Costco support chat confirmed the code is valid and that you will receive a shop card, however because she didn't work in membership she wasn't able to see how much it was for (membership dept is closed at the moment). I also found this page: https://clarkdeals.com/deal/costc...embership/

Which states the same as the OP, but also gives an expiry date of Jan 1 2023.

It's under the payment window

"If you are purchasing this membership with a Visa card, you agree that your Costco membership fee will automatically renew at the membership price you've selected and be charged to your selected credit card annually on the first day of your renewal month until you choose a different form of payment or cancel your Costco membership. View additional terms and details.
If you are using a different form of payment, you can set up Auto Renew after the purchase."

Once you get shop card, immediately log back in and turn OFF auto renew. That flags system to send you out marketing communication (normally on monthly flyer) to renew with $20 off for 2024 via in store.

Quote from Powza :
The problem you described doesn't exist. 18 months are not enforced. Also, you can be creative and use something else instead of Driver License.

The membership lasts 13 months if you do it right. I usually skip 1 month between memberships - I stock up on everything on last day.

18 month was absolutely was enforced when I tried to sign up in the past. Couple years ago, I had signed up within the 18 months and when I got to the counter with my ID they refused to send me the coupons for all the freebies I was supposed to get on sign up and made me pay the full amount for my sign up and gave me no coupons for the free chicken, tp etc.

What did I do for 18 months with out a membership? I just went without and since it was c19 going on I cancelled my membership because they were no longer handing out samples so I decided I no longer wanted a membership and just shopped at wammies instead.

UPDATE:

I contacted customer service 877 number to follow up on my original call a few days ago where I had let them know my holiday22 groupon code for $45 cash card on exec membership plus auto pay wasn't working and lucked out and got someone (Jenny) who said she had the authority to give me my 45 dollars in the form of a discount back onto my card I paid with which she promptly did without any problem.

RAWWWWWWWWWWSOME! What a great christmas gift woooo hooo She also said my area has restarted sampling yay!

You spend $60 annual just for savings on gas?
Would you even save that much annually? Costco gas has LONG lines, limited hours and is only a few cents cheaper.
IF you join rewards programs of Exon/Shell/Marathon etc etc - you can get discounts on gas. Plus better quality, no lines, 24 hour flexibility etc etc.
Weekday evenings gas lines are not that long or so Sunday evening even better. In recession gas prices are crazy especially in california and so I don't need to explain the math. Membership pays out by itself and like I said without $45 gift card membership may not be worth for someone like you.

Guys, any update on the regular membership? Are you guys only receiving $10 shop card instead of $45? Have you tried contacting customer service via phone? Please keep us updated. Planning to buy the membership but only for $45 shop card and not for $10. Thanks in advance

Just got my $45 shop card as an email! Easy money!

I purchased the regular membership, and I didn't even use a Visa card for sign up, I used a MasterCard!

You don't want them to get business after they fooled you and others. I wish you would spare some of your time to call them and post their response here.
I ended up calling them yesterday after receiving only a $10 gift card (instead of $45) with the standard $60 membership signup. The rep I talked to on the Customer Service line couldn't answer the question of how much I should've received, nor could she even see what coupon code I entered (but she could tell I did enter a coupon code since it took the $0.01 off). She said she had to submit a form to look into it to their Marketing department, and I should hear back from them in about a day. I have yet to hear back from anyone today, but I just received a $45 shop card!

Just got my $45 gift card. Looks like few of them are getting $10 or $20 plus $45 gift card. No luck for me.

I opened my membership on Nov 2nd, and I received my $45 digital shop card today morning via email. That's a great way to end the week Smilie

The email was in Junk folder. Weird! Fortunately, I was able to locate it and retrieve the card!

Can you please share some details,
Whether you had Costco membership previously or how long ago it expired?
Did you use a different email address?
Whether used visa / master card?

This info might help others who want to signup.
