I would like to know, what is the perks now for plus card members? I only paid for the plus card membership so that I can get in and out early hours.

That about sums it up. What I usually do is upgrade my membership towards the last third or quarter of the last year that way it's probated much cheaper and that's when I scheduled to buy things like tires and free shipping on any online ordered items.

Getting in and out early are great perks. Also, the extra bonus points you earn on your purchases that turn in cash you can use at Sam's. And the cheaper gas and deals on tires, just to name a few.
