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

If I purchase this now and I dont go into Costco until July to activate/redeem, what is the date of my membership? would it be today or July? I also understand it is recommended to start membership on the 1st of the month to get an extra month membership since Costco extends membership till the last day of the month, is this still the case? TIA
Thanks for asking! Your membership will start when you redeem your Digital gift of Membership at the nearest Costco warehouse. However, to qualify, you must redeem your voucher by July 10, 2022.

Quote from Lalaloopsy2 :
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!
It's only worth getting the executive if you spend more than $125 per month at costco AND pay with the Citi Costco Visa credit card. If you not planning on getting their credit card, then you have to spend around $250 per month to make it even out with the gold. It make no sense if people get the executive and not the Costco credit card with it. The pair together make it so much better. Cash back and perks. If you buy any electronics/appliances with a 1 year warranty, being an executive member, it will extended the manufacture warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Paying it with the Citi costco card will give it an extra 2 years of warranty from Citi. So that's 4 years total. And the 4% cash back from the credit card apply to any major gas station(shell, bp, chevron,Exxon,etc) not just costco gas.

Does the "one additional Household Card" really require the same address? No way for 2 family members with different addresses to use this?

My area's first Costco recently opened so newbie question here...

Do I have to use the VISA I want to use for auto-renewal when I purchase from Groupon? Or can I use any Groupon accepted payment method to get the voucher, and then present the VISA to use for renewal when I first get my card?

To qualify you must be a new member in the first year of membership or your membership (Primary and Household) should've expired prior to January 1, 2022. Thanks!

I hate these costco promo. I've never received them on my last 3 sign ups. Go to the store and they tell you they can't help because online and store are different. Call in and they give you excuses. Such bs

You have to run around the Costco building. It is timed, of course. You must do it in under 2 minutes.

Quote from catnipx07 :
Another data point. Did this last year and I received my $40 of $250 via email within 2 days. I received the $40 gift card in the mail about 5 weeks later. I recycled an old email I had used years prior with Costco, so it was about 3 years when my membership had expired prior to me using this deal. I plan on doing the same thing with an old email where my membership had expired 2 years ago. We'll see if it works. Also - if I understand the membership thing correctly, if you activate on July 1 (or before July 10), you have the month of July 2022 AND the entire month of July 2023 since the membership ends on the last day of your membership month (July 31, 2023 in this instance). If you activate on June 30, 2022...well, your membership ends on June 30, 2023.

So you got a new membership using a different email but have the same home address? My parents have me linked to their membership and it ends this month. I want to get the membership and attempt this deal by using a different email address.

I guess my question is "sign up" during the Groupon checkout process, or when I exchange the voucher for a card in the store?

Sams club is scan as you go. That trumps everything at costco. it saves too much time.
Everything? It's convenient, but Sam's food selection is mostly junk food and Costco has a better selection for new stuff.
