Community Reviews
This BJ's renewal deal is a very cheap way to reactivate an expired membership, with the best results coming from the posted renewal link after signing in first. The $5 price often shows up correctly even when the promo code fails, and some accounts can be renewed through chat or on a phone or computer browser. The main catch is eligibility, since current members, active accounts, and some long expired accounts may be pushed to a $20 Plus upgrade or blocked entirely. Auto renew can also turn back on, so it is worth checking the renewal settings afterward.
The renewal link can load the $5 offer after login, letting expired accounts renew successfully online.
The $5 renewal can update the membership expiration date correctly after payment, including cases where the code entry failed.
Chat support can sometimes apply the $5 renewal or switch an upgrade to the regular membership for $5.
The renewal process can work on mobile when the app or direct promo flow fails, using the provided web link instead.
Promo code entry can fail with an error like "promo code has not been applied," requiring the correct renewal link method.
The renewal offer can behave differently depending on account status, including cases where it upgrades Club+ for $20 instead of renewing for $5.
The renewal page can show a blank screen or fail unless opened in a private browser or accessed through the proper renewal flow.
Auto-renewal can start after purchase and may charge a $60 annual renewal fee unless cancellation is handled before the renewal date.

There are several things we detest about Costco - often snotty employees (they usually push across your path rather than deferring to the customer, as an example. It's clear they feel their employment is for life), crappy app, Costco.com (really a different company), and buyers who will sacrifice a vendor for a few pennies. But the fact remains, we spend the most there. And they sell Top Tier gas, pretty much required if you have very common GDI ("Direct Injection") engine vehicles.
Sams has the best app by far of the three - Scan & Go is amazing, as well as the automatic exit arches (you have to use a shopping cart for it to work). But we buy very little at Sams - they've dropped a lot of the stuff we used to buy. And their gas lines, no matter how short, are SLOW, at least around us. One big plus - when they clear out old inventory, they don't mess around - heavy discounts.
BJs has more choices in many grocery categories, but their general merchandise tends toward crappy. You have to live in their "digital coupon hell" to make their prices competitive and sometimes the coupon values are really solid. (I should mention we live in a highly competitive grocery market.) But there are stretches where the coupons are useless for what we buy. We've found their Corporate Customer Service to be mediocre - the fact we know this about BJs and can't really comment about the other two speaks volumes. We laughed out loud when BJs raised their annual fee to $60. The only time we renew is when they offer $25 or less. One key thing about the BJs around us - our closest one is really mediocre - the other further away locations are better. All of them around us were cleared land, ground up new builds.
After repeatedly trying all of the helpful tricks others have posted with no success, I decided to reach out to their support team. I just got off of a looong chat with with a CSR and, even though I have periodically been a member in the past, they have no record it. The poor agent searched by my name, email address, phone number(s), home address, and even my old membership number after I unearthed a membership card from when I joined in 2019. 😅
It seems that I have completely disappeared from their database. Apparently, I am 💀 to them (even though I was getting the pop-up saying I wasn't eligible for the promotion since I'm a current member -- which I'm not).
So, since in their system I have no "past" expired membership, I cannot renew it.
Go figure! 😄
Hopefully, it's just me and others won't be rejected similarly.
(Note: My past membership was from a Groupon voucher, but the agent didn't suggest that this was the issue. And, it was clearly actively used at the time.)

"Your One Day Pass Has Expired
Purchase your BJ's Membership to continue to access great savings."
But this renewal offer page says "As a current member, you're not yet eligible for this offer."
Here's what is says under 'My Membership' website page: Your BJ's Membership will automatically renew on 11/01/2026.
A fee of $60 (plus applicable tax) for annual renewal of all memberships on your account will be charged to your default payment method below. If we cannot successfully charge your renewal fee on our initial billing attempt, for your convenience we will make additional attempts using any payment method(s) we have on record for your membership.
