Our Verdict
This is a really good deal. We have seen similar or better deals in the past, they don’t come along very often. I got a popup on Stacksocial for 15% off first purchase, so that might work for an additional discount.
Hat tip to reader J.
I signed up for the deal when it was $40 and today I only got a $20 shop card.
Been a month and haven’t gotten anything
Has anyone received the $40 gc?
Would it be sent on email?
Not me lol
Groupon also has the same deal: https://www.groupon.com/deals/cpn-costco-april24sl
going through SS, you get to choose when to start membership. through costco.com, your membership starts right after you paid
probably something to watch out if you are still some days before the 18 months mark
Does it work if P1 cancel their costco membership ( just renewed last week), get a full $60 refund. P2 Sign up with this offer? P1 P2 same address
I asked Costco directly recently. I wanted to cancel my P2 membership and signup under my name and business (P1) with a new member offer, same address for both. They said you won’t qualify for any welcome bonuses because same address (like this one). Seems enough time needs to lapse to be considered a new member.
guess why do you contact costco on this, i expect them to say no?
Any dps on this scenario: had costco membership till June2022 with address A.
Can i get this deal now with address B?
Over 18 months…
They also track through other info. I used to alternate through multiple addresses but they’ve found all my accounts. You need new phone # and email. But it’s been 18 months so it doesn’t matter for you.
the deal back in July of this year was better
also, it looks like Costco membership starts immediately when you made your purchase thing is more common these days
Current Groupon deal gets you a membership immediately. Too bad, I was hoping to activate in January.
So you lose $20. What am I missing?
No, you lose $60 plus whatever you pay in extra to use the $40.
Its normally $60 with no bonus $40.
You’re missing out on losing thousands from impulse shopping once you get the membership.
