The Sept. 19 release of Apples new iPhones can only be classified as another success story for the company, and sales show no signs of slowing down. Demand for the phone is still high, with many retail locations out of stock on some models, especially the 64-GB version.

It was only a matter of time before a major retailer offered a deal on the device, and with the holiday season approaching, Sam's Club is getting an early jump on the discounting for a one-day event on Nov. 15.

The retail outlet will offer the 16-GB version of the iPhone 6 at only $99, representing a significant $100 discount off the retail price being charged at all other retail outlets as well as at the Apple store.

Back in September, Sam's Club and its sister company Wal-Mart were the only major retailers to offer any kind of discount on iPhone 6 preorders, with Wal-Mart selling the 16 GB iPhone 6 at $179, and Sam's Club for a couple of dollars less, at $177. While the $20 or $22 savings was nothing to sneeze at, especially for a hard-to-find, newly released device, the deal was also limited to the 16-GB version of the iPhone 6.

Sam's Club is upping the ante this time by now offering a much deeper discount of $100, and extending it to the iPhone 6 phones with larger storage space, pricing the 64-GB model at $199, and the 128-GB model at $299.

There are a couple of catches, however. The item is in limited supply, with each Sam's Club retail location offering 40 to 50 units at the special price, and you also have to be a Sam's Club member to get the deal. Membership, however, is priced at $45, which still gives you $55 off the price of the phone elsewhere, and a year to take advantage of other deals at the store, which always include some deep holiday discounts. Right now, though, Living Social is offering a great special deal (registration required) on a Sam's Club membership in which your $45 also gives you a $20 Sam's Club gift card and four free fresh food items including a rotisserie chicken, and fresh baked cookies.

If you'd rather not mix your technology and food purchases, there are sure to be additional deals on the iPhone 6 from other retailers as the holiday season approaches. We'll be sure to continue to bring you the news on them as soon as it emerges.
