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.

who sends the coscto card Groupon or costco?
Hi! Groupon sends you the voucher with redemption instructions. You need to follow these steps in order to activate the membership and get the incentives. In this case, Costco sends you the Shop Card and the other incentives. To learn more, visit https://www.groupon.com/faq#faqs:content-1036.

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.
Hi! After online redemption, membership cards will be provided at your local Costco warehouse. We hope it answers your question! ​

Card number and PIN are provided at checkout. What people are asking is *if you do not want to ever go inside a Costco store for any reason at all* can you shop online without ever getting a physical card? Shouldn't the digital card be acceptable at checkout?

This link lists an expiration date for the $40 off coupon code for Canadian Costco members, but has no date listed for US members. Could you please confirm the expiration date for US members? I'd like to wait until Dec 1 to activate my membership, but I'm concerned about receiving the code in time to use it with the 4-6 week processing time, especially with the state of the USPS lately.

Is the $40 Shop Card provided with this promotion a standard Costco Shop Card with no expiration date or is it a promotional card which expires? If it does expire, when is the expiration date?

How long will this offer be available to purchase from Groupon?

No worries! To qualify, you must redeem your voucher by December 31, 2020. However, promo code expires on January 31, 2021.
On the other hand, this deal will be available on Groupon until August 31, 2020.

Thank you for your reply. What about the $40 shop card. Does that have an expiration date or is it a standard card which does not expire?

In this case, we recommend you to contact Costco Customer Support directly, they can provide you with complete information about their shopping process.

When you activate your membership, does it end on the same date next year, or does it extend till the end of the month?

Since I haven't seen anyone post/confirm this yet... your Costco membership starts on the day you actually redeem the Groupon.

I purchased 8/21, but redeemed 8/22, and my Costco account reflects a start date of 8/22. So in theory, you should be able to buy the Groupon today and wait until 9/1 to redeem (so your Costco membership expires on 9/30 of next year).
