it can be used for renewal. Just bought it in my local Costco, and get the card and immediately used it at the membership service desk to renew my current membership.It seems that you can only use it to renew at the service desk, not online though
I just bought 2 and renewed online myself

Cannot be used as a regular shop card (unable to add to online account). Limit 3 per a sign in store and in the terms.Terms in store: To receive a Digital Costco Shop Card, you must have a valid email address. If you elect not to provide a valid email address a Digital Costco Shop Card will not be emailed. Valid only for members who purchase a Gift of Membership in select participating Costco locations. Limit three per member. Nontransferable and may not be combined with any other promotion. Members who purchase the Gift of membership will receive a digital shop card card by email within 2 weeks of purchase. Costco Shop Cards are not redeemable for cash, except as required by law. A Costco membership is $65 a year. An Executive Membership is an additional $65 upgrade fee a year. Each membership includes one free Household Card. May be subject to sales tax. Costco accepts all Visa® cards, as well as cash, checks, debit cards, EBT and Costco Shop Cards. Departments and product selection may vary. Valid at select U.S. Costco locations. Offer Expires: Jan. 31, 2026
So for executive card, do they count as 2 members and can buy six cards total and get six $30 shop cards? I'm wondering if I should buy more for next years renewal.

There is no item number. Each package is unique...they scan the gift membership card barcode so it becomes yours and cannot be returned.

Just go to your account -> renew membership. There is an option to renew using Costco GC or something like that. But u can only renew within 3 months of expiration i recall.

So people said this could be used to extend a membership but my membership doesn't expire until July so I called Costco and they said that there is no expiration and it could be redeemed at any time. Why not buy one each year and just continue to extend the membership for a discounted rate.... or buy several and stock up in case they don't offer it in the future?

Did you get 3 shop cards? I wasn't sure if they would give one for each or if they would limit one per account. Also, I'm pretty sure my local store sold out and didn't get anymore in.. even though it says it's good through Jan 31st. I'm not sure why they supposedly keep the offer going for so long if they don't keep them in stock. I should have bought them when I saw them right before Christmas. I couldn't find any mention of a shop card included if I bought a gifted membership online.

My membership expired 8 months ago. How can I get a new membership. I do have multiple email addresses and phone numbers but I have the same name obviously. I'm not paying full price because I mostly use Costco for online purchases like Uber and other gift cards and I read in the details you have to wait 16 months or something like that It's a very new. Has anyone tried the Groupon where there are membership expired but used a different method or email?
