They are selling membership gift packets (shopping bag and certificate) in store for $65 with a $30 bonus card.
I suspect those gift memberships don't have the same "must be a new member" restrictions but I'm not certain.


edit: took a photo of the sign in store today with terms:

"*To recetive a Digital Costco Shop Card, you must have a vald email address. f you elect not to providk a valld emall address a Digital Costco Shop Card will not be emailed. Vaid only for members who purchase a 1Giftof Memnbership i in select participating Costcol locations Limit three per household. Nontransferable and may not be combined with any other promotion. Mernbers wto purchase the Gift of Membership will receive a Digital Costco Shop Card by email il within 2 weeks of sign-up. Costco Shop Cards are not redeemable for cash, except as required by law. Costco membership is $65 a year. An Executive Membership is an additional $65 upgrade fee a year. Each merber stip includes one free Hiousehold Carc May be subiject to sales tax. Costco accepts al isa? cards, as well as Cash, checks, debit/ATM cards, EBT and Costco Shop Cards. Departments and product selection may vary. Valid at select U.S. Costco locations"

I do not see any "new" requirement to get the $30 bonus. forgive the typos, I was lazy and used a photo to text capture

I'm a little confused. My last membership expired July 31 2024, am I eligible for this promotion before 12/31/2025?
Costco keeps track of people who had membership in the past. You are only consider a new member if your membership has expired for 18 months. Tried this in the past and was told about the 18 month part.

Quote from pamskid :
How do we use if our membership is about to end?
If you have someone on your account that's not the primary member. Remove them from your account, have them make a new account with the link. Cancel your account and get your money back. After you close your account, have your self added to the person who made the account. next day prefer and not the person who helped you cancel your account at the membership desk.
Make sure the person who's making the account has never been a primary account holder of Costco account in the past 18 months. Your account has to be over 18 months old to be consider a new member under Costco rules. Good Luck

Quote from carolin1995 :
Do you know if they are also selling executive membership at store for a deal?
unfortunately they are not selling executive membership cards. Only Gift of membership which is basically a $65 gift car but only for membership sign up. You can transfer the gift of membership to a shop card ( Costco gift cards ) if you ask them at the membership desk.
Technically you can guy 2, 1 with a bag and 1 with a hat. keep the goodies and give them the 2 cards - edited to added new info

Quote from positivepanda :
Will you get $40 card after the purchase or it should show at the check-out? Thx
Nothing about the $40 card showed at checkout. However, it lists NEWMBR25 on the cost and subtracts $.01. That is supposed to confirm acceptance of the promo code.

The fine print says the $40 card will be sent by e-mail in 2 weeks. (And you MUST have chosen auto renewal to get the card.)

Ok perfect. I did see $0.1 was substracted and I saw the terms later on. Thanks for the response.

Looks like this code (and the previous promos) don't work if your membership expired in 2021.
I'll have to bite the bullet and pay full price :|

Primary and add on should have been on same address to get add on in first place. How would they come off add on and create a new primary on same address? Would they allow two diff primary on same address? Asking since I'm not sure on how it works.

Right? These corpos just keep screwing over people who renew or already sub. Starting to really get tired. I won't jump through the hoops because Costco is pretty hardcore about their memberships and it's only 10 mins away. I had a problem with my phone not showing my membership after I logged in, I had to go to the service desk and they had to approve it. Yikes for the future this will only get worse.

FYI, there's a similar deal thru Groupon [groupon.com] (and "frugal" CB) where it just generated a new account using my same email.

My previous Costco account expired awhile ago, so YMMV.

But when I went to create a new account, it would not let me use my old email, had to use another email and the new membership number.

Need 18 months to be a "new" member, so need at least 3 people to rotate the memberships.
