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

If I'm a brand new member....do I just sign up for the membership first with the promo code and use visa? To setup auto renew I need a membership number...so do I need to wait till I get my costco number first?

Do I have to use the code "SUMMER21" to get the incentive ($40 Costco Shop Card + $40 Off Any Order of $250+)? If I don't use that code, then won't I qualify for the incentive? I am asking it because Chase (freedom unlimited and freedom flex) has an offer "Earn $10 back on your Costco membership purchase when you spend $60 or more". And, I wanted to get the benefit of this offer too.
I'm guessing you're fine to use the SUMMER21 code. Chase is going to see a $59.99 charge on the card. They're not going to see that Costco will send you a $40 Shop Card and a discount code for $40.

Yes, sign up with a Visa credit card, and use SUMMER21 discount code. When you enter a Visa card, you automatically get autorenew.
You'll know you did everything right when before you pay because you'll see a .01 discount on the membership fee. Fee should be $59.99 and it will say "SUMMER21 DISCOUNT .01".

I just did the promo and went to my local Costco for the first time - I hadn't been before. I was super impressed by the selection there, but I'm not sure I'll visit that often. The quality of the goods looked better than Sam's (did the last promo on here), but was also a bit more expensive accordingly. I'm still budgeting pretty hard due to COVID so Sam's is more my speed right now.

I will say that Costco services look pretty nifty, and I was surprised to see so much Asian and ethnic food there which might save you if you were a regular H Mart/99 Ranch Market shopper but YMMV on that.

I'm sure I'll use the membership at least a couple of times through Christmas as I could see myself doing some holiday food shopping there, all the grub looked awesome.

the summer21 code does not take off 0.01.

Anyone has the same issue? I have copied or typed the code.

I am secondary member on my sister account. I am using my address. Can my wife use the same address to sign up as primary and once my membership expire, I will join my wife account as secondary?

Will this work?

I am trying to sign up under my wife email but it says "error" without pointing out what the error is.

I entered SUMMER21 as the promo code and click apply code...it does nothing? no 1 cent off so the total is still $60. I tried fake codes and it also does nothing, no error message or anything. How do i get this to work?

When it comes time to renew your membership a year from now, keep this in mind (especially if you only go to Costco every few months):

• Memberships renewed within 2 months of their expiration dates will automatically expire 12 months from when they *expired* (so you could get as few as 10 months from the date you renewed).

• Memberships renewed more than 2 months after their expiration dates will automatically expire at the end of the month, 12 months from when they were *renewed*.

So you can get the most out of your membership by joining at the beginning of a month and using the gap between visits to prevent your renewal from being auto-backdated,

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.
Why would someone get fired for send one working $40 card and a couple extra coupons?

Just wondering, could it be possible that's why Costco deduct $ 0.01 from the membership fee to make it $59.99 when using this code, so those external offers (that require to spend $60. or more) cannot be combined?

Or, does anyone know if Chase rounds the $59.99 to 60 to give the $10 cashback?

Btw, the deal isn't really an exclusive as promo code OFFERS21 gives the same stuff. Tried to google where OFFERS21 originated from, it seems to be an actual COSTCO Black Friday that appears to be still active?


Quote from MyPorsche911 :
totally agree. it should have SOMETHING to link to Groupon, or the coupon code, or something. I mentioned the same thing to the Costco rep I was talking to. I was surprised when she mentioned it was a Groupon thing, because I was looking at a costco.com website listed below. (Oh, it does say "Summer Exclusive" on the costco page listed below, but zero instructions how to get it.)

Had the exact same issue, but also had the unfortunate outcome that one of my times trying to enter the code actually submitted my order...... For $60, not $59.99

Will try to get it worked out with Customer Service this morning.

Maybe try a different web browser (desktop/mobile) (Chrome/Edge)?
