Get $40 to Shop at Costco with This Membership Deal
New members can get up to $40 on a Costco Shop card when they sign up for a one-year Costco membership thanks to a new deal from Stack Social.
Costco is one of the most popular warehouse clubs, with approximately 136 million cardholders. It was ranked third in the National Retail Federation’s top 100 Retailers. And thanks to a new deal, you could get up to $40 back in the form of a Costco Shop card when you sign up for an auto-renewing one-year membership.
Gold Star and Business memberships cost $65 annually, while an Executive membership costs $130. That comes with plenty of perks like bulk pricing on groceries, discounts on services and even members' only rates when you buy home or auto insurance through Costco. You'll also be able to shop at a Costco Business Center if you happen to live near one.
If you're interested in becoming a member, but the cost has been holding you back, this deal can help you get up to $40 of that price back to fund your first shopping trip inside the warehouse store.

Promotions like this typically rotate, but the current deal is running through March 1.
Costco offers competitive prices on any kind of product you can imagine — furniture, food, clothing, etc. — and constantly has special deals and discounts to help you save even more.
However, there is one barrier to shopping at Costco, and that's its membership fee. To shop at a Costco warehouse, as well as to score the best online prices, you’ll need to be a member.
How to save on a Costco membership
Here are all the details. Stack Social's deal can save you money on a one-year Costco membership in the form of a digital gift card reward. With this deal, there are two options to choose from.
Gold Star Membership + $20 Digital Shop Card: The first deal Stack Social offers is a discount on a Gold Star Costco membership. How it works is you'll sign up for an auto-renewing Gold Star membership for $65, and then receive a $20 digital Costco Shop Card by email within 2 weeks of your purchase, effectively bringing the price of a membership to just $45 a year.
With a Gold Star membership, you'll be able to shop at all Costco warehouses and online at Costco.com, receive a membership card for both you and a family member, and enjoy a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, meaning you can return products you don't want for a full refund.
Executive Gold Star Membership + $40 Shop Card: The second deal is on an Executive Gold Star Costco membership. You'll pay $130 for an auto-renewing Executive membership, and then receive a $40 gift card by email, effectively bringing the price of an annual membership to just $90.
With Costco's highest level of membership, you'll enjoy all the benefits of Gold Star members, plus more. You'll earn an annual 2% reward (up to $1,250) on eligible Costco and Costco Travel purchases, as well as benefit from additional perks and discounts on many Costco services.
