We have been using Golden Corral gift cards from Sam's Club for a few years. Definitely a bargain and never had an issue. You can't purchase these (or any gift card) using Sam's Club "Scan and Go." They have to be activated during checkout. Always ask about activation, especially if you're going to give as a gift. Once you leave the checkout nothing can be done by Sam's Club or Golden Corral. That's the same for any gift card. I've gifted and received as a gift and never a problem.

Great price on this card and I'm glad it's back in the club. I hated having to order it and wait, when I need it now

This will be my first time purchasing the $25 GC cards, but I have purchased several of $50 ones. I used them this past weekend. It was the first time I had an issue. I checked the balance before using, as I had some I had used and had a small balance. The lady couldn't get the card reader to read them. We tried several times. I wasn't budging. She had that "Oh well" attitude. My attitude was either it works or my family of 5 is continuing into the dining room. Imagine that she could manually enter the card and it worked. It would be different if it had a zero balance, but these didn't. I have ordered several gift cards from Sams Club and knock on wood, never had an issue. It's a great way to save.

Please just do the math! Tons and of savings! Now stack it with also scanning your mobile app & wala! Even more savings! I get these atleast once a week! Love Golden Corral!

So much cheaper than paying at the restaurant. Delivery is free and fast. As for Golden Corral: you might need to try a few on your area, but when you found a good one the all you can eat sirloin steak for dinner service makes it totally worth it!!

These cards have saved us lots of money over decades of eating at GC every Monday. Buyer beware. I paid $480 for 12 cards and 5 of them were invalid when we tried to use them at Golden Corral. Both Sam's Club and Golden Corral said, "Sorry, out of luck" and no refund or fixing them was offered. I lost $200. In the long run, I guess they didn't save me any money.

They came without proper shipping and were bent terribly. I tried to use and they were not accepted because they weren't able to run through.

If you have bad luck to get the GCs which were never been activated by retailer or whoever should be responsible. You Cannot use it in restaurant; You Cannot return it to Sam's (neither online nor in-store). No one has the "Right" to refund you, and no one has the idea of how to solve this issue for you. The Only thing you will get is "I am Sorry but nothing we can do".

DO NOT BUY ONLINE. CARDS ARE NOT ACTIVATED, AND YOU CAN'T GET A REFUND! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!

We buy these in store and love the almost $10 savings, but when shipped, we received an empty package from FedEx that had been resealed. Sam's Club and FedEx both said we're just out of luck. $40 for a lesson learned.
