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.

can you spend the 45$ card towards the 40$ off 250$ online order? So 165$ for a 250$ order?

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.
Wow same exact thing here to. What a mess this site is.

Same thing happened to me. I haven't purchased a Groupon in a while and I used Paypal. I never got an email from Groupon or Costco, and now my account doesn't exist. I did get an email from Paypal saying I authorized a payment to Groupon, but that transactions showed cancelled as well. So strange.

Yes -- you can combine

$40 off is a coupon code -- $45 is a gift card which you can use as partial payment

My membership expired on march 31st, 2023. Am I eligible for this offer? It seems the offer seems to say "valid only if membership expired prior to march 31!?"

I hope they don't make a fuss about 1 day, because there memberships always expire at end of month!

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.
My membership expired last October and surprisingly the card still works

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.
Same here. Let me know, if you are able to get it to work.

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.
Exactly same thing happened to me. I ordered again from other account and it's processing as of now.

Costco is a business. They aren't going to turn away millions of people that don't carry ID.
Millions of people w/no ID are walking to Costco and carrying all their stuff home in packaging boxes. Yeah, sounds reasonable.

Hi ,

I can understand your concern.

I apologize for the inconvenience caused.

I'll need some more information to get to the bottom of this issue. Could you please provide as much of the following as possible? The more you have, the easier it will be for us to resolve this for you.

• The order confirmation number
• The voucher Redemption Code
• Any alternate email addresses that may have been used to make the purchase
• The amount of the charge(s)
• The date of charge(s)

If the charges are on a credit/debit account, please provide the following information:

• The name on the card that was charged
• The type of card (Visa, MC, AmEx, etc.)
• The last 4 digits of the card
• The expiration date on card
• The billing address associated with the card

If the charges are on a PayPal account, please provide:

• The PayPal invoice ID reflecting the charge—Example: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx (this ID will be alphanumeric)
• The email address registered to the PayPal account

Thanks for your help and I look forward to assisting you further.

Best use I can think of is cheap insurance for big ticket items. Now that the logisitical nightmare durign the pandemic has ended, I can find virtually all items from Costco elsewhere, more conveniently, and at similar prices. I don't understand those who want to sign up their other household members, for a very small potential gain on a later purchase.
