Groupon.com - Costco: First Year Membership and $40 Credit for $60
If you want a Costco membership, Groupon is offering a better deal than signing-up in the store.
Pay
$60 to get
- One year Costco membership, valid for up to 2 people.
- A $40 Costco shop card (store credit)A coupon for $40 off of a $250+ online order at Costco.com
Normally, a one year Costco membership
costs $60 without free store credit.
This deal is for new Costco members, or previous members whose memberships expired before April 1.
Two important things to know:
- Costco will automatically renew your membership in a year, likely at the regular $60 price.If you decide not want to renew, you will have to cancel before it automatically renews.Costco only accepts Visa credit cards, bank debit cards (with a PIN number), or cash in-store.You cannot use MasterCard, American Express, or Discover cards for any purchases at Costco stores, Costco gas stations, and Costco.com.
For those looking for grocery delivery, Costco currently does not offer that.Third-party services like
Instacart do provide Costco shopping & delivery, but have what we believe to be a hefty
20% per-item surcharge regardless of whether you have a Costco membership.So, Instacart is a horrible deal for those looking for Costco delivery.
As another alternative, many local grocery stores now offer their own delivery service, at the same prices as in the stores plus a fixed shopping & delivery fee.Someone with
Amazon Prime membership can also get free delivery on a $35+ order at
Whole Foods Market where items cost the same as shopping in the store.
