If you’re not already a Costco member, and you’ve been thinking about trying it, NOW is your chance to join and get a BIG bonus just for signing up!

The BEST deal we’re currently seeing is this one: get a $45 Digital Costco Shop Card when you join! You’ll get a $45 gift card with either the Gold Star Membership or the Executive Membership.

Since a Gold Star Membership is $65, subtracting what you’ll save with the shop card is like bringing your price down to only $20 for the whole year!

Other Costco Membership Deals

If the deals mentioned above are no longer valid, let us know and we’ll update the post with any new deals we can find.

Once you purchase a NEW Gold Star membership, allow up to two hours to receive a confirmation email. Bring the confirmation email information to a Costco near you to receive your physical membership card and start saving!

    We bought a Costco membership from Thrifty Minnesota on Oct. 29th and we have not received the 45 dollar gift card yet. We did go to Costco and received our membership cards, but they couldn’t help us with the gift card. We used Pay PAL to buy the membership on Oct 29th Can you helps? We were not told how the gift card would arrive.Thanks!

      Hi, Joy – If you click through on the original offer it has details about how and when you should receive it to your email. If you haven’t seen it come through it may be in your email spam. Do a search on the email address costco@digitalshopcard.costco.com to help locate it. You can also try the Costco customer service number at 800-774-2678.
