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.
Google Pay has $30 cash back for executive membership.

You should be able to double dip dosh and Google Pay offers.

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??
Other have suggested this. I also have a membership that ran out last month and will not qualify.
One thing to keep in mind, if you sign up under a "whole new account" anything you purchased before may not be returned under the new membership.

My plan is to just let my membership laps a few months the sign up again around the holidays. If they want to keep jacking the price up, I'll just subsidize it by not renewing for a few months, lowering my overall month to month cost.

Quote from JFalc :
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.
Sam's is the poor man's Costco in my opinion.

I just signed up under promo code OFFERS21 instead (got 1 cent off at check out).

Hope it works out the same.

Did you see if it requires an automatic VISA renewal? I haven't been a member in at least 10 years, but I don't have a VISA card.

you need way more than a new email.

pretty sure something like a new ID, new email, new phone number, and maybe even new address.

What happens if you sign up for this deal and Costco decides you're not a new member?

I'm interested in purchasing this for my brother who lost his Costco membership in the divorce. I know it's supposed to be 18 months for a new membership but I think it's only been about a year for him. Would they deny him a membership at the front desk?

You won't have a problem with the membership, they won't give you the coupons

It may be cheaper but sam's scan and go app is awesome for in store and gas purchases. Don't have to wait in line ever again.

Even a new adress is a pain. I bought my home 5 years eariler and when registering my card it kept asking me questions about the previous owner. It seems they gather personal info on the address, person, and family members. Where they lived, friends, cars, school, etc.

Just be very careful on the count when you scan and go. It is nortorious for double scanning "by mistake". Guess it is hoping you dont pay attention and it adds to you bill without actually giving you anything.
They employees know it, says it is a glitch yet to be fixed. But, it really does save time.

I used to play this game with my wife and only have one membership card, that way one of us would qualify as a new member.
I ultimately got the Costco credit card since I wanted the extended warranty on some bigger ticket items (tv, laptop, washer, dryer, fridge, etc).

Hypothetical question...if I cancel my existing membership (and have the wife sign up), does that mean I forfeit the extended warranty? What if I wanted to return something purchased with my membership, but the membership is no longer active?

Apologies if this was already addressed but does $40 off $250 work on gift cards? I have an upcoming Disney trip I'd like to fund with the cards.
