Quote from RelaxedPenguin2752 :
In July I signed up for Costco 65$ I believe for the first time was promised a 20$ shop card , I'm still waiting! I've called the 1800 number , I've asked at customer service in store 2 locations. I have not got a straight answer why I have not received it. 1800 number said they will put a $20 card anyway on my account approx 2 months ago still waiting ! I've read somewhere Costco will refund your membership if unsatisfied I'm tempted to ask. I'm also Sam's club and honestly like it much better.
Yes, this is what I did many years back after wasting time over the course of the year trying to get the stupid gift card that was promised.
Wait until you're in the final month of your membership and politely say "I'd like a refund on the membership. I'm not satisfied with the manner in which Costco has failed to honor the signup incentive/promotion and the time I've spent over the course of the membership trying to get it resolved. As the membership is now about to expire and it's still not resolved after several promises that it would be, I have no choice but to seek a refund at this point"

They tried to see if they could issue me some sort of gift card on the spot but they couldn't and then just refunded the cost of the membership within a minute or so.

My membership expired about 20 month ago. Do I have to use new email to sign up as new member or renewing existing account is also eligible for the bonus card?

could you use the same email trick for Sam's new membership signup to this Costco one in order to get the discount? Or they screen the sign up process stricter over name/address etc.?
No they are extremely strict even with different phone/email. I even changed my address on my license and they still rejected me as new member after they scanned my license (maybe they are using license number).

Like others here, I never got my shop card either, YMMV but after multiple calls, emails, and months of follow up I said screw it.

I just purchased and I saw the "0.01" discount, which supposedly means it worked. I guess?
Same here. There's a 0.01 discount. Also, auto renewal needs to be checked Cross my fingers.

i'm amazed by all the people here complaining they didn't get their shop card.
they have not issued plastic in years, they send it to you as some emailed code
you either show as a picture on your cellphone screen or print and show the paper.
and just like plastic cards, you can't use it at self checkout (at least not at my location).

To get around that you can use a different ID, like passport, and obviously 2nd address, telephone number, and email.

You can pull this off if you have two different state ID/DL cards, two different emails and two different phone numbers. I was able to pull this off last year but YMMV depending on how sharp the employee at the membership counter is. LMAO

any chance they end the promo early when it says "or while promotion lasts"? Nothing in the march book interests me so I'd like to wait til April.

About to check out. The code shows in my cart but nothing referring to a $45 shop card.

Is the annual rewards counted towards COstco Gas as well? Or is it only for shopping at the warehouse?
