Offers
Costco emailed the following offer, available by going to a Costco Club location and referring a friend as a new Costco member:
- Refer a friend as a new Costco member and each will receive a $20 Digital Costco Shop Card.
- If they join the Executive membership, you’ll each get a $40 Digital Costco Shop card.
Fine Press
- To receive a Digital Costco Shop Card, you both must provide a valid email address. Referee must set their Costco membership to automatically renew on a Visa® card at the time of registration. If the referee chooses not to sign up for automatic renewal, a Digital Costco Shop Card will not be emailed.
- Valid only for referring members, new members and those whose membership (Prior, Family and Affiliate) has expired for at least 18 months. Limit one per household. Non-transferable and cannot be combined with any other promotion.
- To receive the Digital Costco Shop card, the referee must be signed up for automatic renewal at the time of registration.
- The value of the Digital Costco Shop Card is strictly determined by the membership level chosen by the new signup: If the friend signs up for an Executive Membership, both the Referrer and the Referee will each receive a $40 Costco Shop Card, regardless of the Referrer’s current membership level. If the friend signs up for a Gold Star Membership, both the Referrer and Referee will each receive a $20 Costco Shop Card, regardless of the Referrer’s current membership level.
- You and your guest must refer the Refer-a-Friend program to a Costco representative at the membership counter to receive this promotion. New and existing members will receive their Digital Costco Shop card by email within 2 weeks of signing up. Costco Shop Cards cannot be redeemed for cash.
Our verdict
The referrer and new member will end up (together) $40 on the regular membership which costs $65, or $80 on the executive membership which costs $130.
I assume this would work for anyone who mentions the promotion at a Costco location, YMMV.
