Groupon is exclusively offering bonus promo codes that can be used with new annual “Gold Star” Costco memberships (which currently cost $65) or on “Executive” memberships (currently costs $130). The bonus promo codes are either $50 (for Gold Star) or $100 (for Executive) for use on a qualifying purchase (more info. below). This is a nice offer that should more than make up for the most recent Costco membership price increase. Full details and link below.
These offers are available to those who have not yet had Costco membership or their membership expired 18+ months ago (not member renewals or upgrades). Costco almost never offers membership discount promotions or deals like this – so this is an excellent offer if you’re eligible. Read on for more details on eligibility and where to get this Costco membership deal offer.

With this offer, you’d be getting:
- 1 year of the standard Costco “Gold Star” membership for the regular rate of $65/year or 1 year of the “Executive” membership for the regular rate of $130/year.

This promotion expires July 5, 2026 and the promo code expires August 9, 2026, but I’ve seen these get pulled earlier than the stated date. See the full terms at the link.
I’ve been a Costco member for close to 2 decades now and have found excellent value in my membership. There are ways to shop at Costco without a membership, but it’s probably not worth the hassle. Costco’s gas prices (typically 10% lower than elsewhere) alone are worth the cost of membership, and there are a lot of great value from their high-quality store-brand products, including Kirkland Signature alcohol and Kirkland Signature dog and cat food – among others. And, if you’re not happy with your membership – you can get a Costco membership fee refund at any time.
For some of the reasons mentioned above, I tend to prefer Costco versus Sam’s Club. If you’re more of a Sam’s Club person, I’ll also highlight any Sam’s Club membership offers and BJ’s Wholesale Club offers that come up as well.
