FYI - I went through the membership signup process a couple of times and ended up with going into limbo both times - costco system hung up. Signed up for a costco account and entered the process and it worked!

Your comment cannot be blank.

Featured Comments

If anyone is trying to decide between the regular and executive membership, just know/remember you need to spend $3000 in store or online annually (with a few exclusions) for the executive membership to pay for itself/recoup the extra cost. Every dollar after that is profit.

And I believe you can get a refund if you decide halfway through that you definitely won't make it, just in case.
Their scan and go app is phenomenal though. Hate standing in line at Costco like a sucker. Their TP and paper towels are still cheaper than HEB, and better quality too. Bottled water is cheaper as well, if you need bottled water.
FYI for anyone who bit on the $20 card offer last week - no price match on membership promotional offers. I tried on chat with a representative earlier.

What if a non primary member was added in household, can they be considered new member?

How soon do you get the digital $40? I just signed up for the first time and the promo discount showed .01 so I believe I did everything correct..

The bullets above say it will be emailed to you within 2 weeks.

Quote from BeautifulVest1304 :
Well, not necessarily.
You CAN use just a Gift Card to gain entry and buy as much as you want and pay the difference with a Credit Card or Cash. And you can use other services, like Pharmacy etc without a card. We get another member to buy a few gift cards for us, since we only go twice a year or so. Sometimes they'll push you to buy a membership, or slip you some side-eye, but it works just fine when you decline the arm twisting.

No one with a membership is doing that.

Will discover work? %5 back on gas this month, that'd add up.

They don't take Discover only Visa and Debit Card with Pin.

Quote from FeistyBreakfast428 :
Has anyone bought a Costco membership just for the online benefits? Is it worth it? Unfortunately there is no Costco nearby but I occasionally shop online.

Unless it says "Members Only" on the item, you can purchase items online for a small upcharge without a membership. Thats what we did for awhile before having a membership started to make sense for us.

I don't believe every purchase is included in that $3000 either. Gasoline is not included for example

Does anyone know what happens to returns bought from a canceled account ? Thinking of changing to my spouse

You can return it no problem. Idk why the other person said it's the manager's discretion. I've done it quite a few times, no problem, no manager involvement.

This. Sam's Club has modern tech, unlike Costco. Love being able to scan the gas pump with the app and just start filling up, too. Food court is better and I love being able to pay on the app and then just pick it up at the counter.

The problem with this deal is that it's going to result in my inevitable purchase of AirPods Pro (prefer Costco with the $10 for Apple Care). Decisions, decisions!

I just signed up and used my Visa branded bank debit card to pay for it. My bank already shows the transaction as authorized, I received an email from Costco saying it was confirmed and then another from them saying it was cancelled because of 1. Credit Card or Payment information; and/or 2. Billing and/or Shipping information. Not sure why.

Anyone?

Edit: called and did it over the phone and they think it was because bank doesn't have zip+4.

They will only be returnable with manager discretion at that point. I would make sure to handle that before transitioning.
go with original receipt and tell them to refund it to original card or get a store card.

It won't matter. They need the member there that purchased it with an account in good standing. A manager would need to over ride this.
