(EXPIRED) Up to $100 off at Costco with the purchase of a new membership

Regardless of whether you’re in the market for a first-time Costco membership or looking to add another one to expand your 2% Executive Member rebate capacity, Costco is currently offering another Groupon promotion that could be appealing.

For the next couple of weeks, you can get a $50 or $100 Costco.com discount coupon with the purchase of a new Gold Star or Executive Membership through Groupon.

In addition, many folks are targeted for an Amex Offer that gives you $10 back on a $50+ Groupon purchase. Stack that with a shopping portal, and the net cost of a one-year membership gets pretty close to zero. (h/t: DOC)

Quick Thoughts

If you’ve been thinking about joining Costco or if you’ve been 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.

If you are signing up for a second membership, make sure to use a different e-mail and phone number than what’s associated with your current one. 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.
