I received a post card from Costco with a special offer for a membership card for the new Costco at discounted price of $20. When I try to sign up the price is $65. It's looking for a coupon code to get the special offer. The only code I can find on the post card is an "awareness code" and that code don't work. Anyone here have better luck?

When I signed up I paid $65 and then got a coupon in my email for $20 to use in the store or online.

Did you receive the post card with the $20 membership offer?

The card says you will get a $20 gift card when you join ..

Be careful. It’s good that you went to the Costco website to check and it might be telling that the website doesn’t mention the offer.

I have seen a couple of suspicious emails with discount offers, but upon closer inspection, these were NOT from Costco, looked like a scam to get my credit card info.

I got my Costco membership off Groupon. Ends up being $5.

Right now all Groupon has is the $20.00 coupon with a membership.

Chat with an agent said I had to join in person at the new store, counter to the postcard offer. Marketing department not on the same page as operations.

Several weeks ago on TOTV there was an offer on Groupon for a $65 Costco membership that included a $50 gift card. I took the offer and received the gift card. I received an ad from Costco for electric tooth brushes marked Internet Only, so I ordered them. @ days later we went to Costco in Clermont for other things and found the tooth brushes for $50 cheaper. I complained and they told me this happens all the time. I returned the Internet Only tooth brushes and they gave me credit for shipping and everything I paid. I then bought the in store exactly the same tooth brush. Before buying on line check the in store prices.
We also bought some USDA Prime rib eye steaks that were the best I have ever had, including Sam's, Omaha and Publix

If you read the card, nowhere does it say a membership is being offered for $20……as others have said, you get a “digital” $20 store credit coupon sent via email once you sign up ($40 if you buy the Executive Membership). Rest assured……it’s not any type of “Bait & Switch” scheme……no need to get Seniors vs Crime involved!! LoL!!!

You can join Costco online and use a digital membership card on your phone to enter the store and to make purchases. No need to wait in a line. You do not need a physical plastic card.

Are they offering any deals if you purchase your membership at the on site tent?
