So wait, the promotional value expires BEFORE the last day to purchase? How does that make any sense? What happens if you buy on August 31st?
It means, you won't get the cash cash after Aug 30

Do they have "scan and go" yet?
Quote from samgotit :
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.
"Scan and go" increases the chances of theft or just negligence where the customer forgets to scan something. That's why Costco doesn't do it. It's not because they're technologically inept. Sam's is willing to eat the costs because they're more desperate for business, but Costco doesn't have to stoop to that level.

I tried purchasing this using three different credit cards and two different browsers, and each time I get an email that says "Problem With Your Groupon Order" "Hi Guest User
Unfortunately, we were unable to process your order for Costco Gold Star Membership Package + $20 Digital Costco Shop Card. If you'd still like to buy this Groupon, please double-check your payment information, then try purchasing again."

Of course there's no information on what the exact problem is. They only link to their useless NAQ (Never Asked Questions) page.

I think the way this works is you have to purchase the Groupon offer by Aug 30 and have to redeem the offer at Costco by August 31.
Now that I got an order through, I see Costco membership is activated within 15 minutes of placing the order (for me anyway). I can go to a store any time to get the photo card.

Thanks,
That worked.
I didn't even remember that Google has one of my credit cards on file. ​
If you can't trust Alphabet, who can you trust?

Who cares. I don't have to stand in line like prodded cattle getting their growth hormones. And I have 1000 you have zero nada jack shit actual data on either company's theft numbers. Typical internet.

I got my membership number almost immediately also. I did forget that Costco is closed for more holidays than Sam's Club. I was planning on going to a different city on Monday and was going to swing by Costco while I was 5 minutes away. I wonder how long I can get away without having my picture taken since I already added my membership number to my Costco app account.

Who doesn't have a Costco membership by now?
after a decade I quit last spring and it's great. I never waited in the long lines to save $2 on a tank of gas. But its the only place i did surveillance drive-bys to see how full the parking lot is to see how terrible it might be inside. The crowds are terrible generally, any other store with that kind of back up would build a second location.

Sams is the same thing, but never the dread and loathing
