If you’ve opened TikTok, Instagram, or X (formerly Twitter) even once this year, you probably know what the Costco Guy is. If you also want to shop while eating chicken nuggets or try the new double chocolate chip cookie, you’ll need a Costco membership. Lucky for you, it’s only $60 a year and right now, you’ll be given a $20 digital store card for your purchases.

What Do You Get With Gold Membership?
A Costco membership will allow you to shop at more than 600 locations in the United States and more than 800 locations around the world. You will be able to use your card at Costco business centers, travel, gas stations, hearing aid centers, optical, pharmacies and, of course, on the Costco website.
The real magic however happens in the warehouses where you can find anything your heart desires. Laundry detergent? I got it. Rotisserie chicken? Indeed. 80″ 4K OLED television? You bet. A hot tub for seven? Yes. And then you can treat yourself after a long day by buying a hot dog for one dollar — the price at which the founder of Costco told a top executive who wanted to raise it, “If you raise a hot dog, I’ll kill you.”
Membership can be shared with anyone in your household. Kid just got his license and wants to drive? Good! Let them work and do some work. Maybe you can entice them with free samples.
As someone who left home years ago, I finally bit the bullet and got myself a Costco membership. I honestly don’t know how I lived without someone. Collecting snacks in bulk is the only way you should buy snacks. The quantity makes it very difficult to eat the whole box of Goldfish in one sitting, yes, something I was dealing with.
Upon registration, a $20 Costco card will be mailed directly from Costco within two weeks of successful receipt. Digital credit is not a one-time use, so you don’t have to spend $20 at one time. Good luck with that. Not because Costco items are expensive, but because there are so many good things you’ll have trouble staying in the double digits each time you go.
Note that this offer is only available to customers in the United States and Puerto Rico and may only be valid for new members or members whose membership has expired for more than 18 months.
