You will also be able to see the features of a particular Club.

You may also call 800-BJS-CLUB (800-257-2582) at any time and say or press "1" to use BJ’s automated Club locator service.

What time does BJ’s open?
Hours for Clubs and services vary, so be sure to check the Club’s information page for details. You may also call 800-BJS-CLUB (800-257-2582) at any time and say or press "1" to use BJ’s automated Club locator service.

What kind of selection will I find?
At BJ’s, you’ll find thousands of the best-selling, top-quality brands —like Sony®, Tide®, Pampers® and other products you know, trust and use. BJ’s also carries its own Club brand, Berkley and Jensen®, which has proven to be a Member favorite. Berkley and Jensen offers quality equal or superior to that of national brands — but at a much lower price.

Take advantage of Member-only discounts from Verizon Wireless, Liberty Mutual® Insurance, BJ’s Travel™, BJ’s Optical® and others and save on cell phones and accessories, auto and home insurance, vacations and travel, eyewear and much more.

Savings Opportunities

How can I save with BJ’s Everyday Low Prices?
Independent research shows that BJ’s Everyday Low Prices can save you more than 30%* off supermarket prices. And, BJ’s delivers low prices every day, not just during sales.

These savings are only available to BJ’s Members and to the Household and Supplemental Members on their accounts.

*30% savings is compared to supermarket prices and is based on the per unit price of a market basket of items. Savings may vary based upon market area and items purchased. Research conducted by Warehouse Club Focus, October 2011.

Can I use coupons?
Absolutely! BJ’s accepts all manufacturers’ coupons — including the ones that come in your Sunday newspaper — giving you additional savings on top of our everyday low prices. Plus, we offer BJ’s Members-only coupons throughout the year. After all, saving you money is what BJ’s is all about.

You can get your exclusive BJ’s coupons:

  • Online. Members, you can access and print in-Club coupons once you register with an online account on BJs.com. Register by clicking on “Sign In/Register” at the top of any BJs.com page.
  • In BJ’s Journal, a BJ’s Member magazine
  • Through special-offer mailings
  • In BJ’s in-Club coupon flyers
  • Via email. If you are registered on BJs.com, you can sign in to your online account and select “Email Options” to subscribe to BJ’s emails and receive weekly updates on BJs.com Instant Coupons.

What are the guidelines for using more than one coupon?

When purchasing a multi-pack of “individual for sale” packaged items, which is a set of items that could be sold individually (each item has a barcode) shrink-wrapped and sold together, Members can combine one BJ's-issued coupon with manufacturers' coupons. However, you cannot exceed the actual retail price in the total value of coupons.

Examples of a multi-pack:

  • Three-pack of toothpaste
  • Two-pack of salad dressing
  • Three-pack of taco kits

Examples of products that are NOT multi-packs:

  • Box of cereal containing two bags (the bags cannot be sold individually)
  • Case of water
  • Case of soda
  • Case of motor oil

Members may also use one BJ's coupon and one manufacturer's coupon on a single item.

In terms of manufacturers' coupons that are “buy one, get one free,” we will honor the coupon for items in stock as long as our price does not exceed the maximum value stated on the coupon. If the manufacturer's coupon does not state the maximum value, we cannot honor the coupon.

We cannot accept multiple BJ's-issued coupons on a product.

Does BJ’s take all major credit cards?
Yes. BJ’s offers the most payment options of any membership warehouse club. In addition to cash, checks, debit cards and EBT, you can charge your purchases on your Visa®, BJ’s Visa® Card, MasterCard®, American Express®, or Discover® Network credit card.

Note: Business Members may also use business checks for purchases with proper identification.

Do BJ’s Clubs participate in state sales tax holidays?
Yes. If you make a qualified purchase during a state sales tax holiday from a Club within that state, you will not be charged state sales tax. However, local sales taxes may still be charged, depending on the terms of your state’s legislation.

Are online orders eligible for tax-free status during state sales tax holidays?
Yes. Qualified online purchases made during the specified tax-free time period are eligible if the online purchases are shipped to an address within the state offering the sales tax holiday. Sales tax on online orders is determined by the ship-to state.

The BJ’s Visa® Business Card cannot be used as your BJ’s Membership Card.

How do I get my BJ’s Membership Number imprinted on my BJ’s Visa® Card?
To have your Membership Number imprinted on your BJ’s Visa® Card, simply provide it in the designated area of your BJ’s Visa® Card Application Form.

At this time, this benefit is limited to Primary Members, First Supplemental Members on business accounts and paid Supplemental Members. Household Members do not have unique Membership Numbers and therefore cannot use a BJ’s Visa® Card as a BJ’s Membership Card.

How do I sign up for BJ’s Membership Auto Renew?
