Sam's Club has slashed its membership price to $20 for shoppers looking to purchase a membership.
The retailer is offering a deal for 55 percent off the regular cost of a yearly membership through June 16.
This cost drop would apply to a Sam's Club membership for the first year, which usually costs $50.
The limited-time deal is also considerably cheaper than a Costco membership, which is now $65 a year for a standard membership and $130 a year for an executive level membership.
Potential new members can redeem the offer online and in stores at all Sam's Club locations nationwide.
The brand is also offering new shoppers the option to purchase a year-long Plus membership for $60 instead of the usual $110.
A Plus membership includes all the perks of a regular membership, as well as extras including free shipping and free curbside pickup.
The wholesaler, owned by Walmart, received a positive response from shoppers after offering a first year of membership for $20 last year.
Sam's Club members who purchase a regular membership will be able to make use of an array of benefits.
These include member-only items and fuel savings, a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee, and two membership cards - with one going to an additional household member.
They can skip lines with a scan-and-go option in stores, cafes, and fuel stations and have free curbside pickup for orders over $100.
Mastercard cardholders will also be able to earn 5 percent Sam's Cash back on gas, 3 percent on dining, and 1 percent on other purchases.
However, Sam's Cash on gas will only be applied to the first $6,000 spent on fuel and change to 1 percent afterward.
Sam's Club Plus members will have the same benefits as regular ones, along with seven others.
Plus members with Mastercards can receive 3 percent back at Sam's Club instead of 1 percent on other purchases, earn 2 percent Sam's Cash Back on in-club qualifying purchases for up to $500 a year, and shop up to two hours early in stores.
They can also enjoy free shipping and delivery on orders over $50, obtain pharmacy and optical services, as well as 50 percent off vehicle tire and battery installations.

Sam's Club started revamping efforts in 2017 to compete with other chains.
And some of its plans have become a reality over the last couple of years.
Walmart CEO Doug McMillon confirmed in 2024 that Sam's Club would roll out AI technology in select stores.
The plan has slowly become a reality this year, leading to Sam's Club axing self-checkouts from all its locations.
It has also competed with Costco by offering lower membership costs and a $1.38 hot dog and soda combo.
Sam's Club plans to open 30 stores this year, remodel all existing locations, and open at least 15 new clubs each year.
The brand's revenue is continuing to grow, and its first quarter earnings showed a 9.6 percent increase in membership income - after beating Costco for the title of the nation's top warehouse club for customer service.
