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.

There is no doubt in my mind if Costco had Self Check Out they would do a lot more business. I deliberately avoid Costco as much as I need to because I don't want to wait in line. I don't think Management at Costco has any clue how annoying their long lines are. Of course they don't mind putting an express check out for the food court so you can get your $1.50 hot dog ASAP.
The Costco I used to go to had self check out for months years ago and then they got rid of it because of theft. My current Costco has self check out and in both cases it did not do anything to ease the checkout wait. For some reason when people have to scan their own items they're dumbfounded. It holds up the line and then there are the people with a cart full of stuff who goes to the self check out. It's so aggravating. Sams club has the same problem too but at least the one by me limits to 10 items or fewer.

Did Groupon recently block Discover card via Paypal? That 5% quarterly was making or breaking this deal for me, and it wasn't showing up as a usable card despite being in my wallet

Do you have to go INSTORE? I was hoping to buy it for online purchases only since there are no stores in my state yet.

Both of my Costco stores have self checkout and they're manned to keep it moving, prevent theft, etc. I love it!

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)
Hi there! After online redemption, membership cards will be provided at your local Costco warehouse. The $40 Costco Shop Card and $40 Off Discount Code will be mailed 4–6 weeks after redemption. For more information, visit https://www.groupon.com/faq#Costco.

Weird.

and Thanks!

Scroll back up and click buy membership.

It'll show the membership conditions again on the next page and you should be able to go through with your purchase.

Same. I go to Sam's just because I hate the Costco lines.
Scan and go for the win.
