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.

Quote from roscolo :
Reading through comments, it looks like a lot (most?) people never get the Costco Shop Card when they purchase membership through Groupon. Which would not only make this deal not slick, but a scam. So, has anyone actually received the promised Shop Card? Or received the Promo Code with the Executive Membership?
Just checked my emails. I got this membership in Sept 2019 from Groupon and recall getting my gift card in the mail ($20 at the time). Spouse did as well 2 years ago but via email

Quote from NetiK :
The Executive membership deal is essentially paying you $20 to become a member (after using the $50 GC and $100 off $200 online order code). Can't get much better than being paid to become a member.
Fetch is offering 30K points on your exec membership purchase too

I purchased a similar deal via Groupon before but it was a $40 card. I made the groupon purchase on 12/29 and got the $40 card on 1/5. The $40 came from this email [email protected] with a subject line of "You just received a Costco Digital Shop Card". I would sugest anyone who did not get it to search their email.

Personally, I'm playing it safe and only getting the Gold. My wife was on the account in 2023. When I renewed in 2024, deal above, I did not add her. So she will be getting this deal with her email. Mine expired in February. If it doesn't work, I'm only out $65 and not the $130.

costco is becoming garbage - items OOS all the time and all these verifications - they gotta verify your face with the membership card when entering, you gotta scan the card before scanning your items, then you gotta show them your card sot hey can verify it matches the card you are paying with... its just bs.

Then don't go there. Pretty simple.
This is really unhelpful.
SD is a great place thanks to honest comments. Some company doing better or worse is relevant information and anecdotal experience.
although Costco doesnt give any free stuff or being super cheap, you still need to get too many verification hassles these days. In, checkout and out. All the way there are harassment happening like you are a f'in criminal. With technology you'd expect this to get less and less but for some reason it is increasing

Well didn't work for me.. When I followed up with rep on phone they said it's because I was linked on my spouse account which had expired about a year ago ( under 18 months)
Did it not let you sign up at all or did they reject you at the counter? It let me sign up for some reason

Got the membership, just didn't get the shop card which would make the membership discounted

If I added my husband's name online to my last membership but he never went in the store to get a card, is there a better chance of success in getting this deal? I ended up deleting his name from my account after a couple months when I realized he was never going to go on his own. Planning to use a different email and phone number when signing up.

You can get a refund on your membership at any time.
Just say you don't use it.

I use Costco online & I don't have a membership & it doesn't charge me more - & free shipping.

Does anyone else get a "Sorry, an unexpected error occurred while processing your order. Please try again in a few minutes." message from Groupon whenever they try to use it? I can't recall the last time I got a Groupon to work, no matter what method, credit card or email I use....
