Follow these steps to get your free Shop Card:

  • First, buy the Costco Membership on Groupon
  • Then check the email account you used on Groupon to purchase this offer
  • Look in your inbox or spam/trash folder for a confirmation email from Costco with the subject line: “Thank You for your New Costco Membership” from the email address [email protected]. Keep in mind that you’ll need to allow up to 2 hours to receive this confirmation email.
  • Within 2 weeks of signing up, look for the $50 Costco Shop Card in your email
  • Executive members will also receive a $100 off $200 Costco.com promo code via email within 2 weeks of signing up (promo code expires 8/31/2025).
  • The $200 digital Costco Shop Card for the Costco travel promo will be emailed within 10 days after eligible travel.

To receive a physical Costco membership card, head to the membership counter at your local Costco and show your photo ID and a copy of your Costco or Groupon confirmation email. You do not need to have a physical membership card in order to receive the free $50 Shop Card (or $100 off $200 digital promo code for Executive Members).

A $65 Costco Gold Star membership comes with one additional membership card for a household member who is over the age of 16 and living at the same address.

With an Executive Membership for $130, you’ll get 2% cash back on ALL qualified Costco purchases!

That includes a ton of our favorite items, like Costco’s seasonal and home goods, pre-made meals, and that delectable sheet cake. 🤤 Yes, 2% CASH BACK ON CAKE!!

Plus, you’ll get discounts on more than just in-warehouse goods! Costco has an entire roster of services available to help its members with everything from car loans to travel savings, car & home insurance savings, and even identity protection. While these services are open to Gold Star members as well, Executive members may receive lower rates.

Plus, you’ll have access to Unexpected Items as a Costco member!

Costco’s neat “Unexpected Items” page highlights all the products that–you guessed it! You wouldn’t expect to find at Costco or on Costco.com. They have plenty of useful (and interesting!) items that you probably never knew you needed, and Costco is also a great starting point for finding some gift inspiration.

Since Costco sells such a wide variety of items online that you can get shipped right to you, you can benefit from a membership even if you don’t live close to a Costco location. 🙌

    Is there any way to give this as a gift to someone not in my household? May daughter recently moved out and I would like it to be a surprise if possible.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Great question! I did find these details for you if helpful! πŸ€—
      “Yes, you can purchase a Costco membership through Groupon as a gift. Groupon offers giftable vouchers, making it easy to buy and send a membership to someone else.

      However, it’s important to note that the recipient must be a new Costco member or someone whose previous membership has been expired for at least 18 months. Additionally, each household is limited to one membership and incentive.

      Alternatively, Costco offers a ‘Gift of Membership’ that can be purchased directly at their warehouses or online. This gift can be redeemed by the recipient at their Costco Customer Service.

      Before purchasing, it’s advisable to review the specific terms and conditions on Groupon’s website to ensure the gift aligns with your recipient’s needs.”

      You could also reach out to customer service for further details. Hoping this is helpfu! ❀️

      • Anne H

        Thank you for your research. I had spent a while reading and re-reading the information and just didn’t see anything. I also was rushed because the offer was expiring yesterday.

        I was able to purchase it using her information. She asked me “why am I getting weird emails from Groupon?” I told her not to open it. She got it that it is a gift.

        • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

          Aww, You’re so welcome! Glad you were able to go ahead and grab it for her! Thanks for the update, Anne H! Excited for her to receive it! βœ¨πŸ€—β€οΈ

  2. Dana

    Was considering a Costco membership to replace Sam’s Club but wanted to know if there is a membership level that includes free shipping at Costco or do they even offer free shipping.?

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Great question, Dana! Here’s what I found on their shipping info – “Each product on Costco.com has its own shipping fee attached (although many items are shipped at no additional charge).” Hoping that’s helpful! πŸ€—

  3. Natalie

    Hi I am a little confused is it 100 promo code for travel and a Costco.com product ? Any restrictions or fine print ?

    Just $130 + FREE $50 Digital Shop Card, $100 off a $200 Order Promo Code, & Costco Travel Promo

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Hi there! It seems those are separate offers. Be sure to click through the link above and scroll down the the “Highlights” for the fine print of each offer included. Hoping that helps! πŸ€—β€οΈ

  4. Noah

    Can I use this for my existing Costco membership that’s not active? If so how

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Great question, Noah! This deal is only valid for new Costco members or those whose memberships (Primary and Household) have been expired for at least 18 months. So if your Costco membership has been inactive for 18 months or longer, you would qualify for this deal and could sign up as a β€œnew” member by purchasing this Groupon deal! πŸ›’πŸŽ‰

    50 card is for shopping anything in the store?

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Hi there! Your digital shop card can be redeemed for most items. Here’s what I found on Costco’s Shop Card FAQβ€””Costco Digital Shop Cards may be used to shop at any Costco location or online at Costco.com and Costco.ca. At this time, Digital Shop Cards cannot be redeemed at Food Court kiosks.” Hope this helps! πŸ’•

      • Ash29

        Thank you.

        • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

          You’re very welcome! πŸ₯°

    My husband and I have lived in 4 different states and always had a Costco membership. We have never had a sign on bonus gift ever!!! Makes me want to cancel my membership cause I have just given them my $$$$$$😑

  7. rachel

    I tried to purchase a Costco Membership for my daughter through Groupon. Neither of us ever got the confirmation email and when I went to look at my Groupon account it showed redeemed. Like how could it have been redeemed before we ever got confirmation??? Groupon customer support was NO help at all. I would love to try this deal but not sure I want the headache of dealing with Groupon.
