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.

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?
Hi. You would need to use your Visa card for auto-renewal in the payment method section, and then, you should use your $60 Costco shop card information in the proper field. Please visit https://www.groupon.com/faq#faqs:content-1036 for more information.

Yeah.

I don't have a Visa card and that would disqualify me from the incentives so I just refunded the Groupon.

Thx op. Very tempting.
Is there a way to get the card without paying a visit to the store? Interested in only gas purchases.
Hi. Unfortunately, after online redemption, membership cards will be provided at your local Costco warehouse. ​

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.

YES! I love sams scan and go. I love how sams marks their lanes unlike costco. Love sams app, curbsiide pickup, no surchage on shipping (if a business/plus member) and soooo much more. Sams is is also closer to me, which helps. I only would go to Costco for their cakes- they are great and cheap. Sams club cakes are nothing special.

The store doesn't have to "activate" your membership. That's already taken care of when you sign up online. The only thing you'll need to do at the physical store's CS desk is get your membership card (which has your photo on it). So, if that's what you're referring to when you say "get your picture taken" and you now have your physical membership card, you're all set with your membership. Just make sure you have autorenew turned on with a Visa card to meet the terms of this deal and ensure that you received the incentives.

We like the sams cake designs and pricing but costco cake tastes better
