Looks like August is the month that brings membership promotion offer from Costco. New members can sign in for a new account by paying $60 for Gold Star membership, and $120 for Executive membership. Promo shop card of $40 will be mailed around a month from sign-up, and $40 off $250+ code will be sent via an email.

Perhaps, your membership need to have expired 18+ months, in order to be considered as a new member. The promotion appears to have started yesterday, and is valid till 22nd of this month
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

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.

I did it last time. I got the $40 cash card. But I never received that $40 off $250 coupon by email or mail.

They've denied me in the past for being a member 10 years before. Depends on who you get I guess.

I don't have a Costco anywhere near me but occasionally I see online deals I'm interested in. Seems like this would be a good way to be able to buy online without the penalty?
