Got on this last year and never got the promotional $20 credit/gift card. Customer service was no help through Costco or Groupon.

Also, my family prefer Sam's by a wide margin. Costco has a heap of praise from the Internet peeps, but was a disappointment overall.

To each their own tho.

Dang last year it was $60 and you got $45 gift card and a coupon for $50 off $250+. I just let mine renew as normal this year since I get like a 5% discount on my home and auto insurance for being a Costco member.
It was 40gc about 2 months ago

I have not shopped at BJ but have at Sams. The only thing that was great at my Sam's was their pizza... which was made how the employees thought it should be not a food cost fdicused manager. Icees were proper too. But their prices on everything else were the same or more than Walmart or Amazon or Aldi
Sams pizza is terrible. The cheese they use is always hard.

Looks like you can still buy a Costco Shop Card before your membership expires and use it after your membership expires.
I did this a few years ago, and the $500 card I bought lasted me over a year.

"Non-members as well as members may use Costco Shop Cards to shop at any Costco location in the U.S., Canada, or Puerto Rico, as well as online at Costco.com and Costco.ca."
That's right you don't have to be a member to use Costco cash cards. However I spend so much money at Costco it's worth getting the executive account since I net extra 2% cash back at the register even when using Cash Card. Even as a member I only use Costco cash cards at Costco since I get 3% cash back buying Costco cash cards at costco.com with my 3% b of a online shopping category cash back credit card which is better than the Costco credit card that only gives 2%.I if I don't get the $40 cash card within 2 weeks though I think I'll cancel membership and just have my mom buy me Costco cash cards to shop with as a non-member

Near my local Costco there's also a BJ's club and Sam's Club. Anyone have a preference for either of these others and why? Thanks.

I've had memberships to all three. Overall, I would rank them Costco first, then Sam's, then BJ's. The difference isn't as big as some make it out to be, though, and all of them have certain things that are better than the others.

Can you get the deal to activate an expired membership or truly only for new accounts?

No, they're stuck in the analog past. And self-checkout is a gravity sink for the slowest and dumbest of the slowest and dumbest.

I received a notice of renewal by mail with the increase. I renewed it with the old rate in the apps. I guess old rate applicable till Sept. 1, 2024. As one comment I read here states, if you're within 90 days of renewal. You can take advantage of it. I also was able pay w MC than Visa

If it's been expired for at least 18 months you can use the promo.
