About Sam's Club

Sam's Club is a U.S.-based membership warehouse club chain that offers bulk groceries, household goods, electronics, furniture, pharmacy services, and more to individuals and businesses. The company is headquartered in Bentonville, Arkansas, and operates clubs and fuel centers across the United States, including a Sam's Club location serving the Russellville, Arkansas area that appears in local business and community references.([bbb.org](https://www.bbb.org/us/ar/bentonville/profile/bulk-food-store/sams-club-1296-1000108082?utm_source=openai)) Sam's Club is a subsidiary of Walmart Inc. and uses the samsclub.com website for member services, online ordering, and account management.([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam%27s_Club?utm_source=openai))

A card statement line like "SAM'S 1 DDA PIN POS PUR CD6217 RUSSELLVILLE AR" is most likely a debit-card PIN purchase made at a Sam's Club location in or near Russellville, Arkansas, with the "1" indicating an internal store, lane, or pump identifier rather than a different company. The fact that the descriptor includes Russellville, AR and typical POS notation (DDA PIN POS PUR) strongly suggests an in‑person transaction, often at the Sam's Club fuel center or inside the club itself. Many Sam's Club locations include branded gasoline stations operating under the Sam's Club name.([help.samsclub.com](https://help.samsclub.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/380/kw/Fuel?utm_source=openai))

If you have questions about this charge, first check any recent Sam's Club activity—fuel purchases, in‑club shopping trips, or curbside orders—around the transaction date. You can verify details by logging into your account at samsclub.com or in the Sam's Club app to review digital receipts and order history. If something looks wrong, contact Sam's Club Member Services using the support options listed on their website or on the back of your membership card, and if you still don’t recognize the transaction, reach out to your bank’s fraud department to dispute or block the card. Keeping your membership card and payment cards secure and enabling transaction alerts with your bank can help catch any unauthorized activity quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my bank statement show “SAM'S 1 DDA PIN POS PUR RUSSELLVILLE AR”?

This descriptor typically indicates a debit-card PIN purchase at a Sam's Club location serving the Russellville, Arkansas area, with “1” likely referring to an internal store, lane, or pump identifier. It most commonly reflects an in‑person transaction such as buying fuel at the Sam's Club gas station or making a purchase inside the club.

Could this charge be from the Sam's Club gas station rather than inside the store?

Yes. Many Sam's Club locations operate fuel centers under the same merchant name, so gas purchases will often appear simply as a Sam's Club transaction with a local city and state. If you recently bought fuel at a Sam's Club near Russellville, Arkansas, that is likely what this charge represents.

How can I confirm exactly what I bought for this Sam's Club charge?

Log into your account at samsclub.com or in the Sam's Club app and check your recent purchase history and e‑receipts for the transaction date. In‑club and fuel center purchases made with your membership are often tied to your account, which can help you see what was purchased and the exact amount.

What should I do if I don’t recognize this Sam's Club transaction?

First, verify that no family members or authorized users used your card or Sam's Club membership around that date. If no one recognizes the charge, contact Sam's Club Member Services through the support section on samsclub.com and then notify your bank or card issuer to report potential fraud and request a card replacement if needed.

Does Sam's Club place temporary holds for fuel purchases?

Like many gas stations, Sam's Club fuel centers may place a temporary authorization hold on your card that can be higher than the final fuel amount. This hold is usually released and replaced by the actual transaction total within a few business days, so you may see a pending amount that later adjusts.

Are Sam's Club charges ever recurring or subscription-based?

Most Sam's Club in‑store and fuel purchases are one‑time charges. However, you may see recurring charges if you have auto‑renew enabled on your membership or if you use subscription-style services such as regularly scheduled deliveries. You can review and manage auto‑renew settings in your online Sam's Club account.

How can I get a copy of a receipt for a Sam's Club purchase showing as SAM'S 1 on my statement?

If the purchase was linked to your membership, you can usually retrieve an e‑receipt by signing into samsclub.com or the Sam's Club app and viewing your past purchases. For older or unlinked receipts, you can visit the Member Services desk at a Sam's Club location with your card and transaction date, or call Member Services for assistance.

Why is the city listed as Russellville, AR when I shopped at a nearby Sam's Club?

Card networks sometimes use the city associated with the store’s registered address or processing center, which may be Russellville, Arkansas for that particular club or fuel center. Even if you think of the location by a nearby suburb or highway, the merchant descriptor may still show Russellville as the city in the billing record.
