Costco is currently offering a bonus $20 shop card with every gift of membership card until Christmas.

You can use the gift of membership cards to sign someone up or to RENEW YOUR OWN membership, effectively giving you $20 off your membership.
You will need to go inside the warehouse and head to the register first and buy it, then take it to the membership desk to redeem.

Please note for Costco business members who only pay $55/annually, the membership desk would give you a $5 shop card back since the gift of membership is $60 in value.

This is part of Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals for 2021

        can you buy $60 gift card at the membership desk and then renew $55 membership at the counters with the products?

        • AssociatedYourImag1nat1on @ Costco Wholesale on 27/11/2021 - 08:41

          Yes you get $5 back

    Is this is only for existing members? It sounds like I can't sign up and get $20 as a new member right?

    edit: OR can I just go into Costco, and sign up? I thought people without memberships can't enter.

    • troyww on 26/11/2021 - 23:49

        You can use the gift of membership cards to sign someone up or to RENEW YOUR OWN membership

    The real OzB cheap trick is refunding your membership on the last day of it. jk, but in all seriousness Costco customer service is so good you can refund at any point and get a full refund.

    Also don't miss out on the hot dogs at the foodcourt — quintessential americana. $1.99 for a hotdog + unlimited refills of a 24oz drink.

    • moneytomyway on 27/11/2021 - 00:01

      this is what some will do consider wasting 1/3 of membership due to lockdown.

      • MagicTsukai on 27/11/2021 - 00:06

        Surely they would frown if you cancel and renew constantly

        • t25 on 27/11/2021 - 00:13

          I thought you couldn't renew for one year if you cancel.

        • detlef7 on 27/11/2021 - 01:54

          It wouldn't matter anyways as Costco requires you two months clear if you restart your membership. Otherwise, they'll just backdate it like you never cancelled.

          Say, you start your membership Jan 2021 but decide not to renew, this gets you to end of Dec 2021. If you decide to renew on mid-Feb 2022, they'll backdate your membership from Jan 2022 to Dec 2022.

      • meowsers on 27/11/2021 - 00:13

        Costco already gave out a voucher for $20 during the lockdown as compensation. Very kind of them.

  • KirKoloft on 26/11/2021 - 23:56

    Do the business members get a $5 shop card + a $20 shop card?
    Or just a $5 shop card?

    • Supermari78 on 27/11/2021 - 00:02

      $5 in cash. But I didn't want to have my existing membership renewed immediately, so they said they would refund me $5 when I redeemed $60 membership card for next renewal.

      • hashtagbargain on 27/11/2021 - 00:28

        So business members miss out on the $20 shop card?

        • Supermari78 on 27/11/2021 - 00:48
          +2

          No. Biz acc holders also get $20 shop card. The $5 refund happens when a biz member uses the $60 membership card for renewal, coz membership card comes in $60 value not $55.

    • AssociatedYourImag1nat1on @ Costco Wholesale on 27/11/2021 - 00:33
      +2

      You get a $20 shop card and the membership gift at the register for $60, when you redeem the membership at the membership desk on a business membership you get another $5 shop card

      • BigLeviathan on 27/11/2021 - 05:29

        Cool, so business membership total renewal cost would be $30?

        Also, with the business membership, can you have 2 cards for 2 person from different addresses?

        Oh wait… A current member would need go inside the store, buy the Giftcard and get it for you? Boo…I thought I can go to the counter and ask them to renew my expired membership and get the discount benefit straight away

      • dealbreak on 27/11/2021 - 13:20

    Went to Ringwood to renew, they said the $20 shop card offer is not available for renewing own membership.

    It’s only for gifting memberships, which means I have to be an active member first, THEN buy another to gift, in order to get the $20 shop card offer.

    They told me to do this instead, and I did: I just renewed, then created an online account and turned on auto-renew, and got a $10 shop card and a cooler bag.

    OP, if you have any more information on renewals also eligible for this offer, such as a photo, could you share in the OP?

      You can buy and use the gift of Membership on yourself if you are a current member, if your membership is already expired you can’t buy it, this is the case at Moorabbin, was your membership still valid? I’m not sure why Ringwood wouldn’t let you

      • BargainShopaholic on 27/11/2021 - 12:57

    Guys, for those of you that read this deal and went into a Costco store today hoping to save $20 on their membership fees ( maybe I am the only dummy that misread this), then there is no saving for new members.

    This is only a deal if an existing member bought you a card and gave it to you. I went to join and paid the full $60 at counter.

    BTW what a freaking trolley jam and carparking nightmare for a suburban Woolies and Coles shopper !

  • browser on 27/11/2021 - 21:53

    This is a great deal, effectively 33% off gold membership, or 36% off business membership.

    But the business membership renew is a bit of a process, because staff can't just take $5 from the till, they have to refund the gift membership then use $55 for renew and give you the balance $5.

    I guess when they process the refund, system must have flagged there's a $20 gift card, so team leader have to come to override.

  • Ksou on 28/11/2021 - 09:11

    Hi there. Sorry if this has been asked but does anyone know when this deal expires? Cheers
