Sam's Club digital card not activating on GrapheneOS

I believe the short answer is, unfortunately no

The only thing you can do is contact Sam's Club and pass on the instructions for properly checking integrity:

Has this started working for anyone? I'm now on GOS 20250203, which, I believe, is supposed to check for the use of Play Integrity (which I figured was the culprit). But, I get no notification of it being used.

Let me ask again, has anyone here gotten this working yet? It still doesn't work for me. I've got Exploit Protection Compatibility Mode turned on for the app and get no notification that it's trying to use Play Integrity. Yet, all I get when trying to Activate Card is that oh so helpful "We Hit a Snag" notification from them. I cleared cache and storage and re-signed-in with no problems. It's just that Activate Card bit that's biting me.

App is from the Google Play Store. No VPN or anything like that. Have been a Sam's Club member for decades. Been using the app for years.

Signed up just to come on here and reply to this. Use Aurora Store to install version 24.07.40 (24074001) from July 18, 2024. Everything works, including the store card in wallet and Scan&Go. No special GOS settings necessary, just use the app as-is and be sure to blacklist the app from updates in Aurora Store or you'll be uninstalling & reinstalling again.

Today, I updated the Sam's Club app to the latest version (25.7.40). To get it to activate my card, I had to uninstall the old app and install a fresh copy of the new one. But, after that, I could finally activate my card.

I also faced the same issue where the Sam’s Club digital membership card would not activate on GrapheneOS and kept showing the “we hit a snag” error.

The important thing is that the membership card activates instantly on a non-GrapheneOS phone, which clearly shows the account itself is fine. This seems to be an app-side restriction, most likely related to Play Integrity / device attestation checks, which GrapheneOS intentionally doesn’t fully support.

Yes, I’ve encountered the same issue. The fact that the card activates instantly on a standard Android device confirms that the account is fine. As you mentioned, this seems to be an app-side restriction, likely tied to Play Integrity / device attestation checks. Since GrapheneOS intentionally doesn’t fully support these checks for privacy and security reasons, some apps like Sam’s Club may fail to recognize the device as “verified,” which triggers the “we hit a snag” error.

Until the app provides support for alternative attestation methods or GrapheneOS updates a compatible solution, using a standard Android device seems to be the only reliable way to activate the card.
