Anecdotal timeline report: Signed up 9/16/21. $40 off $250 email coupon code came 9/21/21 expires 11/13/21. $40 physical gift card came snail mail 9/29/21.

Your comment cannot be blank.

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.

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.

Thanks.... I just checked email again... Found $40 off coupon$250. Will wait for $40 gc. 😀

I registered on Oct 1, got the $40 off 250 code in email but still don't have the $40 shop card. Any one in the same boat? Shall i contact the customer service?
I signed up on Oct 1 and haven't received either. I contacted customer service chat, any they kind of brushed me off and said it could take 4-6 weeks for both. I did a primary member swap, where I have recently been a household member but not a primary for over 18 months. I'm kind of paranoid it isn't going to go through.

I did receive the $40 off code in email though, so i'm more afraid about their shop card lost was in delivery...

Just a data point for those still waiting on the coupon in the mail. I signed up on 9/16. Saw an email saying i did not sign up for auto renewal so i did that around 9/25. I just got the snail mail coupon around 10/22.

I still haven't received my $40 off $250. A few weeks ago, in chat a CSR told me it was being resent. Now I'm on chat and they don't know what I'm talking about and said "we have no way of emailing our members". That's odd -- I receive tons of Costco emails, many more than I want.
What a hassle for this coupon.

Been over a month and i didn't see my cash card or email coupon. Called them, they had to escalate it and came back to me a couple days later and said basically that since my wife had a membership she didnt renew that ended recently, eventhough I was not on it nor had I ever been a costco member before, my account was flagged to not get the promo. So I guess they are tracking by address and not just name now for "new customers"

And now that I received the 40/250 email the name of the sender they are using is "National Membership Digital" with subject line "$40 off your purchase of $250 or more....."
