Didn't the gold tier come with a $40 gift card in the past?

Here's a warning for those that was a member before regardless how long it has been expired. When you go to redeem, they would deny the deal and insist you to renew, so you will not be eligible for the gift card. For those want to try anyway, you've been warned.

Wasn't that through Stack Social last time? I signed back up with Costco and never received my "Shop Card" reward. I didn't bother pursuing it, but I will never order through Stack Social again.

You can change everything in online account. They can't charge if there's no card on file. Just remove the cared. I always sign up with auto renew and whatnot, never have been charged that.

I've been in this game for 10+ years. New membership every 13 months. Used to do it in 2-player mode, now switched to 3-player mode because they get stingy with 18 month lapse enforcement for bonus.
We shouldn't have to do that. They shouldn't be going behind the paying members back and charging for something they didn't consent to. That's something a shitty company does.

I'm not sure why your comment is being downvoted. It works, and the Costco shop card terms specifically allow it.

You know Costco is struggling and not Sams when Costco's sign up deals are much better than Sams have been in ages
Facts still matter in the real world.
In 2024, Costco's net sales reached $250 billion. A fourth Costco in my city is now under construction. We only have One Sam's Club.

Costco has some of the most extreme toxic cult members ever for a business and despises non-members being able to shop there, among other things.

Costco frequently sells $100 Instacart gift cards for $80. You can use these gift cards to order from Costco Same Day delivery (which is powered by Instacart). This ends up costing about the same as shopping in store, i.e. it counteracts the cost of delivery
Ok now that's slick! and you don't have to step foot in there. what a bonus

Well, it's a membership store, so yeah?
I'm honestly surprised they haven't closed the gift card loophole in the States. In Canada, you can only shop without a membership using a shop card twice a year, and the information is logged based on drivers license.

Just an fyi, there is a high chance the employee you deal with to get your card in-store will sign you up for auto-renew without telling you. And it will only show up on their side. It happened to me and a lot of others in the Costco Reddit. It clearly stated on my app and website that auto-renew was off. But only on their side it was on. I've had employees say that's what they're told to do. And also they will push you like hell to upgrade to executive.
Same thing happened to me on Sam's club seems they all colluding to force you to sign up for an extra yr without consent I called into cancel them because of that. Explaining I double checked that it was not renew and they renewed it without my permission

Tbh I've never heard of that happening at Sam's since probably the majority of people that sign up do it electronically, you never have to speak to someone to shop there. So I'm not sure who would set that up without it showing on your app or account, while Costco does have someone to interfere before you can actually shop

Nope. I got a nasty reality check this year and last year when I wasn't eligible for the shop card. Do not do this deal
Just signed up in the wife's name with the T-Mobile $30 Digital Card deal.
Mine expired last August, do they invalidate the shop card if the extra member was on the other account?

I suppose I could just go in and cancel for a refund if I don't get the Shop Card in a few weeks.

Not sure. Good question though. I will say, when I contacted Costco, they said they would not refund my membership since i already activated it. It cost me $60 to figure out I'll never fall for that crap again
