If you buy it now, then your membership will start immediately and membership will be valid until the May 31, 2026 but if you buy it on June 1, then you will have your membership until June 30, 2026.
So its better to buy it on June 1 provided the deal is still active.

Gas purchase does not give 2% back, if you are referring to that

When the promotional Shop Card E-card never gets credited to your account, Costco will have nothing to do with helping you realize this sign-on benefit that you are entitled to. They will tell you to work out the matter with Groupon, and your success may vary with working it out with Groupon in this regard. They might give you a consolation prize of 20% off your next Groupon purchase, or they might make you whole according to the terms that were agreed upon.
The fact of the matter is that Costco is actively hostile to those that sign up for Costco memberships from third party membership offers like Groupon. I am stating this based upon my own personal experience and the knowledge of others' experience to those who might sign up for this offer thinking that everything will be "automatic" and won't involve any possible hassle.

If you add a Costco number to your Instacart membership, it'll knock $20 off your yearly renewal rate. This is a no-brainer for me.

Quote from ketamine :
Why don't you check that yourself? Nobody knows what kind of coupon you got and if that works on this deal or doesn't.
It's been so long I can't login, I don't know if I wanna go through the hoops right now. Not even sure I need the Costco membership, looking for extra reasons to go for it.

What about this executive membership, No harm to get if it's such a better deal? Except that you have to pay more out initially and I guess better do everything before coupons expire etc. could one get like an iPad online with the extra coupons for a great price? how much higher is the online price for things like iPads? Usually

This is interesting. I had costco for a year a while back which I only got for a discount on a TV.

We didn't end up using it might but... It's still a nice to have.. so I'm tempted.

But I need to have a $200 order earmarked for this to make sense, I think. Any suggestions?

Instacart is $19.99/year if you just let your account sit unused for a while - they keep offering it
or just have multiple rotating accounts - they always draw me back in with a bunch of $40 off $80
it makes no sense to pay $100/year for it especially since Costco no longer sells discounted Instacart gift cards

That I get, I cannot renew. My P2 would sign up instead of myself.

I did exactly this. I was on my parents account and I opened my own using a groupon deal for $20 shop card. Never got the shop card. However, I had an online account while I was on my parents and stupid me used the same email for a new account. So if you use a brand new email, I think it may work.

Is there any risk to cancelling after 364 days? Like how some credit cards have reduced AFs for the first year but you have to make 1 full payment after a year before product changing. If not, executive membership seems like a no brainer

Yes, as long as you use a new e-mail for the primary membership holder.

Agreed. This is what we did when first signing up. It was a gateway deal for me. Got hooked.

Might depend on the person checking they check the address on your ID and if it's the same person. They wont let you. Thats what happened to me.
