Mine expired 12/2025. I went to checkout and put in GOLDEN and it came up green with a value of -0.00. How can I tell if the promo applied to my account to where I get the gift card?
Once you put in the promo code it should prompt a dialogue about the promo. I attached an image of what i see. image atached

Is anyone else experiencing this?
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?

So, the gift card is going to be $50 no matter which (regular or executive) membership I'd chose?

If you rotate, is there a 6 month period where no one has a costco membership?
Yep. Unless you have a 3rd player.
I switch to Sam's for that period.

Huh...it's been YEARS since I've been a member and tried to use the promo code to sign back up, but says the promo code is invalid. Must just not like me. Was actually looking to rejoin and this was enough to push me to.

I cant get it to give me the dialogue prompt when i input the promo code when i try to get the exectutive membership.
I can only get it to work with the regular membership.
Are you able to get it to work with executive?

I haven't tried. I bought an executive membership using recent Groupon deal with 100 off code, but I haven't approved the membership in store yet, and now, I'm thinking about this deal, cuz 50 shop card is better then a promocode, which is eligible only for online orders.

Do we have to create an online login first and then make the membership purchase?

will try to do this aug 1st so i get the full 13 months thru sept 1st 2027.
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.

Quote from DragonflyPunch :
Not sure why this misinformation about Costco membership cancellation needing to be in store only pops up in every Costco thread. I have cancelled Costco membership over phone in the past. It took two minutes and I promptly got the full refund on my credit card.

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.
I canceled last year. I went round and round and round and round on the Costco website to cancel. Called the live agent after a couple of days waiting and waiting hours, then hanging up, to talk to a LIVE agent. A LIVE agent is a call center employee is not a real Costco employee. Tried calling the local Costco--impossible. It re routes to the website. Eventually a Live agent said can not be done over the phone nor on the Costco website.
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. "
