If you elect not to enroll in auto renewal at the time of sign-up, incentives will not be emailed. Valid only for nonmembers for their first year of membership.

And I believe you can get a refund if you decide halfway through that you definitely won't make it, just in case.

Can the $40 gift card be used for Costco Gas?
I remember signing up for BJs for this reason - got membership for $25 + $25 card that could be used for gas. I'm still a Bjs member mainly due to cheaper gas + 10 cents off with Bjs card.
Now if I can use $40 for Costco gas I ay be enticed to join.
BTW I just joined SAMS club for $19 solely to purchase a 1UP Arcade cabinet - honed and BOOM the dang thing sold out. Really don't care to drive out to Sam's for groceries to gas. They used to have great sign up deals with coupons - free stuff. Not any more.
Just asking because my 18 months from previous membership expire at the end of April.
So If I get the membership now, I won't be considered a "new" member. But in May, I will be. Thanks in advance.

My gift card took about 7 days to arrive in my email.

I don't see a place for it on the first Gold Star Membership New Sign Up screen.
Without knowing with absolute certainty, I am unwilling to continue the sign up process after providing personal information.
Where exactly is the place to enter SLICK24? Maybe update the info at the beginning.
(I would prefer to go through Costco directly instead of StackSocial. The place where one gets [grey market volume] keys for Windows and Office. Which could be deactivated at any time by Micro$oft. And looking at comments, some don't get the $40 Costco gift card after signing up via StackSocial. So I am leery of them.)
Does this shop card expires within a certain number of days from membership purchase date?
I know BJS rewards expired in 30 days.

I don't want to get very far in the sign up process then discover there is no place for a promo code. After I entered a bunch of information.
(Because I have been burned by various free tax filing websites where I almost get to the end and then learn it isn't free. Some aspect of the return disqualified it for the free filing. E.g. HSA forms that were OK in the past. (Fortunately this year I learned ahead of time that the federally taxable MN COVID tax rebate disqualified the free filing website I used last year.) So I am a tad leery of signup processes without knowing everything.)
Update: It dawned on me to try entering enough obfuscated information to get past the first Gold Star Membership New Sign Up screen. That worked, but ended up on a Sign In screen. (Where one can also create an account.)
Makes sense I guess. But I am not creating a new account without knowing for certainty that there is:
(For my use case I cannot justify paying $60 a year to shop when most things I would be interested in are not cheaper. Gas is cheaper of course, but based on current prices I am not going to burn 428 gallons in a year to reach the break-even point. If I still filled up twice a month, maybe. Heck, 30 years ago I couldn't justify continuing my $25 a year membership at Sam's Club. They, back then and now, don't have gas pumps.)
Oh well...
