Idk they can't just lower the price to $20 like what Sam's Club does. Probably hoping most people just give up trying to get that $45 and Costco still gets their full membership price. I'm one of those that just didn't get it, except I ended up cancelling the membership instead of just accepting my fate. And just how incredibly almost impossible it is to take advantage of these "deals". Talk about a difference in how they treat customers.

My membership expired in November. If I fill out the form it directs me to sign in. Then it allows me to input the code and applies the one cent discount.
Then it says Buy Membership. It doesnt offer to Renew my Membership.
I guess if it doesnt work I can cancel.

Quote from DrRad :
Costco is great when you want to overpay for the same stuff as Walmart in bulk sizes. But hey, $1.50 hotdogs! Personally, BJs has better quality grocery items and membership is 80% cheaper. Costco must pay better affiliate money.
$5 for a 3 pound rotisserie chicken is way better than walmart or driving over 100 miles to the nearest BJ. BJ isn't even in half the states. a lot of regular priced stuff at costco is overpriced, but you can get decent deals on sale prices and some clearance deals. And a few things are just cheaper.

Interesting - any idea how long they have been that picky? I've had the credit card for a while (4-5% on cheap gas, and the extra 1% in store pays for the membership), but years ago, I would swap back and forth with my wife for both Sams and Costco signup deals. When the kids are out of the house, we'll probably stop Costco.

I used to be one of those that put Costco on a pedestal, but have grown tired of them not adapting and adopting technology.

Plus, the lack of true 'deals' these days, the long lines at checkout and to exit, the way they randomly stop carrying an item after you started relying on them (I have a large list).

I find Sams a lot easier to deal with, but they don't really seem interested in expanding their presence here in DFW.

If you aren't a new customer and still want to renew but make it slick, SPRING26 will save you exactly 0.01 dollars.

PSA - If you and your spouse typically shop together, drop them as an additional member so they can sign up for deals like this after the 18 month wait. And then you can alternate getting deals like this every other year.

don't they check the address to see if there's been a member there before?

The fine print states that you can't have been a member within 18 months. If your spouse is not an additional member, then they should qualify. If you have them as an additional member, then they wouldn't be eligible. That being said, several people reported not getting the $45 card for no apparent reason.

An earlier comment mentioned alternating Sam's and Costco sign up deals, which might be a good alternative if you don't have a preference between the two.

But I thought the promo can't be used if anyone has been a member at that address
