This Costco Gold Star offer pairs a one-year membership with a digital shop card that can be used online or scanned in store. The promo code GOLDEN appears to work for some signups, and the card has arrived in about one to two weeks for several accounts, though some checkouts show the code as invalid or require switching browsers. The main friction is Costco's auto-renew setup and cancellation process, which can be hard to manage online and may require an in-store visit. It is a useful deal if you can clear the signup hurdles and want the shop card more than a simple discount.
Common Questions (5)
The code can fail for accounts that are outside the eligibility window or when the checkout flow glitches. Switching browsers has worked for some signups, and Costco support has also said they can retroactively activate the promo after signup if the code shows invalid.
At checkout, the code should turn green and trigger a promo dialog confirming the offer. If it shows as applied but the value is $0.00, Costco support can still retroactively activate it and confirm the $50 Shop Card should arrive within about 2 weeks.
Cancellation is reported to require an in-store visit only, even though the website and phone support may route you around. One report says you can cancel right up to a day before annual expiration, but not online.
The promo is tied to the membership offer, not the tier, but the checkout prompt may appear more reliably on the regular membership flow than on Executive. The advertised Shop Card amount is still $50.
Yes. The digital Costco Shop Card can be used online or scanned from its barcode in-store.

I'm trying to sign up as a new customer (my 18-month waiting period has already passed), but it keeps redirecting me back to the sign-in page over and over. I've been trying since yesterday and have already tried multiple devices and browsers.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
I switch to Sam's for that period.

I can only get it to work with the regular membership.
Are you able to get it to work with executive?
my $10 BJ's membership expired, so i may as well rejoin costco again.
i really don't need wholesale clubs, but this 50th offer is hard to pass
especially since i live walking distance from a costco in 11374.
Moreover, Costco policy clearly states the following --
To cancel a membership, the Primary Member can do one of the following:
Speak with a team member at any warehouse membership counter and receive an immediate refund, or...
Call our Member Services Center at 1-800-774-2678 and speak to a live agent.
Eventually i called the local Costco tire department ,told them to transfer my call to customer service. Customer service at the store were not happy with my ingenuity to contact them. They said i can only cancel in store.
Asked AI Gemii:
"No, you cannot fully cancel your Costco membership online to get an immediate refund. "
