I agree, my local Costco is notorious that even if you're not a member for 18 months, they said my info is still exists in their computer and refused to honor any discounted membership and also once said I can't join a family member living in the same address because my relatives last name is different from mine. My local Costco enforces their own crazy rules and I told them to kiss my back and went to local Sam's which is very friendly and also as a premier member get to enjoy unlimited order online and have curbside pickup without going to the club, which is really useful during winter months.
I never received the Costco GC on the last deal. Not sure of the % of people who did.
Received mine about 4 days later via email.
You've received a Costco Digital Shop Card was the title in the email came from Costco directly. Picked up my card 3 days before. Never been a Costco customer before nor anyone else from my address

I bought it but can't get the code to work even though my membership expired September 2021, which by my count was 19 months ago. Was hoping to use the $30 on the new Zelda
May be a stupid question, but I've been the secondary member for my household, would I qualify as a new member or does that 18 month rule count for me as well? Thanks
Costco is very strict and associate member counts as old member.
the one rule that usually disqualifies me from getting a discounted Costco membership is that it regularly requires automatic renewal with a Visa card, which I don't have. I don't see that requirement here.
In the future, I assume you could meet this requirement by purchasing a prepaid Visa card with a high enough balance to cover the membership fee. Then, use that card for the initial auto renewal registration, regardless of the balance remaining, since you can turn off auto renewal once you get the promo card/items, anyway.
This is tempting deal. I have access to my family's executive membership to order online but not my own card so I can't go in and enter by myself. If I did I'd probably eat their food court menu items several times a week, good for the wallet and meals, not so much my waistline
I did this last year with Groupon. I had expired for over 3 years but Costco just renewed my old membership and I never received the digital gift card.
I've had 5 active memberships simultaneously from the ps5 days, all full price though. You just have to jigg your addy a little. But for a physical card, I only had two of them simultaneously for in store needs.
Sam's Club on the other hand, you could technically have dozens of active memberships, and get them all from social stack for a Groupon for $20 each.
I know someone that had 40 active memberships from my group
What's the benefit to having multiple memberships?
Unlike sam's, Costco registers your driver licence. You can't swap emails and credit cards to dodge the 18 month new customer requirement.
Has anyone ever had a recently expired Costco membership and then moved to a new state (new driver's license) and then sign up for new membership with a promo?

This is probably the best/only deal on a membership this year
