Sam's Club will have a grand sales event as soon as November 12, and the prices for that, which you can see below, are usually a good indicator of the discounts you can expect on November 22, when the retailer's Black Friday events start.

Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus: $250 gift cards and waived activation fees on any iPhone bought on installments, including the iPhone 7. Pricing starts at $0 down “for well-qualified members,” and you can order up to five. As usual, limited quantities are expected, and it’s not known what iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models will be in stock;

Galaxy S7 and S7 edge: the same $250 gift card and waived activation fee deal that you read above for iPhone, is valid for the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge on November 12, too;

Apple iPad Pro: Sam’s Club will also discount the Apple iPad Pro by $175, regardless of storage or connectivity option. The iPad deal is valid online only and should get you some nice savings if you’re shopping for brand new iOS tablets this year;
