Good find OP, especially with the Groupon $10 cashback from Amex. I have that offer, and it expires on July 26th.

Does anyone know if I buy the Groupon, can I wait till August 1 to redeem it for the Costco membership?

Edit: It doesn't appear so, as step one on Groupon shows that right after you make the purchase you receive a confirmation email with your membership number. Oh well, I guess it's worth getting now while the $10 additional savings is available, and give up the extra month of August.

No way is Costco going to let you double dip on two separate promotions lol

The $50 digital Costco shop card promotion is only available online at costco.com right now using the promo code GOLDEN.

Nope. Get an executive membership or don't get one. No 2% back on purchases. Less liberal return windows.
Costco has a great return policy, even for their gold star members. And 2% is only worth it if you spend in excess of $65 * 100 / 2 = $3,250 worth of goods at costco every year. Ain't nobody got that kinda money
