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

If you look my earlier post(s), I ordered on 5/3.
Today (5/8) I received the email for the $40 Digital Shop Card from [email protected] !
Attachment 15440640
(As before I am blanking things.)
Clicking on Access Card Now at the bottom displays this page:

(Print My eGift Card prints this exact page.)
Some FAQ items, as I was not aware there were Digital Shop Cards.

Where this can be used:

Uh-oh, I see that one cannot use a Digital Shop Card at Food Court kiosks.
(I don't like using my Visa only for a $1.50 hot dog & Dew.)
Whew, the Digital Shop Card can be transferred to a physical Shop Card:

That will be the first thing I do next time I am in the store.
Plus the Digital Shop Card cannot be used at the gas pumps. (Physical Shop Cards apparently can. I will have to find out for sure.)
As with my other post(s), I hope this will be helpful for this and future Costco deals of this type.

Did you have to go into the store to get your card before they email you te digital giftcard? Thank you!

Took the Order Confirmation printout to Costco later in the day on 5/3 and they took a picture of my mug (ugh, and I thought driver license pictures were bad!) and created the membership card.
On 5/8 at 4:21 PM CDT I received the email for the Digital Shop Card. Thus 5/3 afternoon to 5/8 afternoon.
So yes, I went into Costco to "activate" my membership before I received the Digital Shop Card. I have no idea if that is a dependency, versus just ordering. Interesting thought though. But I did not want to wait once I received the Order Confirmation.
(Now here it gets complicated with my mangled memory. I think I was in Costco Thursday afternoon (5/2) where I wandered around for a while. Because there was a grand opening of a Cub grocery store in the same development, so possibly combined stops. Obviously couldn't buy anything, but confirmed things like a (physical) Shop Card can be used at their food kiosks.)
But wait, there's more! After I was "activated" on 5/3 I went literally across the street to Aldi. (Their 2% milk is 50 cents a gallon less than Costco.) The time on the Aldi receipt? 4:41 PM CDT. Hmmmm...
If I just went into Costco to get "activated" then right over to Aldi, that could be twenty minutes. But that seems short to me.
But if I wandered around after getting "activated" and before going to Aldi, way more the twenty minutes. At least an hour or more.
So it would be fascinating if I was "activated" 4:21 PM CDT on 5/3. But no way to prove it. I don't remember the exact time and there is no time, only a date in my membership info.
However, why chance things by waiting to activate? One can always cancel the membership and get a refund.
(While I am posting this, I might as well mention I had no problem converting my Digital Shop Card to a physical Shop Card at Costco. And the physical Shop Card can be used at their gas pumps.)

Costco is the worst when it comes to technology. They still can't be sure something's in stock when you check online.
It's 2024 and they're in 2004.
I tried not to be a Karen, but shared that I thought it was foolish a company would lose my business for $20 and then cancelled my membership.
