Sam’s Club Membership
Sam’s Club now requires that each employee who is the designated buyer for their campus/location must go to the membership desk at Sam’s Club and provide them with three documents: a copy of the Letter from the Comptroller’s Office, a completed Texas Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certification, and a Canceled Check. Sam’s Club will enter pertinent information into their computer system and a membership card will be issued. This card will be updated yearly. You will then be able to use this card to buy supplies for your school.
Sam’s Club now offers a campus card, with this card you do not need to designate the members. This is extremely helpful when a campus has staff turnover. The district is not paying $45.00 for a member that is no longer employed at PISD.
With each Sam's membership that is purchased the primary card holder is entitled to add 1 member free of charge and up to eight other members for a cost of $45.00 each. The free membership should be utilized by another individual on the campus that will need a Sam's card.
Since this is a business account, spouses, retirees, and other non-employees are not allowed to have the free membership or be added to the school membership.
A Sam’s Plus membership cannot be purchased using federal funds or local funds due to the fact that users can redeem the rebate for cash.
Wal-Mart Club Membership
Wal-Mart is re-designing their “Tax-Free” customer programs. Each employee wishing to purchase from Wal-Mart tax-free must register with their validation program. Each person must take tax-free documentation (Pasadena ISD tax-exempt form is acceptable) to the customer service desk along with Pasadena ISD identification and fill out the required form. Once approved, you will receive a new tax-exempt customer card matched to your name. Only customers with the new exempt customer card number will be tax-exempt.
Since this is a business account, spouses, retirees, and other non-employees are not allowed to use the school membership.
