Been swapping for years. Basically just switch between parties at same location via different emails and can even use different CCs if you wish. Doesn't matter even if other party is second, just can't go primary party to primary party w/o it being a renewal or breaking the listed rules. Same applies to Sam's Club.
It can make it messy, but as long as you keep proof of the membership number it was purchased under, never been a problem. They don't say can't return just because your membership is expired and don't have to have a current one to return stuff. Pro tip: Take pictures of reciepts as they often fade and while it isn't a big deal if bought under current membership, it makes it difficult if you do get new number every 12-18 months.

I didn't make it up, just what it says.

Or if you keep reading it says:

Can confirm that the 18 months lapse of membership does not work with this promo for me either. I left a message for the stacksocial customer support that they need to remove the 18 month disclaimer if it no longer applies (my membership lapsed 4 years ago and Im signed up on the visa autopay according to the directions, however promo code does not work). Also am hoping to get a refund. Posting my experience to save those who are reading the comments time and frustration.
Were you able to get a refund? It doesn't look like lapsed members are eligible for the $40 shop card, only new members:

To receive a Digital Costco Shop Card, you must provide a valid email address at the time of sign-up.
Valid only for nonmembers for their first year of membership.
New members will receive their Digital Costco Shop Card by email within 2 weeks of sign-up.
You can just have a friend or family member buy you a stash of Costco cash cards (store gift cards) and you will be able to get into the store, make purchases, and even make returns without having a membership. I have been doing it for years and saved a lot of money on membership fees. The cash card even works at their gas pumps.
Tell me more. 1. how does it work at the counter since it asks for membership card at the start? 2. say I have $100 worth of cash card and want to buy something worth $125, how does that work?
I've tried a few times to use the code at online checkout, and it keeps saying "Sorry, we are experiencing technical issues. Please try again later." Is anyone else having this problem?

Are you saying they do not care if your membership is expired, and you can still return stuff you bought when you membership was valid?
Or you just gotta be an active member (secondary member at minimum), at the time of return processing as well?
Thanks.
