The short answer
BJS* WHOLESALE represents an annual membership fee renewal ($55 Club, $110 Club+) or online grocery order from BJ's Wholesale Club.
Understanding your BJ's Wholesale charge
If you spot BJS* WHOLESALE on your bank or credit card statement, the charge comes directly from BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. This line item most commonly represents an annual BJ's Wholesale Club Membership fee. Standard Club membership costs $55 per year, while the Club+ tier with higher cashback rewards costs $110 annually. If you enrolled in BJ's Easy Renewal when signing up, the company charges this amount automatically around your anniversary date each year.
Beyond annual dues, the BJS* WHOLESALE descriptor also processes digital purchases made through bjs.com. This includes curbside pickup orders, express same-day grocery deliveries, optical orders, and direct-to-home shipping. In some club locations, specialized purchases like tires or bulk optical products can trigger this descriptor instead of the regular register merchant code. An unexpected $55 or $110 line item almost always points to an automated annual membership renewal that went through without a prior calendar reminder.
To verify or dispute the transaction, sign in to your member account at bjs.com and open the Account Details section. Under Membership Settings, you can inspect your active plan, view recent order receipts, and toggle off the Easy Renewal feature to prevent future automatic charges. If you were billed for a renewal you no longer want, BJ's provides a 100% money-back guarantee on the membership fee during your active membership period. You can request a full refund by visiting the Member Services desk at your local club or by contacting BJ's Member Care through their website.
