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 anyone confirm whether ID is required for person who signs up as the secondary? Thanks
Yes, a valid ID is required for the person who signs up as the secondary for verification purposes as the one additional Household Card is for anyone living at the same address and over the age of 16.

groupons support is worthless. I ordered about 30 hours ago and still have not received my email as stated with my purchase: "1. You will receive an email with a confirmation from Costco with the subject line: "Thank You for your New Costco Membership." Please allow up to two hours to receive your confirmation email. "

Groupon's support has given me the same guidance each time I engage them, with no real escalations taking place.

"Our chat volumes are unusually high today. I apologize for the wait and appreciate your patience.

Can you please check the spam folder of your inbox and confirm me once?

If you have not received i will check with the internal team and can get back to you via email."
Odd... Literally ordered at 10:13 am, and got my account ID at 10:16 am. Normally I'm the one with terrible luck.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We want to extend our sincerest apologies for the negative experience that you had with our Support Team.

You don't need to wait for the email in order to receive your membership card. You can simply visit Costco with your valid ID and Groupon purchase confirmation email. At this time, you won't need to take any additional action to receive your incentives.

What if a store visit isn't possible? Is there an alternative?

So, my previous membership ended on March 31st exactly, and the details say that a new member is considered as new if the membership was cancelled PRIOR to March 31st. I'm wondering if they will let it slide, seeing as it's just 1 day?

If helpful for others...I ordered this yesterday at about 1 PM ET, activated via Costco website about 30 minutes later, and received both discount codes today at about 6 PM ET. It also looks like the email address has been adjusted so that both come from true Costco email addresses (i.e., [email protected] and [email protected]). Check your "Promotions" section if using Gmail.

Customer support asked for my order details and billing address, and never replies back to after that. Now they cancelled my Costco membership that got delivered to me yesterday.

I ordered yesterday (Sunday, August 6th), and got the membership yesterday. I got the three codes today, though they came in two separate emails for me, about 30 minutes apart.

I have my membership straightened out. I never got the first email, but received the promo email today. I called customer service and they gave me my new membership number. Unfortunately, the golf clubs I planned on ordering are now sold out.

I keep getting this same thing, "unknown". Did you ever figure it out?

My hunch is that some of my personal data is 'stuck' in Costco system. I purchased the Groupon for a different household member, and it worked fine.

Umm, there is a big part of the country that doesn't have ID. How do you think they shop at Costco?
Um you mean 1%. That's not a big part of the country you silly person.

and, if you look at the demographics of people without identification they are generally not the types to shop at Costco (below the poverty line)
