In this post, we\u2019re going to cover ways you can get Costco membership deals and discounts.<\/p>\n Groupon used to feature a one-year Costco Gold Star membership deal with a $20 Costco Cash Card and exclusive coupons.<\/p>\n It was a new Costco membership package, (so it wasn\u2019t valid for the renewal of an existing membership) valued up to $144.98.<\/p>\n With the deal, you\u2019d pay $60 for a one year Gold Star Membership Package, but it\u2019s valued up to $144.98.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, this deal isn\u2019t on offer anymore with Groupon or LivingSocial.<\/p>\n The first thing is to check back with Groupon and LivingSocial often, as a similar deal might be available in the future.<\/p>\n The internet is a great place to find deals for the warehouse company.<\/p>\n You can find discounts on pretty much everything at the store, which means you can offset the cost of your membership, and sometimes there are membership deals on offer.<\/p>\n The above sites are really great for saving money at Costco.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll find discounts on specific items, and deals that get you a dollar amount or cashback percentage back on your entire purchase, as well as other deals.<\/p>\n You can sometimes find Costco membership deals.<\/p>\n Here are some examples of the deals on offer at the time of writing:<\/p>\n So, like we said, you can get deals on memberships, such as the $20 cash card with executive membership at DealCatcher.<\/p>\n There aren\u2019t always membership deals available though.<\/p>\n However, there are always coupons that get you money off, like the deal from Giving Assistant where you can get $20 off your purchase.<\/p>\n If you got $20 off your purchase, then technically you only paid $40 for your membership.<\/p>\n That\u2019s one of our biggest tips for saving on your membership.<\/p>\n Basically, offset the $60 cost of it by using the coupons, codes, and other deals on the sites we mentioned above.<\/p>\n In just a few purchases, the savings you get will more than cover the cost of your membership.<\/p>\n The company itself offers membership deals to various groups. They have discounts for teachers<\/a>, students and military members.<\/p>\n Costco Teacher Discount<\/strong><\/a>: If you are a teacher, you can receive more than $60 in savings by joining Costco as a new member.<\/p>\n Costco Military Discount<\/strong><\/a>: According to the company, members of the military<\/a> who join the warehouse as a new member can get coupons for free products and other savings, which are valued at more than $60. Active duty, veteran, and retired military members, as well as their spouse or a dependent, are eligible for this offer.<\/p>\n Costco Student Deal<\/strong><\/a>: Students can get a $20 Costco Cash Card when they join the warehouse as a new Gold Star Member online at Costco.com. You\u2019ll need to join UNiDAYS or login to get access to this offer. By the way, if you\u2019re a student, don\u2019t miss out on these awesome discounts for students<\/a>.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, there is no senior discount<\/a> for Costco membership.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a limited time offer by Citi. When you purchase a new membership, Citi will give you a $10 Costco Cash Card. If you an Executive Member, you\u2019ll get a $20 Cash Card.<\/p>\n Here are answers to the few commonly asked questions about the company.<\/p>\n Can I get a free Costco membership?<\/strong><\/p>\n Unfortunately, the company does not offer free memberships. But just like Sam\u2019s Club, Costco also has a great refund policy. If you don\u2019t like what you get after you join, you can cancel your membership at any time. you\u2019ll get 100% of your money back.<\/p>\n How much is a Costco membership?<\/strong><\/p>\n Here are the membership fees as of September of 2019.<\/p>\n You can learn more about each type of membership and the benefits they offer by visiting this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n Can you shop at Costco without a membership?<\/strong><\/p>\n Technically, no, you can\u2019t. But just like there are ways to shop at Sam\u2019s Club with a membership<\/a>, there are ways to do it with Costco as well!<\/p>\n Can I get a day pass to Costco?<\/strong><\/p>\n No, the company doesn\u2019t offer that. But there is a simple \u201chack\u201d that can get you a \u201cday pass\u201d. Ask friends or family members who are members to buy you a Cash Card. You can then use this card to shop at any Costco location.<\/p>\n Is it worth getting Costco membership?<\/strong><\/p>\n It really depends on your situation. In most cases I would say, yes it is worth it, especially if you have a large family and like to buy stuff in bulk. In fact, I would say the membership pays for itself very quickly.<\/p>\n Is Costco really cheaper?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes and no. For most products, I\u2019d say yes, they are cheaper. In fact, Costco is cheaper than Amazon when it comes to many products including baby, pet, beauty and toiletries.<\/p>\n Is it better than Sam\u2019s Club?<\/strong><\/p>\n I wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s better. They each have their own store brands and with good prices. Now, Sam\u2019s Club membership is slightly cheaper at around $45 a year. But if there is no Sam\u2019s around you, Costco will offer the exact same experience and category of products and low prices.<\/p>\n\n
