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 FairNest1755 :
I've been going back and forth out of the country for half of the last 2 years so it never made sense to renew my membership when I first started to leave the country. My family would buy me things but I found out Costco will not let me return without them present because I'm not a member. I want to get a membership but that really pissed me off.

To all the people that thumbed down my last comment, I hope this cheers you up. Since they wouldn't let me return an item without membership, I then would buy a membership, do the return, and then cancel my membership when I left the country for 6 months. I was abiding by their rules. got to return the item, and got my money back for the membership i wasnt using. 😁

Hello. I have samsclub for years. I live about 5 miles from one. Costco is about 20 miles and mid city traffic (5 vs 30 minute drive). Is that longer drive worth it ? Mainly use SC for some household items, occasional clothes, and frozen food. Family of 3.

I have both. I dont think costco is better always. There are things those r plus for sams. their price is better. And i love their new scan n go app feature, and being able to use any credit card..costco has nothing similar to scan n go..

Quote from Barmani :
I have a question, my membership expires next month, I got rewards check in the month of Feb/March and at this moment I have around $45 rewards. If I don't renew my membership will they send me the rewards check? How does it work?

So you got your reward check already in Feb/March or are you suppose to get a reward check for $45??

So when you have an executive membership, you get 2% cash back rewards when you make purchase at costco warehouse or online. They normally mail you that a month before your membership expires. If you redeem the rewards check and try to cancel membership for a refund or downgrade then they will subtract the rewards check from the $120 membership cost.

If you have a Citi Costco visa credit card, you get cash back rewards check from Citi bank that have to be redeem at costco. They mail that out in Feb. for everyone.

Edit: if you don't renew your membership, you are still owed your 2% cash back.

If you don't renew your membership, Costco will send Citi a notification to cancel your credit card because you must have a membership to have that credit card. Once that card is cancel then you lose any rewards accumulated before you get the check.

I think the last offer is supposed to give me a $10 shop card, that I redeemed in March,
If I haven't gotten my shop card, who do I chase after?

People here mention that Costco gives them the runaround and not care when they try to complain about the offer. But I think the one who is to go after is Groupon. They are issuing the gift card and coupon through email, so it has to be Groupon that is sending that. They verify your membership with Costco and then they send the coupon and digital card.

I had a membership that expired in 2021. My spouse has a current membership. I did not get a household card on spouse's membership. Do I qualify for sure even though we have the same address?

I joined today after buying the voucher. Clerk talked me into the credit card and said I'd get $50 from them if I signed up for Executive acct, so I did that too. I told the woman I needed auto renewal on the account, so I would qualify for a 'rebate' of $80 from Groupon.
Looking at my account info online, it looks like I'm not set for auto renew. Is there a way to check if I'm going to be considered eligible?
I suppose I could always use the account a few months, and then cancel if I don't see the $80.

Costco needs a week or so, to completely setup your online account.
I would encourage adding it to your calendar to check after 2 weeks and then take the call.
Auto renewal is default, from past experiences

Yes, I already got 1 check, accumulated another 45 from recent purchases. Have this account from couple of years. I only have executive membership, do not have Costco citi credit card.

Do not want to cancel my membership, I will let it expire in June.

So do they send another check after my membership expires?

yes I plan to do just this. I do not get extra household card they give and we just rotate membership to my wife and myself every other year.
