FYI - I went through the membership signup process a couple of times and ended up with going into limbo both times - costco system hung up. Signed up for a costco account and entered the process and it worked!

Your comment cannot be blank.

Featured Comments

If anyone is trying to decide between the regular and executive membership, just know/remember you need to spend $3000 in store or online annually (with a few exclusions) for the executive membership to pay for itself/recoup the extra cost. Every dollar after that is profit.

And I believe you can get a refund if you decide halfway through that you definitely won't make it, just in case.
Their scan and go app is phenomenal though. Hate standing in line at Costco like a sucker. Their TP and paper towels are still cheaper than HEB, and better quality too. Bottled water is cheaper as well, if you need bottled water.
FYI for anyone who bit on the $20 card offer last week - no price match on membership promotional offers. I tried on chat with a representative earlier.

Didn't get the gift card. My membership was expired for more than 18 months when I used this deal. The $0.01 promo had been applied and I followed all instructions.

Does anyone know if there is any options now? CSR hasn't been helpful at all.

Woo-hoo!

If you look my earlier post(s), I ordered on 5/3.

Today (5/8) I received the email for the $40 Digital Shop Card from [email protected] !

Uh-oh, I see that one cannot use a Digital Shop Card at Food Court kiosks.

(I don't like using my Visa only for a $1.50 hot dog & Dew.)

Whew, the Digital Shop Card can be transferred to a physical Shop Card:

That will be the first thing I do next time I am in the store.

Plus the Digital Shop Card cannot be used at the gas pumps. (Physical Shop Cards apparently can. I will have to find out for sure.)

As with my other post(s), I hope this will be helpful for this and future Costco deals of this type.

Am contemplating giving this a try.

I went through the order process the overnight of 5/2 to 5/3 and received the Order Confirmation then. (Detailed in my Update 5/3/24 of my 05-01-2024 at 06:27 PM. post, at the end.)

Took the Order Confirmation printout to Costco later in the day on 5/3 and they took a picture of my mug (ugh, and I thought driver license pictures were bad!) and created the membership card.

On 5/8 at 4:21 PM CDT I received the email for the Digital Shop Card. Thus 5/3 afternoon to 5/8 afternoon.

So yes, I went into Costco to "activate" my membership before I received the Digital Shop Card. I have no idea if that is a dependency, versus just ordering. Interesting thought though. But I did not want to wait once I received the Order Confirmation.

(Now here it gets complicated with my mangled memory. I think I was in Costco Thursday afternoon (5/2) where I wandered around for a while. Because there was a grand opening of a Cub grocery store in the same development, so possibly combined stops. Obviously couldn't buy anything, but confirmed things like a (physical) Shop Card can be used at their food kiosks.)

But wait, there's more! After I was "activated" on 5/3 I went literally across the street to Aldi. (Their 2% milk is 50 cents a gallon less than Costco.) The time on the Aldi receipt? 4:41 PM CDT. Hmmmm...

If I just went into Costco to get "activated" then right over to Aldi, that could be twenty minutes. But that seems short to me.

But if I wandered around after getting "activated" and before going to Aldi, way more the twenty minutes. At least an hour or more.

So it would be fascinating if I was "activated" 4:21 PM CDT on 5/3. But no way to prove it. I don't remember the exact time and there is no time, only a date in my membership info.

However, why chance things by waiting to activate? One can always cancel the membership and get a refund.

(While I am posting this, I might as well mention I had no problem converting my Digital Shop Card to a physical Shop Card at Costco. And the physical Shop Card can be used at their gas pumps.)

I have been an executive member for years. I also had their Amex. And now Citi visa. I typically get about $1600 a year between executive and Citi card. I think it's great.

I haven't received my gift card yet either. It's been over 2 weeks, I used the code and saw the $0.01 deduction, it's been 18 months since I had a membership, etc.

Costco is the worst when it comes to technology. They still can't be sure something's in stock when you check online.

It's 2024 and they're in 2004.

Data point- Signed up on 5/6 and received my $40 e-gift card today 5/15. I had no trouble using it at self checkout. I verified my membership using the app and have not gone to the customer service desk for a physical card or picture yet.

Signed up for a new membership on 5/13. Just received an email today (5/23) for the Shop Card and the value is only $20 🙄. Super frustrating.
