Save $40 On A Costco Membership With This Deal
New members can save $40 on a one-year Exclusive Gold Star Costco membership thanks to a new deal from Stack Social.

One of the most popular warehouse clubs, Costco has approximately 129.5 million cardholders and was ranked third in the National Retail Federation’s top 100 Retailers. And thanks to a new deal, you could save up to $40 on a one-year membership.
Gold Star and Business memberships cost $65 annually, while an Executive membership costs $130 annually. The cost represents a recent price increase from $60 and $120, that went into effect September 1, 2024, when Costco raised membership fees for the first time since 2017. If you're interested in becoming a member, but the cost has been holding you back, this deal can help you save $40.
Stack Social is offering a Gold Star Membership + $20 Digital Shop Card for the price of a $65 Gold Star membership. It is also offering an Executive Gold Star Membership + $40 Shop Card for the price of a $130 Executive Gold Star membership.
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 buy a 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.
