According to the fine print, the $40 gift card and $40 off $250 online code are mailed 4-6 weeks after you activate the membership, but they also both expire on Dec 31. Keep that in mind if you plan to wait a while to activate, especially with all of the delays various delivery services have been experiencing lately, which are only likely to worsen as we get closer to Christmas.
For the last groupon deal last year, I activated around december something and costco extended my coupons. ymmv.

The instructions are incorrect on signing up for auto-renewal.
I put in my Visa card and it did not give any option to opt into auto-renew.
I then put in the $60 card code and PIN and bought the membership.
I then went into the account and saw auto-renew was not active, so I entered my Visa number and activated it. Hope this does not screw up the promotions that are supposed to be attached to my account.Guess I have to wait 4-6 weeks to find out.
Exactly! I did the whole thing twice because the first time there was no auto-renew option. The second time I added the Shop Now card and it completely removed the credit card form.

I manually activated auto-renew. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Quote from Groupon :
Just by entering the billing information of your Visa card (Costco US), you agree that your Costco membership fee will automatically renew at the membership price you've selected. See more details here: https://www.groupon.com/faq#faqs:content-1036
The problem is that there is no place to select auto-renew during redemption. And If I use shop card, the credit card form completely disappears.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank winocm

Found the fine print for folks who were not able to set up auto-renew during the checkout

You can enroll in auto-renewal at the same time you complete your online redemption if your state requires you pay sales tax. Tax will be listed under Order Summary on the membership checkout page.

If Tax is listed as $0.00 in your Order Summary, you will need to enroll in auto-renewal after redeeming your membership. You may do so under the Membership Details section on your Costco confirmation page or from your Costco Account Details page.

Do we need to go into the store and activate the membership and get a picture taken or can we skip that part for now?

Combine with Amex Small business offer, you can get this for 30. Samsung pay has Groupon gift card, technically you can buy six $10 ones and get $30 back with Amex. Not sure how many gift cards can be used in one Groupon purchase though

Edit: You can redeem groupon gift cards prior to this purchase by going to www.groupon.com/giftcards. After loading your account with $60.00 groupon bucks, then you can place the order

Sorry for any confusion, please follow the instructions on your voucher to complete online redemption at Costco.com. See more details here: https://www.groupon.com/faq#faqs:content-1036". The activation needs to be done at a Costco location.

Thanks for the detailed instructions. Unfortunately, I don't have a Visa card. I guess I need to go get one before I try this deal.
Yes. No gift cards without a Visa. You could still get the Dosh if you didn't want a Visa.
You could consider the Costco Citi Bank card, but I think the annual fee is only waived while you remain a Costco member.
Citi card doubles warranty again (quadruple warranty), but I have a 2% cashback on everything from PenFed with checking, or 2% warehouse from Bank of America.

Sorry for any confusion, but this offer is not valid for current Costco members or those whose memberships expired after April 1, 2020. As you are a current member, you are not eligible.

I just bought this from Groupon and renewed my expired membership from 9/19. It didn't allow me to auto renew so do I still get the coupons I hope?

I always keep getting

"Currently access to your membership is not available, please try again at a later time. If you need immediate assistance, call 1-800-774-2678 or visit a Costco membership counter.
"

Any idea how to get past this? This is when I try to signup for a new membership in costo.com
