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.

I signed up on 10/1 with promo code applied, so far I haven't received anything. I did created account few months ago and shopped without any membership, and I just added a Visa card to enable auto renew few hours ago, after seeing your post. Am I good? Can I get these $40 promo gift cards by contacting Costco CS if i don't get them at all?

Bought my membership on 9/20 and received my $40 GC in the (snail) mail today. I haven't received the online coupon yet.

Edit: on chat with customer service now and they're going to resend it. It's not in my spam, deleted, or any other folder.

I tried to order a Mac Mini after joining but they wouldn't ship it to my work address which I used to have Costco ship to me as a non-member so I ended up cancelling the membership. They didn't even try to retain me. Weird approach to customer service if you ask me. I'm a Sam's Club and BJ's Wholesale Club member already so no major loss.

I signed up on 9/24. Still didn't receive $40 gift card or $40 off $250 coupon. Did you receive coupon in mail or email?

Email for $40 off $250 and snail mailed for $40 gc. I believe in the steps it said you had go sign up for auto renewal and use a visa to purchase did you do that? If so I would contact support it seems like most people got the email the same day as me.
