Costco Membership Savings Opportunity
Both Groupon and Living Social are offering Costco Membership Package Deals for $60 with a $40 Costco Shop Card and a $40 off an online order of $250 or more coupon to sweeten the deal.
While the typical Gold Star Costco Membership runs $60 per year, the add-on deals of this promo offer savings that more than make up for the annual membership fee.
Before you get too excited, these deals are for new members only.
But, according to the promotion’s language, if you were a member whose membership expired before April 1, 2020, you are eligible for this deal.
Also, if you currently have a membership that expires in the coming months, your spouse, or other household members, could always take advantage of this deal to keep the household’s Costco membership active going forward.
One major aspect of this deal includes the following requirement:
To qualify for the promotional incentives, new members must sign up for auto-renewal of the Costco membership using a Visa® credit or debit card.
Keep this in mind when considering this membership deal.

The $40 Costco shop card itself is an effective savings off the regular Costco membership fee.
Add on the additional $40 coupon toward an online order of $250 or more, and that’s just gravy…if you’ll be making a $250 online purchase, that is.
