A Costco Gold Star membership costs just $65 for a whole year. Plus, you’ll get one additional membership card for a household member who is over the age of 16 and living at the same address.

With an Executive Membership for $130, you’ll get 2% cash back on ALL qualified Costco purchases!

That includes a ton of our favorite items, like Costco’s seasonal and home goods, pre-made meals, and that delectable sheet cake. 🤤 Yes, 2% CASH BACK ON CAKE!!

Plus, they get discounts on more than just in-warehouse goods! Costco has an entire roster of services available to help its members with everything from car loans to identity protection. While these services are open to Gold Star members as well, Executive members may receive lower rates.

And with this Costco membership deal, you’ll have access to Unexpected Items!

Costco’s neat “Unexpected Items” page highlights all the products that–you guessed it! You wouldn’t expect to find at Costco or on Costco.com. They have plenty of useful (and interesting!) items that you probably never knew you needed, and Costco is also a great starting point for finding some gift inspiration.

Since Costco sells such a wide variety of items online that you can get shipped right to you, you can benefit from a membership even if you don’t live close to a Costco location. 🙌

    Has anyone managed to do this as a gift for someone else? It would be a Christmas gift, so it would not be redeemed for awhile…

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Hi Lisa! I’m not finding any details on their site on this offer being eligible to gift. I did find this – “Voucher will be redeemed, and 1-year membership period will begin immediately upon purchase of the voucher.” So it seems that once the deal is purchased through Groupon, the membership becomes immediately active. This offer is valid through December 22nd, so you could check back later and scoop it up a few days shy of Christmas, if that works! ❤️

      I was wondering the same thing! This would be a great gift for my son.

    I am reading this in the rules on groupon: “Valid only for new members and those whose previous memberships (Primary and Household) have been expired for at least 18 months or more.”

    I am assuming that means if I was a secondary card holder less than 18 months ago, I do not qualify.

    Is that how you are reading it?

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Hmm, good question! I’m not finding specific details on which way that might go. I do find this suggestion if it might be helpful to reach out just in case!❤️🤗 – “If you have a question about whether you qualify as a new member, contact the membership counter at your local Costco.”

        Thanks Amber

          You’re welcome! 💕
