BENTONVILLE, Ark. — In conjunction with Earth Day, Sam’s Club and Synchrony, a consumer financial services company, have introduced a reward on the Sam’s Club Mastercard that provides additional value for cardholders when charging an electric vehicle.

Beginning May 1st, members with a Sam’s Club Mastercard will earn 5% back in Sam’s Cash on EV charges at eligible EV charging stations in the United States. In a special electric vehicle charging promotion, cardholders will earn an additional 5% back on EV charges for the entire month of May.

“At Sam’s Club, we put the member at the center of all we do, so we’re constantly looking for ways to deliver them even more value – not only through the items and prices we offer, but through every interaction they have with us, including with the Sam’s Club Mastercard,” said Ciara Anfield, senior vice president, chief member and marketing officer for Sam’s Club. “Earlier this year we launched Sam’s Cash – a new loyalty rewards program that simplified the way members earn and spend rewards. The addition of a way for members with a Sam’s Club Mastercard to earn more Sam’s Cash when they charge their EV, on top of our existing program, is yet another way we are working hard to offer an incredible value every day.”

“We are continuously evaluating credit card rewards and features that will recognize cardholders for doing things that make a difference, like choosing to personally help the environment by driving an electric vehicle,” said Tom Quindlen, executive vice president and chief executive officer of diversified and value for Synchrony. “We are proud to continue to build on our 25-plus year strategic partnership with Sam’s Club to offer programs that deliver more than just rewards to members but help to make an environmental impact for the long term. Together we are making a sustainability commitment for our cardholders.”
