Good write up but you should not be deducting the shop card from the cost, which is still 60 dollars and not 15.
People don't starve because they can't get into Costco
No you can't, only if your account is already expired before March 31, 2023

Have someone else signup (spouse, significant other) and put them as primary and yourself as secondary (domestic) and it will work. As long as the primary hasn't had a membership recently.

I am an existing member by myself,. Can my husband sign up as a new member? He is not a household member on my card. Do they check it by address?

Trust me. You don't need to show ID. Otherwise, people without ID would starve because they can't buy food.
These are the terms of the deal, direct from the page:

*After purchase you'll receive an email from Costco confirming your membership details. To pick up your membership card, stop by the membership counter at any Costco location and bring a copy of that email with your photo ID.*

So I guess if you only ever want to shop online, you could do it without ever stepping foot in store. But the day you decide you want to shop in store you will need to show ID or proof of address to get that card. They are super strict in showing your card and ID if photo is not on card now, problems with folks sharing membership cards I guess.

But buying everything from Costco online is way more expensive since almost everything is cheaper in store.

Umm, there is a big part of the country that doesn't have ID. How do you think they shop at Costco?
They don't.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank Giftcard

I Do Not Deal With Groupon anymore, as I have had my Initial Costco Membership stolen by I believe someone inside of Groupon (before I got a chance to download it) + I started getting additional charges on my Credit Card for Groupons. I had to go to the BBB to complain before they would fix what they (Groupon) did to me and my credit card. See the real people on Facebook that have had Groupon problems on the Facebook group @ Groupon Customers

Costco membership goes by calendar month so I think if you buy today then it'll exp 7/31/2024 (12mo) -- if you buy tomorrow in Aug then it should exp 8/31/2024 (~13mo)

It could sell out or end early if you want to take the risk

Will it work if P2 is already a secondary and they do this deal as a primary?

If you buy today does it get "activated" today or can you go get the physical card tomorrow and it'll be activated for next month?

The email sends you a membership number so I assume it's technically activated today?

It's actually against the law in my state for them to demand ID like that
Read the law more carefully, I bet it doesn't apply to "clubs". Costco is a private club, not open to the general public. Anyway, here's the terms and conditions for ID requirement.

" Members are required to present a valid photo identification issued by the United States, Puerto Rico, Canadian Federal, State, or Provincial governments or any valid passport to sign up for membership."
