Can one just print the $60 "coupon", take it to the store and sign up for auto renew then? (and be eligible for the 2 coupons that way)
So the $40 off online order is a coupon that gets mailed?

i did this offer. Got both the 40$ card and coupon in 8 days.

The $40 Costco Gift Card will be Mailed to you within 4-6 weeks.

You can enroll in auto-renewal at the same time you complete your online redemption if your state requires you pay sales tax. Tax will be listed under Order Summary on the membership checkout page.

If Tax is listed as $0.00 in your Order Summary, you will need to enroll in auto-renewal after redeeming your membership. You may do so under the Membership Details section on your Costco confirmation page or from your Costco Account Details page.

Question:
Quote from TanTheMan77 :
During checkout on the Costco Page, after adding "Costco Shop Card" my auto renewal option went away before clicking Buy Membership.

I had to go into my member details afterwards, and Add my Visa for Auto Renewal. Will I still receive the incentives?
Answer:
Quote from Groupon :
Sure you will! As long as you've signed up using a Visa card and the auto-renewal is activated on your account, the incentives will be mailed to you with no inconveniences. If you want to verify this you can get in touch with Costco at https://customerservice.costco.com/

Your comment cannot be blank.

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.

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).

I signed up on a deal similar to this right before the Covid BS hit. When I went in to redeem my coupon for free TP and laundry detergent pods (this was in Feb I think, before closures started) the place was such an insane zoo of people. The TP was long gone of course, but I got my laundry pods (they are ok, I would buy those Kirkland pods again) and got the hell out.

I have driven by it several times since then, during weekdays. Parking lot filled to the max, I keep on driving. At this rate I don't know if I'm going to use up my GC unless I can do it online (I should look into that).

Anyway, in a Covid world.... Costco is about the last place I want to be. Imagine going to Ikea on a Saturday, x100. Madhouse.

Hi! Keep in mind that in order for you to be able to receive the Costco incentives, you have to enroll to the auto-renewal using a Visa card, it could be a debit or a credit card but it must be a Visa.

Signed up today and was able to stack this deal with the mil/vet sign up bonus of $30 promotional card.

Slickdeal for sure! Thanks OP

How do you stack both the deals? Could you please provide the steps you took?

Certainly....

Do the deal as OP did, then when in store at customer service, state you at active or prior service military, show proof and they will add both to your account. YMMV because will depend on customer service.

SooOOoo..
I bought, processed and there was no where to select AutoRenew or not AutoRenew..
- There was a box for storing your credit card... but that had no reference to AutoRenew.

SIGH.. So I have no idea if their faulty systems which were setup by a moron, will actually provide me the incentives or not. .It looks like I might have to call corporate and explain their stupidity to them in 4-6 weeks.

I saw no options anywhere for this.. So I am curious as well..
Their web development team is terrible.

//EDIT:
I went to setup auto-renew.. and we can't setup auto Renew with a mastercard (even though it is a debit card which is claims is usable until you actually try to add one.). It requires Visa and does NOT allow a debt card like it states ?
WHAT THE ABSOLUTE KIND OF SH*T SHOW IS THIS ?
GROUPON and COSTCO NEED TO LEARN HOW TO USE ENGLISH.
It should say ; "VISA CREDIT OR VISA DEBT".. it doesn't.
