Our Verdict

The $20 Costco Cash card brings down the cost from $60 to $40, and the free stuff could be valuable for a lot of people. Only works for new members, though. This deal also isn’t quite as good as the Groupon from July which had a few more freebies and also had the shopping portal advantage.

Before you buy this, keep in mind that some Navy Federal can get free Costco membership right now. There’s also a Groupon for Sam’s Club membership at the moment (contains our affiliate link).
