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.

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.
Also, security check, full body search, intrusive questions, $5000 deposit, etc...

Does Costco let you "pause" your membership, in case you won't be able to use it for several months, like on extended trips abroad?

Or is this handled by canceling your membership and then renewing it when you're ready to resume shopping there?

If the latter, do you get a full or prorated refund, and if you do this more than once, do they frown on it?

Signed up and received new membership number right away. Logged in to old account and updated the membership information to reflect the new number. Logged-out, logged-in and everything looks good to go, exp. 6/30/26. Now hoping I don't overlook the gift card in my spam email or something.

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....
I had the same problem yesterday and Groupon chat is useless! Wasted an hour and half on this nonsense!

New member sign-up. I was waiting for this deal to come back. I've only been to Costco once with a family member, and that was last year. lol

Thanks OP.

Does anyone know if the $100 off $200 can be used on gift card purchases (Xbox, eShop, Door Dash)?

This is a nice deal. But at the Costcos near me (sf bay area) everything has gotten very expensive unless it is on sale. Like $9.99 for a bag of apples that local market charges $4.99 for, same brand same weight, same bag.

It used to be that you saved money by buying bulk, not so much anymore.

No, I have a P2 that will apply as a new member while letting my membership lapse.

Yes, I regularly get this with Groupon and never figured out why it happens.

This is very much YMMV. I hadn't been a Costco member for over two years and they did NOT honor the gift card. I asked Groupon to add a disclaimer and they said Costco needs to do it. I asked Costco to ensure do something about it and they said Groupon needed to do something about it.

Not a big deal since I'm not a Costco shopper. I was just looking for a specific item at the time. I won't be a Costco member ever again. I'm just a big fan of BJ's Wink

BJ's and Sam's respond the same way to memberships obtained via Groupon, etc. Your employer chose to sell these memberships through third party websites, so don't take it out on me. :/
