You MUST pay with a VISA for this deal and you MUST enable autorenewal. Check your account after purchasing your membership and make sure to enable autorenewal, if it is not already enabled. You can always disable this later, after you receive your promotional gift card and coupon.
Your membership will expire next year, in the same month, on the last day of the month you started your membership. So, if you signed up on Sept 1 or Sept 30 of this year, your membership would end on Sept 30 2022, either way. Therefore, it is always advantageous to join as close to the beginning of a month as possible therefore getting essentially 13 months of membership for the price of 12.
This isn't specifically relevant to this deal, but, another thing to note regarding membership timing is that not having autorenewal enabled does not mean that Costco still won't get you. If you purchase a new membership within 2 months of when your membership old membership expired, Costco will backdate your new membership to the end date of your old membership, such that you will actually lose 2 months of the new ship you are purchasing. This isn't some secret sneaky policy either - It's right in the publicly posted membership agreement. They will move the start of your membership date to the date that you actually signed up if you complain, but you'll have to fight them for it.
A few important points from the terms that constantly came up the last time this deal was offered:
• The Shop (Gift) Card will be mailed 4 to 6 weeks after sign-up.
• The $40 off $250+ Costco.com coupon will be emailed 1-2 weeks after sign-up.
• Valid for NEW memberships only.
To qualify as a new member, an existing Costco membership must be EXPIRED at least 18 MONTHS or more.

the rule seemed to suggest Costco is not looking to lure back people who cancelled when the covid thing started

2 weeks later, they come out with a new deal for new member?
Also, Dosh has $20 CB for a Costco membership - executive only for in-store, but gold-star or Executive for online sign ups. Dosh does require a click-through and I'm not sure if that website will allow entry of the promo code. Plus, I didn't notice any confirmations on the last deal's thread that Dosh worked with this deal, so YMMV. It might still be worth giving it a shot for an extra $20.

anyway. its kinda odd to sign up during this period because one cant cash his points to cash until february the following yr.

Always have Costco gift cards ready just for this purpose!
I usually buy a bunch of $10 cards from friends to use without membership.
Can you explain what this means?
Beware that you may be being lied to, jerked around, and paying full price for membership. No deal at all (I ended up canceling and getting my $60 back out of principle)
Costco customer service is not the same as it used to be.
I am done with Costco. [The hotdogs were regularly undercooked anyway in Moore OK, BTW]. Sam's Club is just fine for me.
You've been warned.
