Costco Membership Promo FAQs
The Gold Star Membership is $60 per year and the least expensive option. However, it’s more like $40 when you factor in the $20 bonus gift card!
Costco very rarely, if ever, offers a discount on their membership prices… however, they will incentivize with gift cards.
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.
Currently, when you join or renew with your AAA membership, you can receive a one-time $20 or $10 Costco Shop Card.
Sharon Wonders says
Is this still available? Hard to tell with it not actually coming off price?
Jordan says
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. I hope this helps! -Jordan, MSM Team
Sharon says
Thanks! Will give it a try!
Cheryl says
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!
Olivia says
Wow, that’s wonderful! You are so welcome! -Olivia, MSM Team
Valerie Hallmen says
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!
Jordan says
Unfortunately we can’t be sure when the Groupon will expire. Sorry we couldn’t be more help! -Jordan, MSM Team
Patty says
Thank you! Signed up today and shopped this evening.
Jordan says
Yay! You’re so welcome! -Jordan, MSM Team
Melissa says
I paid for the Groupon and now Costco wants my credit card information to charge me $60 again?
Meg says
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
susan kauderer says
When I.m ordering it says promotion code do I need that?
Meg says
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
Jordan says
Unfortunately I don’t believe it is still going! Sorry you missed it! -Jordan, MSM Team

Yes you can! We did it a few years ago when it was offered and they let us in right away!
Jordan says
Thanks! -Jordan, MSM Team
Cindy Simons says
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?
Meg says
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
Sara says
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?
Jordan says
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
Doreen Sevestrean says
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.
Jordan says
Thanks for sharing! We always like to hear about other great offers! -Jordan, MSM Team
Wendy says
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?
Meg says
I’m guessing probably not, if your name is on his account. I’m sorry! -Meg, MSM Team
Linda Martin says
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?
Jordan says
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
Meg says
No, this deal is only available through Groupon, unfortunately. Sorry about that! -Meg, MSM Team
Morgan says
Question! My membership expired in Feb 2019. Can I use this? The wording is a bit confusing on existing membership/renewal.
Jordan says
Yes you can! Unless your membership expired on May 1, 2019 or later, you can use this deal! -Jordan, MSM Team
Morgan Savant says
Thank you so much! I used this deal to renew!
Jordan says
Yay! So glad we could help! -Jordan, MSM Team
Sarah Boys says
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!
Jordan says
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
Dawn Gehle says
This looks like a great deal! But it also states that you have to mark that you’ll auto-renew.
Jordan says

Jessica says
I had been debating on renewing my Sam’s membership or trying Costco…this answered my dilemma! Thanks for sharing! ?
Meg says
You’re so welcome! -Meg, MSM Team
Caroline Alexcee says
Is there a discount for ppl on disability?! Tia
Naomi says
Is this deal valid instore as well?
Jordan says
I’m not really certain. It appears you need to buy the certificate online to be eligible! -Jordan, MSM Team
Brian says
When or how do we get our $10 shop card? They didn’t give it to us in the store.
Jordan says
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
