Incredible deal: Save on Costco Memberships and get a digital shopping card

Let me ask you this. What’s better than a great deal on a Costco Membership? After all, everybody loves to shop at Costco, not only for their desirable prices but an incredible variety of goods. I’ll save you the trouble. The answer is a great deal on Costco Memberships plus the opportunity to earn an in-store digital shopping card. That’s exactly the kind of deal that Groupon is offering right now and in a couple of different flavors. Allow me to explain. From October 28 until December 22, you can purchase a Costco Executive Membership for $130 and get a $45 digital Costco shopping card or you can purchase a Costco Gold Star Membership for $65 and get a $20 digital Costco shopping card.

Why shop these Costco Executive and Gold Star Membership deals at Groupon?

The first thing you may notice is that the prices for the Executive and Gold Memberships are the standard prices. Costco Executive is $130 per year plus applicable sales tax, while Costco Gold is $65 per year plus applicable sales tax. So, the deal itself isn’t necessarily giving you a discount on the membership price, but that’s okay, and here’s why. With the Executive tier, you’re eligible for a $45 digital Costco shopping card and with the Gold tier, you’re eligible for a $20 digital Costco shopping card. That essentially means you’re getting that money back to spend in-store which brings down the total price.

But why buy a Costco Membership? Honestly, have you ever been inside a Costco, because that’s answer number one right there? It’s an incredible experience and everyone should do it at least once. Of course, there are perks you get with your membership that make it worthwhile, too. With Executive you get an annual 2% reward on eligible purchases, you get exclusive Costco services discounts, you can shop online and in warehouses, and you get up to two household membership cards. With Gold, you drop the annual reward and service discounts but get everything else. A membership also gives your household access to Costco and related locations.

Prefer to shop online? No problem. The membership also nets you access to Costco.com, the brand’s online commerce portal. Anything you buy online can be picked up at your local warehouse or delivered right to your doorstep. You can’t beat that. Costco is a fantastic place to get your hands on groceries, outdoor gear, supplies, camping items, electronics and so much more.

Just to reiterate, with this deal, you basically get the Costco Executive Membership for $85 — $130-$45 — and the Costco Gold Membership for $45 — $65-$20. After qualifying, it will take about two weeks to get your digital card, but that’s it. Let’s Cost-co!
