This guide explores the different membership tiers, their associated renewal costs, the methods available for renewing a membership, and additional features to consider.
Understanding Membership Tiers and Renewal Pricing
BJ’s Wholesale Club provides several membership tiers. The standard offering is the Inner Circle membership, which currently costs $55 annually. This fee is scheduled to increase to $60 per year starting January 1, 2025. This tier provides general access to all BJ’s clubs and online shopping.
An upgraded option is the Perks Rewards membership. This tier is currently priced at $110 per year, increasing to $120 annually from January 1, 2025. Perks Rewards members receive 2% cash back on most eligible purchases, with rewards capped at $500 per membership year. This tier also offers enhanced fuel savings at BJ’s Gas locations.
Business memberships are also available, mirroring the pricing and benefits of either the Inner Circle or Perks Rewards tiers. These are tailored for business owners who may also receive tax exemption benefits and resale privileges. For the most current information, check the official BJ’s website.
Steps for Renewing Your Membership
Renewing a BJ’s membership can be completed through several channels. Many members choose to renew online by visiting BJs.com and navigating to their “My Membership” page. A “Renew” button will appear on this page if the membership is either expired or within 90 days of its expiration date. Note that if a membership is enrolled in the “Easy Renewal” program, the online renewal option may not be visible.
Members can also renew by visiting any BJ’s Wholesale Club location. Members can renew their membership in person at the member services desk, or directly at any checkout register while completing a purchase. Renewal can also be processed by mailing back the renewal notice along with payment.
Members can also renew their membership over the phone by contacting BJ’s Member Care team. The Member Care number, 1-800-257-2582.
Membership Features and Renewal Considerations
A BJ’s membership includes a primary card for the main account holder and a second card for a household member. All members gain access to exclusive savings through member coupons, along with the ability to use manufacturer coupons for added discounts. Access to BJ’s Gas stations, which feature competitive fuel prices, is a benefit for all membership tiers.
For those needing additional access, supplementary membership cards can be added to an account. These cost $30 per year for each additional card and expire concurrently with the primary membership. Business memberships offer the flexibility to add a greater number of supplementary cards, often up to eight, sometimes at a reduced rate per card.
BJ’s offers an “Easy Renewal” program, which automatically renews memberships annually by charging a payment method on file. This feature is often automatically enabled when a membership is first purchased or renewed with certain promotions. Members can manage or disable this auto-renewal setting through their online account, by contacting member services, or by visiting a club location. Members also have the option to upgrade their membership tier, such as moving from Inner Circle to Perks Rewards, typically through their online account or at the club. Conversely, downgrading a membership tier can usually be arranged when the membership is due for renewal by contacting Member Care or visiting a club.
