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.

you wrote - "It's under the payment window" ( I don't see it using Chrome on P.C?)
Will I see "auto renew option" -- AFTER click "SUBMIT PAYMENT" button ?
- thanks
I dont see any auto renewal option in payment page. It says - If you are using a different form of payment, you can set up Auto Renew after the purchase.

Confirmed that I just received a $45 digital shop card via email today. I signed up online 11/13/22. So took ~5 days.

I used a Visa card and similarly saw the $0.01 discount at checkout.

Quote from hyunkim0716 :
FYI - make sure you are clear in the system before applying. They do a "through check" to make sure you are a new member. Went to the front desk.

New members - deactivated for more than 18 months.
Do you go to the store to request old membership deactivated from the system?

11-Nov(Friday): Signed up for Costco membership.
18-Nov(Friday): Received $45 Digital Shop Card in an email from [email protected].
  • Used "Holiday22" code at signup and saw the $0.01 discount applied.
  • Used Visa card and new email address during sign-up.
Additional Information on Digital Shop Card that might be useful:
  • As per Costco policy, you can transfer the Digital Shop Card to another person, simply forward the email to the new person.
  • Costco allows transferring of the balance from Digital Shop Card to Physical Shop Card; just need to visit the front desk at a local warehouse.

I just got off with a useless chat rep after wasting 30 minutes. I see that my price did not drop by a penny at time of order - wish I knew about that warning sign two weeks ago. I typed all they needed in a chat box, got shoved over to a useless "virtual assistant" - typed "agent" and had to wait in queue - said "agent" did not even have the original chat request which said everything she needed to know!

This is very annoying. A second chat will cost me more in time than the $45 savings I was promised. The website sucks and I did not appreciate switching from Mastercard to VISA to avoid problems only to have problems.

Also just got a $45 Digital Shop card today. Was not expecting one when I joined a week ago.

Used a Mastercard and did not even have to use auto renewal option.

Good Deal for those who got it. Applause

I hope Costco understands your situation and considers it as a glitch so that you get your Shop Card. Before making the payment when the price didn't drop by a penny it would have been better to stop and not place the order. Dealing with such issues afterward can be very difficult as getting a good customer representative is part of the luck.

as a follow up, I received the $10 shop card initially. I was disappointed. There is a new costco opened yesterday near me. I then got another $45 shop card a few days ago. So, I ended up getting $55 shop cards total. I wish they would have said I was getting 2 shop cards initially.
Same here. New Costco nearby. I got a 10$ on day 5. Day 6 after sign up 45$ gift card email arrived.

Just wanted to share a similar (but different) experience:

On Nov.12, I signed up online for the basic Costco membership using the HOLIDAY22 code, which discounted the cost to $59.99, but I completely forgot to do the auto-renewal at this point.

I figured I would have to work with their customer service in order to get the Shop Card, but I kept procrastinating on that, and the Digital Shop Card actually arrived via e-mail earlier today on Nov.18 without me having taken any other action

I signed up exactly 2 weeks ago. Since then, I've gone to Costco and got my membership card, went shopping. Still haven't received any email with a Digital Shop Card. Frown I had the subtracted 1 cent from the promo code and paid $59.99.

I did not see this one before... just signed up. Let's hope I get the 45$ card before the best deals are gone...
