Comes from Costco.
I got in on this deal. Then this week I saw Costco has the a Dyson Outsize vacuum for $439! I just paid $587 (including tax) at Amazon 2 weeks ago. So I just ordered the one from Costco for $439 PLUS it allowed me to apply the $45 shop card AND the "$40 coupon on a $250 purchase " so my total after tax cost was $382! That's $205 less than I paid on Amazon! So yes, I've already sent the one back to Amazon and my Costco one will be here Tuesday.

Btw: I called Amazon first to see if they would price match Costco and credit me the $110 difference but they wouldn't. But then I noticed I could use the $45 + $40 coupons so this was a big win!

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.
I purchased about 11 hours ago and am still waiting on mine.

Hey, I'm not able to verify the membership online. Website is asking some questions and I'm not able to get past that. So the website is asking me to go to store to verify. Will I get $45 gift card only if I verify at the store ? I purchased the membership through this deal on 2 days ago (Aug 4).

I don't know about improving revenue but I do see that after Covid started, I started seeing less and less stuff in the coupon books to the point where I lost interest. Now the only thing I like about them is the generous return policy and tires. They're more expensive for almost everything that sams club sells for the same products. They lose the return policy, I can't see myself going there anymore.

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.
It's been like that for years. AMEX wouldn't budge on their interchange fee so Costco got a better rate elsewhere and because they're such a large company, Costco has that type of pull to where they can pit credit card issuers against each other.

Yea, the closest store is 40 minutes from home, so it never appealed to me. But it's also somewhat near where I occasionally work, so I figured I'd try it out. I kind of remember Sam's being the same way about Visa and not MC, or vice versa.

My POV is that they were the ones to have a steady supply of merchandise as the pandemic dragged on, and were more reliable than my local grocery store. Now the logistical challenges have largely disappeared from other chains and makes less sense to shop at Costco. Sure, with an incentive like this, especially if you have a $250+ purchase planned, why not.

They are very behind Sam's Club on this front.
