The Offer
- Costco is running a promo to get $40 Costco Shop Card when you sign up for the $60 basic Goldstar membership tier.
- They are also offering two deals when you sign up for the upgraded $120 Executive membership tier: $40 Shop Card and $60 discount coupon on $200 order at Costco.com.
- Use promo code CJGPNMBR at checkout on Costco and you’ll see $.01 get deducted which confirms the promo is successfully applied (This particular promo code is from Groupon; there are others out there as well for the same deal.)
Our Verdict
You need to opt-in for auto-renewal to get these deals; you can always change that afterward, just be sure to mark yourself a reminder. Also, this deal only works for someone who has not been a Costco member for 18 months.
I’m thinking of finally becoming a Costco member for the first time in my life. I’m unsure whether to do the Executive membership or the basic Goldstar membership. For someone who like shopping online at Costco.com, the executive deal seems like a no-brainer since you’ll get back the $60 from the online coupon discount on a $200 shopping.
