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.
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.
You wouldn't have qualified as a new member, anyway, if that helps you feel any better.

Just signed up for executive membership. Was going to add my mother as a cardholder but noticed that it says must present proof that they live in the same household. Anyway around this? Can she download the app and just pull up the membership card on that?

I was added on my Grandmothers membership as a second cardholder. No one ever asked for proof of my address or even asked for my address if that helps you any

I'm about to cancel my membership with Costco. they have gone to shit. most products they have are inferior garbage nowadays wrapped in pretty overpriced packaging
Exactly... Starting off $60-$100 in the hole to be able to buy $5 chickens. If I didn't have a free membership, i'd never go.

They offer such deals because paying to shop is a scam.

I too hate when businesses are doing well in midst of a global pandemic. Shame.
It's commonly known that they organize the store in a way that makes it easy to get distracted and wander. They are doing well, partially because of this. It could be more efficient. And we are well into the pandemic, reorganizing the layout of the store after hours, could have been easy. There would have been less cross traffic.

That being said, Costco is still the best.

I suppose the free membership second person in same household can't be a new member either?
I never put my husband as my secondary member, my membership expired over 6 months ago, yet it still detected him.

I love them both.

The selection and variety at Sam's clubs cannot be beat. The key is to buy name brands at Sam's, and store brands at Costco.

Sam's being backed by Walmart supply chain is a huge advantage.
Selection and variety, lmao.

Sams have whole pork belly, ribeye caps, packer brisket, Chilean sea bass & A5 wagyu deals? I suspect the difference is night and day...

Side note to anyone: when did you get 40$ cash card ? I just loaded up shopping and membership expired in Sept so don't plan to go back in until I receive the card. Thanks in advance.
