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.

Liars!!! I used this promotion a year ago and never got the $40 gift card.

I don't fall into the trap again, they make any excuse and give you nothing.

Wow I'm screwed. I bought it for my mom who is currently my household and is going to be primary on this deal. What options can I do now or do I just lose out on $60? Wow

YMMV but my Costco just requested proof of address, and even took an Amazon order invoice as sufficient proof. So there is a decent amount of leeway you have when you present to Costco which address is your household

No. You will be fine. Change address online in Costco profile to something else. Anything. Take in your passport (no address on it). Or your moms. Then recharge address once cards are issued. Problem solved.

My mom and I live in different addresses now since I moved few months ago my ID stil has the old address. We both have the same address. Currently I'm the primary and she's secondary. On the Groupon deal she's primary. I can add myself after mine expires 8/31 as secondary. But wouldn't that fine print not allow her to be primary??

So... My membership expired literally right on March 31st... Would that still work, or is it specifically a membership that expired on March 30th or older, since it says prior to the 31st? I'm assuming I should be good, but just wanted to make sure.

Not the best deal. It's free membership (Gift card money back) or bust. I will never spend $250 in a trip there.

Costco is opening a location near me in about 6 months. Should I jump on this, or wait until there's actually a Costco near me?

In for one. Currently processing. Hoping it doesn't fail due to lack of supply.

I prefer Sam's Club since it has Scan/Go but this deal is too good to resist. I do like the free nitrogen air fill for your tires.
Wow strange thing happened to me. I come by hours later to check the "Processing" status of my order. I can no longer log into my account. I try to do a password reset. It tells me no account is associate with the email address. What? I know I haven't used my Groupon account in a long time but I was able to check my order history earlier today. It had my old orders.
I decided to create a new Groupon account using another email address (it wasn't letting me use my primary address, maybe some sort of backend system lockup). But I wanted to make sure I didn't get processed twice. Checked my paypal order status and it said it was cancelled. I also sent an email to customer support, asking what the hell happened.
But anyway I gave it another try with a new account and it's now in Processing status again. Will update when this is completed.

You are not alone! I had the exact same thing happen to me! I also hadn't used Groupon in years and paid with Paypal. I emailed them about it and provided info about the transaction from a Paypal email; no response yet. I did not try with a new account though. I will also update this post if I hear back from them.

My membership expired at the end of June, been out of membership for a month now. Lame that this won't apply. Guess I'll stay without Costco Membership even longer.
