      This is general complaint about the extreme difficulty that this company creates for people wishing to cancel their automatic membership renewal.I was just made aware that Ive been charged $110 for the past 2-3 years unknowingly. Now I understand that automatic renewals are commonly forgotten about, so when I discovered the active membership I logged into their website to cancel it.This is when I discovered that I am not authorized to do so. For some reason when my girlfriend at the time and I signed up for the membership, she was listed as the Primary Member, and I was listed as just a Household Member. So even though the charges have been to MY credit card, I do not have the authority to cancel the automatic payment method or membership. This seems borderline illegal. Ill attach an image that will show their statement, and youll see the greyed-out cancel button that Im apparently not authorized to do.This is an extremely shady practice. Its 2024 and in my opinion they intentionally make it difficult to cancel memberships and/or payment methods. I will never be stepping foot in a BJs ever again and will be sharing my experience with others as well.

      Better Business Bureau:I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # ********. Please add your rejection comments below; if you do not provide any details, your complaint will be closed as Answered. 

      Regarding complaint number ********, the posted resolution states that the company reached out to me to try and resolve my issue, and that I never responded. This is a lie, as I have a total of 4 back-and-forth communications with the company. They reached out asking what they could help with, and when I asked for assistance in cancelling my membership (the entire reason for the complaint), they responded by stating they cant help and suggesting I should cancel my credit card and file a fraud claim with ****************. I would like these facts to be noted in the resolution as the difficulty in canceling a membership was the entire reason for my complaint, and the fact that I had to cancel my card in order to do so (as suggested by the company themselves), is a major issue.

      BJs received an email from the Better Business Bureau on 12/19/24 stating they (BBB) had reached out to the member but had not received a response. Weve also contacted the member and sent an email on 12/4/24, to which the member responded the same day.

      ******** is not the primary account holder, so we are unable to discuss any account information with him. We have informed the member and recommended blocking their card or requesting a new one to prevent further charges. Additionally, we suggested disputing the charges directly with their bank for further resolution.

      I downgraded my membership and have been waiting for a refund since October. I have called multiple times, but to no avail. All of the **** claimed to have escalated the issue, but I still do not have my refund.

      Purchased 4 ****s at BJ's on 11/30, and scheduled an installation for 12/4. Via BJ's online. On 12/3, Bj's called us and said they could not honor the appointment for tire installation. They did not have the tires, and were backed up on installation. Despite BJ's showing that my installation date was all set. Bj's refused to give us a time when the tires would be available. They said they had no idea!YET, as of today, 12/3/24, BJ's was still selling these same tires on their website with only a few days to wait for installation.Mind you, my order showed ZERO days to wait and BJS's showed open availability for install on Wednesday, December 4th!Bj's said they might be able to honor the tire installation some time after December 2024! They refused to say when??The Bj's tire representative told me the BJ's ordering system did not work. He had no idea where my tires were, no idea where they were coming ******* idea when they would come in, no idea who to contact to find out, and said this is typical of the BJ's ordering system.He said he had to call many people to say their orders were not going to be honored. This is a scam. This is not an isolated incident.I could go on.The BBB needs to look into BJ's **** services and get the ******'s office to hold BJ's accountable for their SCAM!!I want to be contacted by someone at BJS in authority, from corporate! Not the tire installer!!!

      I ordered an iPad 10.9 inches, 64 GB, Blue Color from BJ on 28-Nov-2024 as part of the Black Friday ******* has not fulfilled a black Friday deal after saying it's ********** looks like they even created a fake tracking number, as it is not available for tracking even after 5 days at the ***** site. The shipping status at ***** still says, The tracking number you entered can't be found right now. Please check the number with the shipper or try again later.I called BJ several times to fulfill this order, and I even logged a complaint with them, Complain no: no: *******, but no ******* looks like, at best, they may refund, but I do not need a refund, as this was in a black Friday deal. Had they told me or not placed this false tracking of being shipped, I would have gotten it from ******, Best Buy, or *******. They all were running the same deal. Now, if they refund, I cannot get it from them either, as the black Friday sale is over. Hence, I want BJ to provide me with the item as they promised was shipped rather than a refund. Please help

      I purchased a TV on 11-29--24 that stated it come with 2 year additional coverage. 1 year is from manufacturer and 1 year is from BJ's. I have spoken to the cashier, a customer service at ********************** warehouse or 3 agents at Bj's corporate office and noone is able to tell me how I can make sure the additional year coverage thru BJ's will be honored. There is no mention of the coverage on my receipt. The sales ad states "with 2 years coverage" but how do I know it will be honored if I don't have any physical proof. I did not purchase additional coverage because the sales ad stated it comes with 2 year coverage. I can't get a clear answer from anyone and feel this was a misleading ad. I need further explanation on how the additional bonus coverage thru bjs will be honored in the event I need it.

On 12/2/24, the member (one-day pass) filed a complaint with the BBB. That same day, I emailed the member (had a one-day pass) at 10:53 AM requesting a call or email. The member (had a one-day pass) emailed me on 12/4/24, and I responded on 12/5/24, advising them to file a dispute with their bank (see attached).

      I went to my local BJs on 11/30/2024 and found out at the register that my membership was cancelled. How can they cancel my membership when I had just renewed it on 09/07/2024. The customer service was of no help because they stated that there was a 'chargeback' in the amount of $58.64 on 11/22/2024 for my account. Firstly, I did not request a cancellation of the membership so why did they cancel my membership. Secondly, I have not received that chargeback credit in my credit card account. So because of all this debacle, I could not purchase the items I wanted. So I had to purchase a new membership for $58.64.I asked the customer service and they said 'someone' had canceled my membership. I clearly did not do it. So who did it then? And besides everything. I need my money back for the membership that was just canceled. Why should I have to pay twice for a membership in one year?If I dont get my money back, I am never shopping at BJs anymore.

      On Saturday, November 30, 2024 my wife, ******* ******, and I drove to BJs Wholesale Club in *************** after seeing an advertisement in the BJs App advertising a Propel 15 Trampoline for $159.98 on clearance. It specifically showed a green check for pickup available in *************** (photo attached). When we got to the store, there were 4 available on the sales floor. When we went to purchase, it rang up for $179.98. We spoke with the front end manager, Jasmine, and showed her the the BJs App specifically showing the $159.98 price and pickup available at the *************** location. We explained after seeing this very clear advertisement, we came directly to the store. Jasmine first tried to say the price was for a different BJs location, but we again showed her it specifically showed ***************. She said we dont price match or have control over the website. We were simply asking her to honor the advertised price which again showed *************** specifically. We then attempted to purchase through the app and pickup in store, however the BJs app kept giving an error saying out of stock despite the inventory right in front of us. We asked to speak with a higher manager but was told by Jasmine that we would have to put in a request or go through her, which was obviously not helpful. This was a very classic bait and switch maneuver to loyal customers. The app showed the lower price and pickup available (photos will show). This should have been corrected right at the time. Terrible customer service by Jasmine. She did not seem to be knowledgeable on how to handle or address the situation. We were forced to pay the higher unadvertised price. A billing adjustment needs to be made.
