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

Can we turn off the auto-renewal after receiving the $40 shop card by logging to our account online?

Costco is notorious for not sending out coupons due to fine print. Make sure you understand the terms or you won't get anything.

Wait 24hrs after you spend the gift card, then do it.

Yes it does. The two are tied together and your membership charges to the card every year.
Ah..So after one year lapse, at the following year if and when I do get new Executive membership, I would have to apply for their Visa card again.

I assume they do hard credit check every time I get their Visa card, correct?

How long are the lines typically at the gas station and car wash? Here in SoCal, ARCO is only about 10 cents more per gallon than Costco gas. Not worth sitting in a 20 min line.

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
Here in SoCal, Costco gas is only 10 cents less than Arco per gallon. Let's say a fillip is 15 gallons. You save $1.50 but end up spending 1/3 of an hour waiting in a line. Is it worth being paid $4.50 per hour for your time? Not for mine.

In NJ no membership needed to gas up your car

Man, I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the meeting around a year from now when they see the ratio of Groupon groupies that signed up to how many get terminated from extreme gaming of returns Big Grin "Wasn't that SMITHERS' idea???"

Don't get me wrong, it's there, use it, but there's a line and Costco is really super reasonable.

There *IS* a 1:1 Venn diagram of my ex-wifes friends who aren't quite kicked out of Costco, but are on a watch list and are also on custom watchlist for smugglers . . . for not declaring 5lbs of beef jerky in their luggage. LMAO

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.
Agree. Costco let's you buy stuff without a membership though so to me it's worth it less to buy a membership (though it's basically free with this deal). I get nutrisystem guft cards and they're 80 bucks with membership, 85 without.

Thanks OP. Did use $5 off $25 Groupon in PayPal ( showed twice in PayPal account and got $10 off)
Was that in the PayPal app or on the PayPal web site? I am not finding any Groupon $$ offs on PayPal account.
