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.

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.
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???

Did you receive the membership number online, or was it something that the store people had to look up for you?

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.
I'm confused. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
My wife's membership was expired on July 2020 and I was an additional member under her membership. Can I join as new member and add her as an additional card holder now?

Thank you in advance.

So if I wait to activate for a while (like December) will I be able to use the coupon and giftcard still?

I have a Sam's Club Membership still so I don't want to overlap longer than I need to

Is the shop card we get from this costco deal treated like a gift card in the website and in store to purchase the membership? (Not talking about the $40 bonus one)

I bought this one but never received anything from groupon on it. Going to my groupon account it shows that the "Your Order is Processing"

I was able to submit payment info but it doesn't seem as if I've been charged.

My personal membership just expired past June and my Costco Visa is added to this expire account; however, I would like to open a business membership. Would this offer apply?
Unfortunately, this offer is not valid for those memberships that expired after April 1, 2020.

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. If you have a question about whether you qualify as a new member, contact the membership counter at your local Costco.

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?
Do you think that worked like a $60 costco gift card to buy the membership on the costco website or was that like a voucher for a pre-purchased membership?
