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.

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.
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.
Costco is partnered with Visa and Visa only.

Quote from GreyHome9892 :
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.

Are they still honoring the gift card over the phone transaction?

What if a non primary member was added in household, can they be considered new member?
My understanding is if you were ever added as a non-primary member in the past 18 mo, you are not considered a new member. Your name and address are in the Costco system.

Quote from DragonflyPunch :
Anyone know till when the deal is active? My membership expired Oct 31 2022. I believe Costco considers 18 month break as 'new' membership. Which means I ought to wait till 1st of next month. Wondering if this deal will still be valid.

Anyone know how long this deal is valid for? Will it be valid in May?

Quote from PetSpy :

that way you can buy the offer now, activated it may1 for the 13th month.
you'll get the $40 gift card code via email, just print it and bring it to the store
and the cashier can scan it at checkout to give you the credit on your purchases.

personally i don't trust doing anything directly with costco
their websites are way too antiquated to handle this right.
i don't recommend using costco online for purchases either.

Thanks I didn't know I could use the digital shop card in store. Will give this a try once I get it

Shop card is emailed to you like 2-3 weeks later...

Okay so that's why I didn't receive the $40 card right after signup. This needs to be pinned to the top

No one with a membership is doing that.
Of course not. If you read the post, you will notice that I quoted and was replying to a post that falsely said " If you are going to shop in store you will need a Costco membership card"

My wife and I are new members using this promotion and we got a cancellation notice as well. Log into your account and grab your current account number before it catches up and show as cancelled. Then call 1-800-774-2678 and explain you were trying to sign up for the promotion. They got us fixed up while on the phone but but the rep didn't have a reason on hand as to why it was cancelled. Your results may be different if you are using the same card that's on an existing membership, but worth a shot.

Which was replying to someone asking if they bought this, would they need to go in and get one. Context is key my friend.

No it will be active right away. Why do you need to wait until June 1st? It won't work if you have a Costco account that has been active in the last 18 months.
