Just scored a free $10 Costco Shop Gift Card by turning on Auto Renewal and showing the Membership Counter at Costco. The lady at the counter said this should be available at every warehouse in Australia. If you don't want auto renewal kept on you can simply turn it off after receiving your free gift card. Can only be redeemed once as they scan your membership card when handing over the free gift card.
You can, I did last year.
Used the membership for 340 odd days, got the 10 bucks about 6 months in, then cancelled for full refund 340 odd in, no fuss.
Do they ban you from signing up again?
Pretty easy to just say you're going to sign up for a membership, walk in, then go straight to the food court or walk in through the counters. If anyone stops you just say you need to use the toilet first before signing up.
They don't let you walk through the exit anymore, you have to go into the signup line. Yes you could sit in the line for a while then escape to the food court but thats a bit much
One lady made me walk the entire way when I was about 10 metres away from the toilet. I told her she might need to call for a mop and bucket near the entrance if she made me walk back.
She didn't GAF.
Should be long running. This was a thing a year ago iirc. Back then you got $20 or a cooler bag
Any insight on when this deal expires?
I've found that in the past, the auto renewal deal can vary from bags to a case of water… This is one of the better ones
is it tied to your account?
Can join and cancel unlimited times under 1 year, they happy do do this for you.
And then I can cancel my auto renewal and membership and use the gift card to keep coming in for Pizza and samples… hopefully
