Overview
- StackSocial and Groupon are offering 12‑month Costco memberships bundled with Digital Costco Shop Cards, with $40 for Gold Star and $60 for Executive tiers reported across outlets.
- 9to5Toys says the offer is live again on December 29 and lists an expiration of December 31, 2025, which The Street also cites for Groupon, while The Mirror reports a December 22 cutoff with redemption allowed into January.
- The promotions apply only to new members or those whose primary and affiliate memberships have been expired for at least 18 months, and they are not valid for renewals or upgrades.
- Terms state the Digital Costco Shop Card is emailed within about two weeks after successful sign‑up and enrollment in auto‑renewal, is not redeemable for cash except as required by law, and is not accepted at U.S. or Canada food courts.
- Costco’s standard annual fees are $65 for Gold Star and $130 for Executive, and the company rarely discounts memberships directly, which is why these limited‑time affiliate offers stand out.
