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.

Thx op. Very tempting.
Is there a way to get the card without paying a visit to the store? Interested in only gas purchases.

You still have to enter the store to get your membership card. They need to take a picture of you for your photo on the card.

Costco is much better. Selection is better. Employees are happier. Prices are better in most instances. Quality is better too. Costco optical is open. Sam's club isn't. It took the business days to get glasses. We have to travel 90 miles past Sam's to go to Costco. I'll wait in line.

You'll have to visit the store one time to get your initial card, however you won't have to travel far, as the gas stations are located in the parking lots of the actual stores. You can go straight to the service desk, get your card on the spot and walk right back out.

Yeah, that's what I thought as well. And I know the stores are usually adjacent to the pump, and that's not the concern. The requirement of having to enter the store just to get the membership card is a burden. It would be nice if they can do this curbside ... LOL

On the plus side, the service desk at every Costco I've been to has been right inside the front door. It would be pretty difficult for them to take your photograph in favorable lighting conditions and print a membership card (hard plastic, so it requires special equipment) curbside. And you only have to do it once. It will probably take you less time than you'll be waiting in line at the pump.

I think you're right, it's prolly gonna be quick and easy. And if nothing goes, I can still use the membership with Instacart. They just need the number.
Going to pull the trigger on this.

My mom constantly loses her Costco card and has to get a new one almost every time she shops there. I don't think it has ever taken her more than 5 or 10 minutes to do so. Costco can get pretty busy on weekend afternoons, so just try to avoid those times if you're really worried about a potential line at the service desk. Check out their snack bar while you're in there and you maybe pleasantly surprised. They have really good pizza and cheap prices on pop/hot dog combos.

You can also shop on Costco's website with the membership number and costco.com purchases can be returned in-store.

Yep, that's correct too, and no one can beat them on their handling of returns. 👍 Ty and repped.

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.
The costco I went to in Seattle had no idea how to activate my membership, said everything's already done online. Just took my picture, what should I do???
