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

Costco is like when I had a boil and corns at the same time. The doctor I saw was not good at either and send me to a tarot reader.

Quote from NervousGoat199 :
So it's okay to have used PayPal checkout to buy the Groupon deal, right? I ended up using a PayPal $5 off Groupon coupon which brought it to $55.

When you go in person to Costco to redeem the voucher, that's when you need your Visa to have on file with them to enroll for auto-renewal?
Yes, correct. When you go in-person to a warehouse to activate your membership, make sure you request to turn on the Auto-Renew feature and hand the membership clerk any VISA or DEBIT card to put on file for next year when it's time to renew your membership automatically. They'll input it in the mounted iPad by their computer and you should get both your $40 Digital Shop card and $40 of $250 Coupon via email within a few business days.

I wish they were anywhere close to being as efficient with my experience. Purchased Groupon Wed, May 25; redeemed in store Fri, Jun 3; had to set up my own renewal; still haven't received anything. Confused

No they do not. They scan random items. It's so fast and glorious! It's like having your feet rubbed with fine oils compare to costco where it's like walking barefoot through you're local animal welfare kennel.

Where I am, they scan all items. Even if they scan random items like you claim, you still go through one line for all customers which takes away all time savings. Not saying Scan and Go is bad, just not implemented right. Certainly not as "glorious" enough for me as it is for you.

No problem here even on the busiest holidays! Glorious Sam's is like having your own private island in space with its own atmosphere and a race track for your Mclaren and Givenchy stores at each end. Costco is like a renting the Home Depot truck in Modesto.

Haha thank you very much. It's my OCDness of things and making sure my SDers get all the correct answers for deals pertaining to Costco. Been there three years and pushed through the chaos of pandemic+warehouse craziness (toilet paper+sanitizer+PPE+water+canned goods mayhem, etc). I did give in my two weeks notice beginning of the month. Three years there. I think if we had better management team, I would have stayed. Employees were all burnt out, call-outs causing those who still come in to feel more stressed due to lack of staffing.. Too many dropping like flies.

Lots of respect for people working supermarkets and warehouse clubs during the pandemic. Retail work is hard and thankless enough but those places must have been particularly crazy stressful during that time. Good luck on whatever you do afterwards!

Thanks. All I can say is that retail warehouse is NOT for the thin-skinned. 😜 I'm now promoted to FT at my county's Social Services Agency (Food Stamps, Cash Assistance, Medicaid) and working on my refurbishing/reselling business (www.instagram.com/Device.ProShop).

Can I buy the groupon coupon with PayPal ? Only the membership need to be signed up with Visa card rt?
Thank you so much for your question! That's correct, you can use your preferred payment method to purchase this deal on the Groupon page. However, to receive the incentives, you must agree to auto-renewal of your Costco membership on a Visa credit or debit card at the time of sign-up. Hope this helps!
