- Not valid for renewal of an existing Costco membership or an upgrade of an existing membership to an Executive Membership
Our Verdict
The $40 back will bring down the membership cost from $60 to $20. If you value the online coupon, it can bring down the cost to less than zero. A number of stacks:
- Dosh is offering $20 back for online Costco membership purchases – you can click through from Dosh, then navigate to the promo page, pay with a Dosh-connected card. (Note: it’s possible that since the price is $59.99 and not $60, as noted in the fine print, it won’t trigger the Dosh cashback.)
You can also go through Rakuten for an extra $10 back.Update: apparently this does not stack with promo code.- There’s a Chase Offer for $10 back on $60 membership purchase, reported by readers. It likely won’t work given the charge will just be $59.99, but it should work for an Executive membership charge of $119.99.
- It’s possible this will stack with the Wyndham promotion for $60 back on Costco membership, if you were targeted for that.
Hopefully the Dosh will track and make this a real moneymaker.
I never got the $40 card. Anyone else have this problem? How do you get the card. I’m tempted to just get a membership refund.
Any deals that work for people renewing their membership?
Chase $10 off posted today, even though it was 59.99.
Signed up 9/20, received coupon code yesterday for $40 off online order of $250+. Sadly costco shop cards are excluded in terms, and don’t trigger the $40 off. Probably pretty useless to me now. Haven’t received the shop card yet.
how long did it take for the costco coupon and card to arrive? signed up on 9/19 and havent gotten anything in the mail so far, got an email to sign up for auto pay to qualify and i did on 9/23
Still waiting for $40 card after almost a year.
Got the $40 physical shop card in mail today. Too bad Dosh did not track. Anybody knows a good use for that 40 off 250 coupon ?
Got mine in the mail today as well. Dosh also didn’t track for me.
Coupon looks to work for the gift card sales today, best chance to cash in imo.
Are you sure ? I thought GCs were excluded and Costco does not seem to sell good GCs anyway. I have not use for airlines or Hulu.
“Auto renewal required at sign-up.”
There is no option for this during sign-up – only to save the payment card to profile. After sign-up, you are able to opt-in to auto-renewal in Account>Auto-Renew, but not before.
Thanks for sharing. Too bad about Dosh. I got the $40 off coupon via email but no physical cash card yet. How lenient is Costco about refunding the membership charge ? I have no use for the membership, I do like a couple of items that Costco carries but not enough to actually shop there.
Got the same message as Ryan below – apparently Dosh doesn’t stack anymore. They said i used OFFERS21 promo code – but i actually used GRMKT21 lol
think the term states the 2nd person must be a household member with the same address; any rate, was any folks able to get secondary card with different address?
