Quick Thoughts
If you’ve been thinking about joining Costco or looking to add a bit more space to your annual 2% rebate (like I often am), this could be a good opportunity to get off the fence and try it for a year.
Normally, Costco breaks these promos into two tiers: $40 for Gold memberships and $60 for Executive. This time, it’s split the difference and is offering $50 regardless of which one you select, making it an excellent deal for the $65/year Gold version.
If you are signing up for a second membership, make sure to use a different e-mail address and phone number than those associated with your current membership. Costco won’t let you use the same info on two memberships. You can, however, have both a business and a personal account at the same address.





For those who did this, how soon did you get the $50 shop card? I signed up a few days ago and haven’t received anything, and am wondering if I left off the promo code by accident.
If you have an amex card, there’s a $10 off Groupon offer. And you can get the Costco membership via Groupon.
Is it possible to stack this with the new Wyndham premium card?
