Deal Details
Enroll in Costco auto renewal and get a $5 shop card in your "Costco Wallet".

I just got my Costco annual renewal in the mail because I turned off auto renewal. It included the offer shown in the photo.

If you have a November renewal (or any future month) and haven't gotten it yet, turn off auto renewal now and see if you get it.

Fine print says "This promotion is only valid for the recipient of this renewal notice with a November 2026 renewal month. Promotion ends October 28, 2026. Enroll in auto renewal online or in person with any Visa credit/debit card. Access your Digital Costco Shop Card by creating a Costco.com account, verifying your membership and downloading the Costco app."

Meanwhile you get $40 at times for signing up at Costco by agreeing to have auto-renewal turned on. Weak deal.
New membership only I think?
I've never seen a $40 perk to set up auto renewal for an existing membership.

Of course not existing, you do tricks to get that, similar to Sam's Club.

They sent me one with my renewal notice as well, but it's for a free $10 Costco shop card. Renewal in October.

There's no code or link or anything, and the QR code takes you to a help page saying how to setup auto renewal. It's just a targeted offer that only those that were sent it can take advantage of.

Executive. I've renewed a number of times. I've also signed up for auto renewal and received bags and such in-store and cancelled later, though I have also let it auto renew before as well
