American Express Co. customers soon will be able to charge purchases at Sam’s Club, months before their cards stop working at larger warehouse retailer Costco Wholesale Corp.
Sam’s Club, a division of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., will start accepting AmEx cards on Oct. 1 at its more than 650 locations across the U.S and Puerto Rico, according to a statement Thursday from the lender. The stores currently only take cards processed by MasterCard Inc. and Discover Financial Services, though Sam’s Club’s website also accepts those from AmEx and Visa Inc.
