No, Karen, Costco doesn't need you and we don't either.
Thanks. I just signed up.

Edit: just noticed these terms at the bottom which you don't know are there unless you scroll because there is no asterisk or anything to tell you there are special terms.



It mentions a promo code and that you have to use a visa both of which I didn't so no idea if I got the promo or not. I did not get a 1 penny reduction in price.
in case someone asks

This is a no-brainer if you never have been a member. I have never seen an incentive this good before. Usually it's like a $10 or $20 gift card at most for the Gold Star level.

Does a working SUMMER21 code indicate the promotion will be applied? My membership expired 12 months ago and they allowed me to apply the code before checkout.

You are a dumbass.
And I'm betting mask mandates at Costco will be back soon...most large retailers are going back to it starting this week (Walmart, Lowe's, Target, etc.)

Quote from WhatIsSlicking :
do you HAVE to have a VISA card?
I have discover/mastercard. can I sign up or I'm not qualified due to not having a VISA card?
It looks to get the auto renew to work you have to. I initially did a mastercard so my auto renew didn't get set up. I chatted with costco just now and they said if I add the auto renew today since I signed up today that I will get the promo. They also said there is no promo code to enter to get the promo. I saved the chat in case this doesn't actually happen.

Quote from ratbastard :
I didn't have time to read all the comments but some quick info for people on the fence about membership:

1. The quality of Kirkland Signature (Costco branded) items are top-notch. They rebrand many products by leading brands. The prices on these items is exceptional when it comes to value.
2. They only accept Visa cards in-store, but you can just use Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay instead. You can also use Discover for online purchases.
3. If you purchase tires, batteries, and/or eyeglasses, you'll save considerable money.
4. Online prices, even for members, can be higher than prices in-store, although online purchases often include S&H.
5. The Executive membership costs $60 more, but has 2% Cashback. To make up the difference, you'll have to spend $3000/year. However, if you get the Executive membership and DON'T spend enough to get at least $60 Cashback, Costco will refund the difference between your rebate and the extra $60 membership cost at customer service by request. For example, if you have an Executive membership but only get a $10 Cashback rebate, they'll refund the other $50.
6. Like others have stated, their rental car prices are significantly lower than anywhere else and include a free upgrade when available. I've paid for compact and gotten full-size during off-peak seasons.

No, I don't work there, although I often wish I did. Their employees get treated well, and they run a large business very efficiently. Their employee nametags tell you when they got hired, and I'm always amazed by their retention, especially in the retail industry.

I also have a Sam's Club membership, because I live close to one. However, Sam's Club doesn't have a large selection of the higher quality foods (organic, natural, and healthy). They carry mostly highly processed foods, although their meat selection is decent. I've also noticed that Sam's prices don't vary much from Walmart, as they are the same company, but they come in larger quantities. Their house brand, Member's Mark, is basically Equate from Walmart.
thats chiseling begging for a refund on membership

Costco promotion page does not say anything about a code. The promo should automatically apply to new members. For auto-renewal you just need to use a VISA card. Says this in fine print at checkout.

I did this last time too. They actually sent FOUR, yes FOUR $40 cash cards by mistake. Of course, only 1 of them worked. They also sent 3 coupons. All of which worked. Someone definitely got fired for that mistake.
I bet nobody even ever noticed.

Do you really think there's some poor slob sitting somewhere sifting through the applications and stuffing cards in envelopes before licking the stamps?

I remember when they had stacks of the $25 off $250 by the exit door, and no one took them. Once the holiday sales started, they disappeared...

You can shop at Costco with a Shop Card even if you're not a member. If you don't buy much to justify membership, you can have a friend with membership buy gift cards for you. I actually bought a bunch of gift cards before my membership expired a few years ago just for this purpose. I used one last week. If you go over the balance, you can pay the rest by Visa credit or debit.
I used to do this, but cashier need manager's override every time checkout. It is also hassle when some new cashier has no idea and deny checkout.

Wondering if it can be stacked with Dosh currently giving $20 for new membership. I believe you have to click through the app and continue from the phone to buy. But if the code shared here can be added, it may work! Will try for sure

Not likely since you now have been a member for a couple days. The rule for new member is 18 months without membership.
