Did you try to contact Costco directly?

Cosco
 

I'm a Sam's Club member as it's convenient for both TV and our summer residence up north.

Question, is it possible to have a one time guest pass just to shop once and peruse the store?

Thanks In Advance

I think they will allow you to visit the store, but I don't think you can make a purchase. Although, you can make purchases online but you will pay a 5 percent surcharge as a non-member.

Ahh, I never mentioned bait & switch or seniors vs crime. I did read the card and got it wrong because I was in a senior moment. The summer heat is getting to me.

You need to sign up in person-bring the card-pay the $65 & they will e-mail you a $20 gift card to be used for shopping in the store..

Are you sure you need to sign up in person, or can you enter the code online? If the lines are long, it would not be worth the wait to get a $20 gift card.

Go with a person who has a membership.

Nope. Had problem processing, input all information click next then I had a popup made no sense on next page.

I live in The Villages and I did NOT receive the post card you all are talking about. What's up with that???

You're luckier than most? :shrug:

According to the offer I received, you do not need to visit the store in person to get the digital gift card. When you sign up online, you need to provide a valid email address and the gift card is sent to your email address within 2 weeks. At least, that is what the offer says. Nowhere does it say that you need to visit the store in person.

I needed to have my photo taken and a card issued first visit to a store.

According to the Costco 800 number, you can join Costco online and use a digital membership card to enter the store and to make purchases, WITHOUT a photo. You do not need to have a photo on the account, but it is preferred to get one when it is convenient. So, if the lines are long, you can wait until they get shorter to add the photo to the account.

So what was the cost of membership at these tents?

Understood, - needed to setup the spouses card/account also. We did the $50 Groupon deal mentioned here.

At the Clermount store last week, they offered a second $50 store card for upgrading to an Executive membership (additional $65) when getting our card.
