Our Verdict
This is from the best Costco Membership Deals we’ve seen. Stack by going through shopping portal for added cashback on Groupon.
One downside of Groupon payment – I’m unsure if you can get a refund on the overage cost of the $130 Executive membership when the payment was made through Groupon and not directly with Costco.
New member (name, address and phone have never been in the costco system), but accidentally used my parents costco.com email address during the signup.
Will I still get the bonus?
No guarantees — I would create an online account then update the email on there.
Looking at my online account they seem to have “sign in email” and “membership email” (you can have them the same or separate)
Create your own login using your membership number and the new email you want to use — then update the membership email in Account Details from your parents to yours and hope for the best
I succesfully received the codes. I was previously a household member. I used a new email and it worked out. My address and phone were never on file while I was a household member.
How many days after signing up did you all receive the digital shop card and other incentives?
About three to four business days. $50 shop card came first. Then the $100 off $200 for the executive membership a day or two later.
Costco Wholesale has sent you a Costco Digital Shop Card. Use it today or whenever you like, it never expires!
So it does not expire on June 22nd, as Groupon describes.
The “promotional value” that groupon refers to is the value of the groupon, which is the $65 you’re paying them. The $100 off $200 coupon has an expiration date of 8/31, but shop cards don’t expire. They’re under costco’s jurisdiction.
Does the coupon work on purchasing 3rd party gift card like uber? can you try going through checkout page?
I don’t have a coupon so I can’t tell you what those terms are. The expiration is listed on the groupon page.
Does anyone know what would happen if you buy the groupon and it turns out that you’re not considered a new member? Can you get a refund or are you stuck with the membership and no shop card?
Charge for executive posted to my Mesa credit card a few days ago, I don’t think it’ll activate the club credit though.

Miscellaneous General Services
While my Groupon Costco Executive Membership purchase didn’t count towards the Big Box Membership credit, a $65.02 charge for merchandise at Costco.com triggered it!
Did anyone who purchased get their $100off/$200 coupon in email yet?
Yes just got mine today, signed up 6/1
Yes it does
can you get executive membership and get a refund if the cashback earned is less than $65 with the groupon purchase?
what are the coupons of $100 off $200 if you do the more expensive version useable on, literally anything on costco.com?
I’ll get this tomorrow, June 1st 2025. I am assuming it will expire June 30th 2026 then.
