Sam’s Club secret code leaked by insider—it predicts discontinued items!

Sam’s Club shoppers, ever had your favorite item disappear without warning? The secret behind these vanishing products is finally out.

Want to know how to spot the next one before it’s gone?


The ebb and flow of products at warehouse clubs like Sam's can be mystifying, but thanks to a savvy employee, we've got the inside scoop on how to predict the future of your beloved items.

It turns out that the key to this retail mystery is as simple as one letter.

This insider tip emerged from a concerned shopper's query about the sudden disappearance of their cherished Premier Protein Pancakes.

An eagle-eyed Sam's Club employee has revealed that a tiny “C” next to the item number on a product's tag is the tell-tale sign of its impending discontinuation.

That's right, “C” stands for “cancelled,” and it's your cue that the product may soon be a memory.

The response from the Sam's Club employee not only solved the puzzle for the pancakes but also gave all members a valuable tool for future shopping trips.


Another Sam's Club employee chimed in with additional advice, suggesting that a product price ending in $0.01 could also indicate a discontinuation.

However, this isn't a foolproof method, as not all items on the chopping block end with a penny. For the most accurate foresight, keep your eyes peeled for that crucial letter “C.”

Before you mourn the loss of your favorite items, there's a glimmer of hope.

Sometimes, Sam's Club discontinues products only temporarily, and they can make a triumphant return due to popular demand.

Take the cookie cakes, for example.

After being discontinued, a passionate outcry from members, including a Change.org petition with over 1,800 signatures, led to their sweet revival.

If you find yourself missing a product, don't despair—Sam's Club listens to its members.

By providing feedback directly to the retailer, you can influence which items make a comeback.

Whether through phone, email, or live chat, members can submit requests for specific products, armed with details like the model number or UPC and their club location.


Sam's Club offers two levels of membership, each with its own set of perks.

The standard Club membership, at $50 annually, includes benefits like members-only fuel savings, free curbside pickup on orders of $50 or more, and the convenience of Scan and Go shopping.

For those looking for even more, the Plus membership, at $110 annually, adds early shopping hours, free delivery, pharmacy and optical savings, and 2% Sam's Cash back, among other advantages.

Keep this secret letter in mind, and you'll never be caught off guard by a disappearing act again.

Happy shopping, and may your carts be filled with all your favorites for as long as possible!
