Don't forget to use Dosh ($20) and Google Pay ($30 on Executive) to stack on the savings.
Can you confirm that both actually work when purchasing this deal? Is there a Google Pay deal available for a standard Gold Star membership?

but he could always cancel and sign up as a new member using a different email like sams?

anyway. its kinda odd to sign up during this period because one cant cash his points to cash until february the following yr.
Exactly on point. Costco has thoroughly thought this out. You just need to be a little bit smarter than them to play this card or you'll lose. EEK!

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.
I hope this deal really goes until October. I want to sign up on the first to get membership though 10.31.22.

Costco has never had a Moore, Ok. location. I was skeptical about this comment anyway, but that part sealed it. Gtfoh. They have WAY better service than Sam's, where it seems to take an act of Congress to get them to refund your membership cost.

Just FYI. Here is the address of the new Costco. I drive by it every day.
2651 S Telephone Road, Moore OK 73160

Quote from ellemdee :
This is the best Costco new membership deal, IMO. No vouchers to redeem & no free items that you may or may not like. Just a gift/shop card that's essentially the same as cash. Gift cards can also be used at Costco gas pumps.

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.

BJ's used to do that backdating crap and got smacked for it [google.com].

Quote from ellemdee :
Last time this deal was offered, some SDer BofA cardholders had a BankAmeriDeals offer for Costco membership in their accounts, so it's worth checking, if you have a card. YMMV

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.

I posted in the other thread that I used basically the exact same promo a month or 2 ago to get a membership. Chase does have a $10/$60 membership deal, but at the time the way you knew the promo code worked for membership was that it took a penny off the fee, making it $59.99. Of course that's 1 penny shy of triggering the Chase deal.

So I suggest getting the Executive membership @ $120 which should trigger the Chase deal (if it applies to you YMMV) and also the $40 SC and $40/$250 (it took a couple weeks to get the $40 SC in the mail, but the online coupon just a few days). Costco's policy is that if the Executive level doesn't work out for you (e.g. your 2% doesn't beat the $60 fee increase), they will refund you the difference, so you don't really have anything to lose (the first year at least).

BUYER BEWARE: A similar promo was offered in early August. Many of us, including me, never got the $40 shop card or the coupon --- instead a $10 shop card. When we called, we were elevated to a supervisor and told we didn't qualify for the promo, even though we entered in all the correct info at the time of sign up and the landing page we signed up from (similarly) was ONLY for this deal.

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.
They got me too, don't really get the sweaty fanbois they have.

Man my membership expires at of this month.

So if I signed up for this under a new email and go in to apply in a month or so would Costco look it up and see I haven't been not a member for very long and disqualify me??
