Membership
Membership is required to purchase at Más Club (except at the cafe, for prescription drugs where federal law prohibits sales to members only, as well as liquor as required by Texas state law); however, a one-time day pass may be obtained from many Wal-Mart newspaper ads. A 10% surcharge is added to the prices for non-members, except for optical, pharmacy, cafe, or alcohol items where available. All memberships are 100% refundable at any time for any reason, even on the date that it is to be renewed.
Renewal of memberships can be done through the mail, in-club at the Membership Services desk, and at any cash register.
Más Club memberships are divided into two categories: Business and Advantage. Both cost $30 per year.
