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.

I have not been able to get the shop card twice out of the last 4 tries (even waiting the 18months). They require your drivers license when they give you a membership card. After you buy it through Groupon you have to get your card from Costco and the only way to get a refund is from Costco at that point in store.

They once redeemed my code and added the time to my spouse's account instead of letting me get my own because I was a household card holder. I couldn't get a refund because of that and they wouldn't give me a shop card so I ended up disputing it with Discover and getting my money back and the membership never got cancelled. I tried again after the 18 months period, but because once again I was a person on the household card they deemed me not eligible for the shop card after they redeem it for a membership. I tried to dispute it with Capital One this time and they don't side with the customer so I basically just bought a full price regular membership and kept it.

I'm not going to cancel my membership or get on Costco's bad side. They will ban you for life if you refund too much or try and cancel and re up your membership. The more you do it the more at risk you are. The only way I was successful once was when I moved to another state and my ID had nothing relating to previous address. I also made sure to use a new email because they store those forever and will link you back to it. MAYBE if you don't add your spouse or you delete them as the second card holder before they get their own you might make it work. The 18 month rule is strict!

I use executive member to get 2% cash back. Since my family spend $500 monthly or more we get $200+ cash back at the end of the year.

Yes, as long as you use a new e-mail for the primary membership holder.
Has this been confirmed? Sounds like they check IDs at the front desk and may not honor this.

Anyone know how they identify you? I've got an executive membership about to expire. I'm also changing addresses in a few weeks. So is it by email? mailing address? other?

I have done this with my parents. I had mother as a secondary member for my membership one year, then her as primary and me secondary next year. They don't care. You just need to provide a different e-mail for each membership #.

Nah.. New email doesn't work, I had same issue last year, the Costco system is able to recognize that you had membership in the past. It will work for spouse only if they were never on your account

The Costco website is showing my membership
Expired 2024 July. My actual expiration date was 2023 July.
I pulled the trigger too fast. Now, I am worried.
How can I get a refund?
