Head to the membership counter at the warehouse, open the Costco app and enrol into auto renewal function in front of staff, and receive a $10 Costco Shop Card. Only one Costco Shop Card can be claimed per membership lifetime.
(Mod note: Users had commented that some successfully claimed more than once, some being lectured by staff, and some claims were rejected. Your experience may vary.)
Valid 17 February 2025 to 16 March 2025
Same as last deals in November 2024 and a year ago.
The person at the Costco counter advised me that it is only redeemable once for every member
Correct. They record it in the account.
Last time they said I have redeemable a gift(forgot what that) so can't redeem for another offer .
So if I did it last year we can’t do it again now?
yes.. please try and let us know though
No harm trying.
You are allowed to change your mind after enabling, and change your mind again to give it another shot.
Got a cooler bag with random goods for enabling auto-renew in 2022, off and on again got a slab of water worth $10.99 in 2023, rinse and repeat got a $10 gift card in 2024. Will try again before16/March.
Apparently you should turn it on in front of them so they can witness it. I had it turned on already and got into a debate about it at the counter. Was able to get the $10 in the end
Insane. Does the voucher come out of the check out person's take home pay?
Once went back to claim a refund for something that went on special after I bought it, I was served with the darkest of attitude. It was as if I had kicked her mum, dog, and then took money out of her bank account.
@t25: Once tried to pay using Vanilla prepaid Visa, the checkout person refused and called the supervisor who also took a stand not to accept.
I used the same card to renew membership at the front counter 30 minutes earlier no one said a thing. Also used both Vanilla Visa and Master cards before and after that particular instance no less than 10 times without any issues.
It was just that one time with that one checkout person who had beef with it. Still a mystery if there's a policy not to accept prepaid cards.
Can’t find the auto renew in the app
"My Costco" at the bottom, scroll down to "Renew Membership", then "Auto Renew".
You need to add a payment method if not already, in order to enable auto renew.
Whens costco docklands going to close down, seems like they're milking it a bit
What do you mean milking? You’re willing them to close down??
As soon as the Ardeer store is ready. There's still construction on the roads outside it.
Does it work for the business membership too?
Sure does.
my membership ends on end of March, can I turn on auto-renewal now, get the $10 GC before 16th Mar, and switch off the auto-renewal?
where we currently live doesn't have a Costco close-by anymore, and over the past year we've only visited like 3 times.
suppose we can buy 2* $25 GC with cash, and this $10 GC for free, and that'll cover us for the next year?
much cheaper than the membership for the limited occasional visit….
So I normally get my aunt a costco GC or 2 cause they arent near enough to justify a membership and generally her and my uncle go in with 1. But reccently they went to docklands costco (9th Feb) and only 1 person could go in with the GC and she had to sign in/register when going in.
Pay a fee to enter a shop, you lot are suckers….
Oh, absolutely! I just love the privilege of paying for the chance to spend even more money. Nothing beats the thrill of flashing my membership card like an exclusive VIP—right before battling a shopping cart traffic jam for a 3Kg tub of peanut butter and a lifetime supply of toilet paper. Totally worth it!
Is hating on Costco a badge of honour for OG Ozbargainers or something? Old mate has 44 comments in nearly 18 years and decided to blow one on this gem.
bro's never had a $2hotdog with a drink… that relish and onion is THE combo
Maybe he had, but now requires membership to buy hot dogs so he's pissed about it.
So, turn it on, get the gift card, then turn it off and wait for the next promotion—just rinse and repeat.
