I did this a couple of times in the past. I never received the $40 Off $250 coupon.

I noticed is always activate your Costco membership in the beginning of the month to get the entire month. Something to remember.

Costco ends your membership at the end of the month regardless of when the membership was activated in that month.

I tried this once asking to create the new account under my name instead of my brother's. The employee totally ignored me and just renewed my brother's account. Never got the coupons or shop card

Quote from Vanquished :
No, 100% not worth the drive. Costco is better for tech and specific items but sams club just as good gas prices and prices on othernormal bulk items. Costco also let's you buy a lot of stuff without a membership by paying a fee
We have both memberships. I like to compare Sam's Club and Costco like this:

- If you want bulk items at a discount, go to Sam's
- If you want specialty items, unusual items, high-end products, go to Costco

Costco tends to have higher quality products that constantly rotate. Sam's carries more traditional products and has a more steady inventory.

Quote from fritzo :
My biggest recommendation for Costco is skip the Gold membership and get the Executive membership. It's $120, but you get 2% back on Costco purchases + 2-4% on purchases made with the Costco Visa that comes with it. If you only use the Costco card to buy their discounted gas, you can easily make a $200+ profit every year. The Costco points are cash back too- you can go to a register and they'll cash you out.

There's some other perks with the Executive membership too that may interest people (insurance discounts, car rental/lease/purchase discounts, etc).

Of course, this is only a good idea if you're within close range of a Costco. If you have to drive 30 miles to get to one it won't be worth it.
Does the Costco Visa expire if I do not renew my Costco Executive membership next year?

I honestly don't know how anyone does the gas. It is always 20 min wait to get gas here. You probably burn more gas idling waiting for your turn than any gas savings.

Over the last month or so, with gas prices skyrocketing, lines have been crazy at my local Costco as well. The lines back up into the regular parking lot so people can't even leave the store because the people waiting for gas block the aisles.

But, you don't need to let your car run while waiting in line. Pull up, shut it off, wait a few minutes. Repeat. Smilie

Costco gas lines are like Chick-fil-A lines: they look long, but they have so many pumps they go pretty quick. I've never had to wait more then 10 minutes or so, and I use premium gas so it's usually .30-.50 less a gallon. If you fill up in the morning on the way to work there's seldom any lines.

You can upgrade at any time, so if there's no term limits on the deal I'd imagine you could do this.

Ahhhh I see, okay! Thank you! Definitely leaning towards getting the Executive membership now since it seems to come with a lot of great perks. Totally did not realize just using their gas alone I could make back what I paid in membership fees and then some. Love the cash back feature as well. Thank you for breaking that down for me!

Yes it does. The two are tied together and your membership charges to the card every year.

I'm up in August, and actually signed up with the exact same deal last august (1st year) but through Costco direct. Got both promos no issue.

(Sorry, I'm sounding like a Costco shill, but I love the place LMAO)

Just to reference, my wife and I fill up once a week in both of our cars at Costco, we shop there every two weeks or so, and spend around $200-$300 a month in the store (maybe more during Christmas/Thanksgiving), plus a big ticket item or two thrown in.

Our rewards from the Citi Visa and the membership were $422 last year.
