try calling the CS, sometimes they are generous and could offer you a shop card. If they do not honor claiming it is through a third party, you can cancel your membership and have your family member apply a new one through the Costco's promotion. Later you can become a household once after receiving your $45 shop card.

Just realized I'm at 19 months since my membership expired, but honestly still on the fence. If I do re-up, it'll mostly be for the Kirkland TP

Yes, it's two clicks on the website. I had to cancel my auto renew a couple days ago so I could enable it again for the free beanie they were giving out with auto-renew. Lol.

Why would you? The membership costs $65 and you're getting a $45 shop card. That's the same as your $20 sign up with fewer steps.

They said they only received a $20 coupon, and this is for a $45 "coupon." The previous Groupon offer was for $20 before this went live. Reading comprehension is hard.

For those with the same original question: If you haven't already redeemed your Groupon for a membership, you can cancel the transaction for a refund. Groupon generally doesn't honor requests to get the higher promotional credit if the deal changes. You can always try to ask Costco customer support to give you the difference if you are within a few days between activation and this promotion.

Trying to sign up and have had previous membership but past the 18 months. When entering all the details and clicking "continue" it just goes to make me login? Any ideas why?

Join Sam's Club, superior tp (and paper towels) compared to Costco's.
And support a company like Walmart? Also in what world is the Sam's TP better quality?
