Make sure to use coupon code CJPROMO on the payment screen. (If you don’t enter this code, you won’t receive the bonus gift card. You’ll see a $0.01 deduction on your membership cost after promo code is entered, which indicates your promo code has been successfully added.)
Make sure you’re enrolled in auto-renewal of your membership. (If you don’t elect this, you won’t receive the bonus gift card.)
Complete your purchase. You’ll receive two membership cards — one for the primary cardholder as well as one free household card.
The gift card will be emailed to your email address within 2 weeks of sign-up!
Costco Membership Promo Code Restrictions
Valid for new members for their first year of membership or expired memberships of over 18 months. Not valid for renewal or upgrade of existing membership. Limit 1 promotion per household.
Valid for a limited time only, while supplies last.
What is the cheapest Costco Membership you can get?
The Gold Star Membership is $60 per year and the least expensive option. However, it’s more like $30 when you factor in the $30 bonus gift card!
Are there ever deals on Costco memberships?
Costco very rarely, if ever, offers a discount on their membership prices… however, they will incentivize with gift cards.
Is the $120 Costco membership worth it?
The main benefit of the $120 Executive Membership is a 2% reward on all Costco purchases. Depending on your spending habits, you might be able to earn enough rewards to recoup your entire membership cost. However, even if you don’t spend enough to recoup your costs, you get a check, up to $60, for whatever cost you don’t recoup each year — making the Executive Membership essentially the same price as the Gold Star.
Do AAA members get discounts at Costco?
Currently, when you join or renew with your AAA membership, you can receive a one-time $20 or $10 Costco Shop Card.

Thank you for posting this deal! I haven’t had a Costco membership in over 15 years but this was the perfect reason to re-join. It was really easy to use the Groupon offer, I already got my $45 gift card (no expiration!) and some other offers and saved $.15/gal on gas compared to other gas stations in my area. Thanks again!
I just did this and now my sister wants to do it too for her household. Will this promo of $40 cash card still be here next week? She has to wait bout a week. Thanks in advance!
No. Once you buy the voucher, you’ll receive your member # and pin. You’ll enter that during the Costco checkout and it will automatically deduct the $60 charge — so you won’t have to pay anything during Costco checkout. I hope that helps! -Meg, MSM Team
No, you’ll just buy the voucher through Groupon. And then look under “my Groupons” for the voucher and there will be instructions on how to redeem it. Hope that helps! -Meg, MSM Team
Interesting comments but I still don’t see why Costco is better than Sam’s. Sam’s runs the new customer deal every year, usually found on Groupon. Is Costco cheaper, are there other advantages?
It honestly just depends on your preferences! Sam’s and Costco carry very different types of products. I personally love Costco more because I find that they have a lot of specialty food items for special diets (I’m a vegetarian and eat a lot of organic products), great produce prices, and amazing foods for entertaining! But other people love Sam’s Club more. I suggest going to each with a friend who already has a membership and deciding which one you like better. Of course, distance to your house matters, too! Hope that helps. -Meg, MSM Team
I bought this deal last week. I got my card from Costco but didn’t get any of the coupons. They gave me a bag so I thought the coupons & cash card were in there but it was just Costco information and their ad. Are the freebies sent later?
In the deal’s fine print it says that coupons and gift card will be mailed with in 4-6 weeks of activation. Sorry for the confusion! It can be difficult to find that information sometimes. Hope that helps! -Jordan, MSM Team
I was in to get my costco membership today and my local VA costco has a second deal going for all the folks coming in with groupon. If you upgrade your membership and get a Costco credit card you get a $60 cashback card. I didnt do it because I dont need the upgrade but I thought I would share this just in case others could benefit by it.
I am not sure since this is a Groupon deal. I would think that because it is a deal through a third party that you have to sign up through them. Your best bet would be to call your store and ask a customer service rep. Hope that helps! -Jordan, MSM Team
The fine print says it will be mailed to you within 4-6 weeks! It can be hard to find that in all of the jargon they add on these deals. I hope that helps answer your question! -Jordan, MSM Team

Unfortunately we can’t be sure when the Groupon will expire. Sorry we couldn’t be more help! -Jordan, MSM Team
Thank you! Signed up today and shopped this evening.
Yay! You’re so welcome! -Jordan, MSM Team
I paid for the Groupon and now Costco wants my credit card information to charge me $60 again?
No. Once you buy the voucher, you’ll receive your member # and pin. You’ll enter that during the Costco checkout and it will automatically deduct the $60 charge — so you won’t have to pay anything during Costco checkout. I hope that helps! -Meg, MSM Team
When I.m ordering it says promotion code do I need that?
No, you’ll just buy the voucher through Groupon. And then look under “my Groupons” for the voucher and there will be instructions on how to redeem it. Hope that helps! -Meg, MSM Team
Unfortunately I don’t believe it is still going! Sorry you missed it! -Jordan, MSM Team
I upgraded our Costco membership and got 10.00 off the upgrade
Wow! That’s a great deal! -Jordan, MSM Team
Has this expired? Link doesn’t work.
I just tried and it’s working for me. Can you try again? – Gretchen, MSM Team
Is this offer still current?
Yep! 🙂 -Meg, MSM Team
Thanks! I just joined 😉
Yay! You’re welcome! -Meg, MSM Team
If we would purchase this deal how much would renewal be next year?
Yes you can! We did it a few years ago when it was offered and they let us in right away!
Thanks! -Jordan, MSM Team

Thanks for sharing! We always like to hear about other great offers! -Jordan, MSM Team
If my husband has the account and it expired a few months ago, I was also added to the account, so does that not allow me to get this groupon deal?
I’m guessing probably not, if your name is on his account. I’m sorry! -Meg, MSM Team
Can I go to the store in Barrie Ontario Canada in person and sign up for a card and get the deal that is being offered at this time?
I am not sure since this is a Groupon deal. I would think that because it is a deal through a third party that you have to sign up through them. Your best bet would be to call your store and ask a customer service rep. Hope that helps! -Jordan, MSM Team
No, this deal is only available through Groupon, unfortunately. Sorry about that! -Meg, MSM Team
Question! My membership expired in Feb 2019. Can I use this? The wording is a bit confusing on existing membership/renewal.
Yes you can! Unless your membership expired on May 1, 2019 or later, you can use this deal! -Jordan, MSM Team
Thank you so much! I used this deal to renew!
Yay! So glad we could help! -Jordan, MSM Team
Can you get all the coupons and then just cancel the auto renew? Has anyone tried this? I want the deal but do not want auto renew. Thanks!
With services that require you to select auto-renew, you can typically cancel before the auto-renew takes place. Hope that helps! -Jordan, MSM Team
This looks like a great deal! But it also states that you have to mark that you’ll auto-renew.

I had been debating on renewing my Sam’s membership or trying Costco…this answered my dilemma! Thanks for sharing! ?
You’re so welcome! -Meg, MSM Team
Is there a discount for ppl on disability?! Tia
Is this deal valid instore as well?
I’m not really certain. It appears you need to buy the certificate online to be eligible! -Jordan, MSM Team
When or how do we get our $10 shop card? They didn’t give it to us in the store.
The fine print says it will be mailed to you within 4-6 weeks! It can be hard to find that in all of the jargon they add on these deals. I hope that helps answer your question! -Jordan, MSM Team
