Good write up but you should not be deducting the shop card from the cost, which is still 60 dollars and not 15.

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.

Quote from Dtran2009 :
Uhhh no it's not. Merchants have the right to ask for ID to make sure the card belong to the person. Merchants can make their own rules since it's their store. You can refuse but merchant can also refuse to sell as well.
Merchants must abide by the VISA/Mastercard/etc rules.

VISA Rule 1.5.5.3 Cardholder Identification
Unless specified in the Visa Rules, a Merchant must not request Cardholder identification as a
condition of purchase.

In the AP Region, Canada Region, CEMEA Region, LAC Region, US Region: A Merchant that suspects fraud in a Face-to-Face Environment may request Cardholder identification. If the identification is expired or does not match the name on the Card, or if the Cardholder does not provide identification, the Merchant may decide whether to accept the Card.

Quote from PotOdds :
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.
Same here, I got my order cancelled for the first time, and reordered with a different credit card. The order went through and I got my Costco member ID in the midnight, but when I try to log into my Groupon account next morning and they're telling me it's gone.

Asking customer support now will will try update when I got a reply.

I have a small amount of Groupon Bucks in my account (not anywhere close to the full $60).
Is it possible to apply Groupon Bucks to buy this deal? Perhaps it's not allowed for this deal?

Anyone know?
Thanks in advance, everyone.

LMFAO

Haven't been on Groupon in years. Didn't realize i even had an acct there.

Logged in and i had about $97 in Groupon Credits. (Must have been credits from previously unused vouchers)

Bought this Costco membership and a VIP 60 min massage without paying a single penny

Awesome!
Oh Ok. I would infer from this comment that is IS possible to use groupon bucks for this deal. I just inquired about about this 3 mins ago and hadn't seen this.

Anyone with experience know if you can use both the 45$ shop card and the 40$ off $250 promotions together in one purchase?

Anyone couldn't verify membership with online account( I can add the membership number but couldn't verify it)? It asks me to go to the store.
This is what I'm afraid of. I have no COSTCO anywhere near me. It seems getting membership requires that you go to a store?

What's a better option, get my own membership at this price or add on Instacart +membership to my family executive membership for $79? Personally I do grocery orders once or twice a month for mainly frozen meats, bread, milk, veggies, fruit, etc. is saving that extra 5% off or so with sameday/Instacart plus cheaper prices than with just basic sameday service worth it?

For anyone who did get this on 7/31, if you choose to upgrade to the Executive membership, it will be $5 less if you upgrade on 8/1 or later. Just upgraded today in warehouse when I got my card and was only charged $55.
