Does costco ship everywhere in US? My city doesn't have one and I wonder if they would ship to my house but of course non-grocery things
Not to ALL addresses.......like mine. I live in the suburbs. I can't get things like TVs. etc and we don't have a local Costco. There is one an hour away.

Quote from KevinC19 :
Good write up but you should not be deducting the shop card from the cost, which is still 60 dollars and not 15.
That's almost as bad as when people factor in some random credit card discount into the deal, it's like "dude, not everyone has a new discover card."

A few years ago it seemed like every other deal post added the "double cashback in the first 12 months of being a discover card holder! That crap is better left in the comments.


I'm sure it's been said but, this membership starts as soon as you buy the groupon.

How long did it take to receive the membership email from Costco after ordering the Groupon?

It's been about 24 hours for me so far with nothing and I'm also having trouble actually logging in to Groupon's website.

Just chatted with the rep... Membership is activated on the day you receive the welcome mail from costco. You must have received $45 shop card mail the next day.
You can use PayPal on Groupon... I've been using Groupon for years I've had cards on there before but I mainly use PayPal now. And I got this deal last week activated it in store and got all the codes in less than 3 days.

Can you buy now and put off actually starting the membership by a couple of months? Or does it start right away?

Does the membership start from the day you activate it in store?

Can you put off activating it by a month or so?

It starts as soon as you buy it with the credential you put in, email/etc.

You can get a store card when you go in but the membership is already active online.

No way to defer? Like maybe buying it as a gift

Umm, there is a big part of the country that doesn't have ID. How do you think they shop at Costco?
Oh yes, the old myth that a big part of the country doesn't have/can't obtain IDs.

Thanks OP, we have a new store opening within two weeks and this beats all the new store deals that come in the mail (30 dollar digital GC, nothing else).

FYI, I got the membership because of this very deal. I went today and found out that the store does not accept American Express (AmEx). It's been a while since I've run into a retailer that still does this.

Also, the digital "member card" did not work at check out. They had to manually enter it in. I went to the membership desk to get it fixed, and they essentially had me go thru the application process again. Hard card was issued on the spot.

They say that only the hard card will work at their gas pumps, but I have yet to try.

Does the $45 shop card come from Costco or Groupon? It's been a week and I haven't received it. What's the email's subject line?
