So a membership for $30 then ($60 - $30)?

I know lots of Costco fans hate on other warehouse stores, but when we were maintaining both Sam's Club and Costco memberships last year we basically stopped going to Costco. Nothing beats the ability scan and pay with an app, skip the lines and have the door check people just scan a barcode on my phone!
good deal but I hate going in store esp. these days. I called to cancel my Sams and they gave me free 5 months

Do they do FS deals or any reason to join both for online only deals? Seems like I see more sams deals

Walmart is definitely more desperate for new Sam's members... but our last Costco membership was completely free with a Gap credit card offer. Costco does allow you to shop online without a membership and even offers free shipping in some cases, although with a surcharge. Sam's doesn't do free shipping unless you pay a lot more for their "plus" membership.

I am primarily a BJ's shopper since it's on my way home, has a gas station and I have their 5% CC.

Then I got a Sam's membership because it was basically free - but it's about 30 min drive (same town where the IL's live).

There is a new Costco not on my way home but maybe 15 min out of the way..... thinking about getting a membership to check out what is different but not sure if it's worth it....

Doesn't help that they (WM) culled a ton of Sam's locations a few years back. I think there are only 2 left in CT - probably the more convenient one to me was closed.

A couple of years ago Gap Card holders got an offer for a free Costco membership.

Not slick enough, especially with going out less and limited food court. I think $10 to $15 is about what I would pay... I definitely don't see enough there that I've saved money on for it to be worth going for. Costco is definitely a luxury

There was a post about upgrading to Executive Membership & applying for Costco Citi Visa Card on same day of activation. and get $60 Costco Card. You have to do on the same day accordingly. I can't find the post anymore, but ask for the promo at the Warehouse CS. It might still be live. Remember it must be same day of activation. New membership only, not for renewal.

I think it goes by your DL info.

You've got to go to a local store to activate .... that's when they'll enter your DL.

If you've had a Membership within 18 months, you're done .... your 30$ cash card just evaporated, gone, bai-bai.

..... the Associate won't even know to tell you, since you're using a Certificate to open this new membership ..... the ups folks (whoever's is running the 30$ CC programme) will know you're not New, and not ship your card.

I may be entirely incorrect, but that's how I would set it if I were in your shoes.

You might as well apply for EBT if you're hurting. This deal is better than paying $60 with no perks.
