Join Costco and get a $20 gift card with your membership – here's how
A new Costco membership comes with a $20 gift card right now.
StackSocial
Thinking about joining Costco? Or, have you been sharing a membership card with your parents or friends? Now that Costco is starting to crack down on membership sharing (in the coming months, the stores will start scanning cards at the entrance and requiring the member to be present), it’s a good time to invest in your own. And with this deal, when you buy a one-year Gold Star membership through Stack Social, you’ll get a $20 gift card included. That essentially reduces your membership cost to just $45 for the year, from the current price of $65. (If you prefer the top-tier Costco Executive Gold Star membership, you can get a $40 gift card right now with your membership, too.)
This deal is only open to new Costco members, or those whose memberships have been expired for more than 18 months. It’s also only available to US and Puerto Rico customers. While you can purchase a maximum of two memberships, there’s a limit of one per household — so you can keep one, and gift the other. (You can get an additional card for a member of the same household who is over age 18 included, however.)
I bought this Costco deal myself in November 2023 and can vouch for it. The redemption process was easy: You purchase and redeem the membership online, and pick up your card in any Costco warehouse at the customer service counter (just be prepared to have a photo taken for your card, which I was not). To get your $20 gift card, you enter your email at the time of redemption. My gift card arrived via email within two weeks, and I had the option to scan it on my phone or print it out to use at the store, or online.
Costco has over 800 locations worldwide — find a warehouse near you here. You can also shop online. Costco members can find everything from groceries to household necessities to electronics to a pharmacy, and more. Members will also get savings on Costco Services, including the Costco Gas Station and Costco Tire Center, and others that can connect you with auto and home insurance, pet insurance, and identity protection. Costco offers travel deals as well, including resort packages and cruises.
Don’t miss this deal on a one-year Costco Gold Star membership plus a $20 gift card.
Your membership purchase must be redeemed by Oct. 31, 2024 to qualify for this promotion. Stack Social encourages those who purchase to redeem within 30 days.
