Two ways,
First, you can check the details yourself in the account section after you login, it'll tell you when you were a member. And then you do the 18mo math.
Second, the sign up flow itself has a check, so when you apply the promo if Costco thinks you're not a "new" customer the checkout screen on the sign up flow will show you that.
Thank you for the info!

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Previous comments here on new Costco membership deals indicate if you wait until the earlier part of the month to purchase it (November for example), your membership would expire at the end of November 2027. Getting this now supposedly will expire the membership at the end of October 2027.

Going direct through Costco means enrolling in auto-renew and using code NEWMBR26, so set a reminder if you don't want it renewing next year.

Maybe stupid question, but can I get this and never go into a Costco? I just like the online deals.
Sure. Why not? You just have to register online..

You call the member service and ask. Otherwise they can deny you the cash card.. They did to me one time.

Interesting this doesn't have the language about disqualified if you were an secondary on another account. You have to read these things like Amex lifetime bonus language. I hate Costco but i might try it for just that lol.

Edit: nevermind, it does have those terms, nobody noted the actual terms here so i will, anyone have any experience in trying if you were an affiliate? Nothing special here then versus other offers:

Valid through 12/20/26. To receive a Digital Costco Shop Card, set up auto renewal of your Costco membership on a Visa® credit/debit card or Mastercard debit card at the time of sign-up. Valid only for new members and those who have not been a Costco member (Primary, Household, or Affiliate) in the last 18 months. Valid only for nonmembers for their first year of membership.

Tried to subscribe and after successfully telling me "Welcome to the Costco family" I get an e-mail your order has been cancelled. There is a charge on my card, $64.99, pending. My last membership expired in 2022. I'm a household of one so there's no one else in my household that would have one. Not sure why it's cancelling my order. I'll need to call their Customer Service and inquire.
