*To receive a Digital Costco Shop Card, you must provide a valid email address and set up auto renewal of your Costco membership on a Visa® card at the time of sign-up. If you elect not to enroll in auto renewal at the time of sign-up, incentives will not be emailed. Valid only for nonmembers for their first year of membership.

Promotion is nontransferable and may not be combined with any other promotion. Digital Costco Shop Card is not redeemable for cash, except as required by law. Digital Costco Shop Card will be emailed to the email address provided by the Primary Member at time of sign-up within 2 weeks after successful sign-up and enrollment in auto renewal. Costco is not liable for incentives not received due to entry of an invalid address during sign-up.

(Note: You will see a $0.01 deduction on your membership cost after the promo code is entered. This indicates that your promo code has been successfully processed so your incentive will be emailed.) A Costco membership is $60 a year. An Executive Membership is an additional $60 upgrade fee a year. Each membership includes one free Household Card. May be subject to sales tax. Costco accepts all Visa cards, as well as cash, checks, debit/ATM cards, EBT and Costco Shop Cards. Departments and product selection may vary.

And I believe you can get a refund if you decide halfway through that you definitely won't make it, just in case.

Does anyone know if there is any options now? CSR hasn't been helpful at all.
Totally. Purchased membership for adult son and nothing. So tired of advertised promos not received.

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] !
(As before I am blanking things.)
Clicking on Access Card Now at the bottom displays this page:
(Print My eGift Card prints this exact page.)
Some FAQ items, as I was not aware there were Digital Shop Cards.
Where this can be used:
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.

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.)
And I believe you can get a refund if you decide halfway through that you definitely won't make it, just in case.
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.

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.
