Practical Recommendation
Great if you already shop at Sam's and especially if you're a Plus member. Aim the card at gas (easy 5%), dining (3%), and your Sam's runs (3% with Plus). Rewards post as Sam's Cash you can spend in-club/online or cash out at the desk.
If you are not Plus, you only get 1% at Sam's, so treat this like a gas-and-dining card and keep a simple 2% card for everything else.
