Nah. Try Sam's Scan and Go and you'll wonder why you're waiting in line at Costco.

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.

edit: Groupon has confirmed in this thread that both the $40 off $250 online code and the $40 Shop Card expire at the end of January.

Also, the Groupon offer itself is available until August 31st.

Yes, you have about 11 months to do that.

Remember to sign up at BEGINNING of the month as membership always expires at end of month, 13 for 12.

GrouponNo worries! The membership is activated as soon as the redemption is completed on the Costo website. Once you have received a confirmation email, you'll have an active Costco membership number that is valid to shop online using that membership number immediately and you will receive your membership card upon your first visit to a Costco location.
Pls confirm renewal expired before the the April cutoff in terms qualifies for the cash card.

I am confused how this works

1. I purchased $60 groupon deal
2. I received $60 costco card with card number and pin
3. I opened costco.com and clicked on membership
4. Now I enter all my information and clicked on continue
5. This is where my confusion is. In payment method should I use the $60 costco card or should I use my visa card for auto renewal to be eligible for the goodies?
How'd you get 60 instead of 40?

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.

Here's how I did it...
  • Purchased the $60 Groupon Deal
  • Claimed/Redeemed it...
  • Went to Costco's page to fill out the membership information
  • Entered my Visa CC information
  • Selected to use the Costco Shop Card
    • At this point, my CC information got cleared out
  • I went and re-entered the CC information back in
  • I then was able to proceed forward and my CC got charged just the tax for the membership.
    • If you don't pay tax or get prompted to, then I believe you just move forward paying with the $60 Costco Card and go setup the auto renew immediately after creating the membership.
Thank you!

the problem is.. as soon as I apply the $60 shop card for membership I am not able to apply credit card no more.

If your state charges tax on membership then you can pay tax with Visa card and turn on auto renew during sign up

If your state doesn't charge tax on membership then activate membership as is -- sign up for auto renew using your online account immediately after activating

If you activate right now in Aug then your membership will exp 8/31/21 -- if you wait until Sept then it'll exp 9/30/21 (I'm waiting until Sept since Aug is almost done)

If I'm currently a free household member (card holder) under someone elses account, does that make me an "existing member" and ineligible for this deal?
Hi, you are eligible as a new member as long as the membership you are enrolled with has expired, If you have a question about whether you qualify as a new member, contact the membership counter at your local Costco.

Doesn't Costco treat you as a new member only after 6 months of expiration? I just renewed my membership couple of days ago at Costco and they didn't say anything about it being new. It was expired in July and I didnt update it until August 15th

Do I have to activate the membership in store if i only do online shopping? Thanks!
Hi, this promotion requires an extra online redemption process to get the membership, this can be used immediately but you should go to a local Costco counter to claim your physical card.

I went to Costco this past weekend. When my wife and I walked in, it was packed. We walked around, did our shopping, and got in line to check out. We were at the self checkout within 30 seconds or so of getting in line and out the door a few minutes later. It was quick and easy. Perhaps we just got there at a good time but it was on the weekend so I suspect that would be the busier time.

When I went, as I was going to the self check out line (no wait btw), the Costco employee told me the wipes just came in so I made a dash towards the palate and scored a box of super valuable disinfecting wipes!
