Sign up for a Costco Gold Star Membership for $65 and get a $50 Digital Costco Shop Card*

TL;DR: New Costco Gold Star Members can also get a $50 Digital Costco Shop Card*, and it’s still only $65 to sign up.

If you’re looking for another way to keep costs low, it might be worth giving Costco a try. Gold Star Memberships still cost $65, but if you’ve never had one (or let yours expire by 18 months or longer), then you also qualify for a $50 Digital Costco Shop Card*. Here’s how it works.

Use a valid email address at checkout, because that’s where your Digital Costco Shop Card* turns up about two weeks later. You can spend it online or walk it into a warehouse. Auto-renewal comes switched on by default, but it’s easy enough to turn it off in your account settings if you decide against keeping your membership.

Once you’re in the door at Costco, you can start shopping around for groceries, home essentials, and bulk options that could help you cut down on repeat trips. Costco.com is worth a look too, whether you’re ordering groceries or talking yourself into one of Costco’s vacation packages.

And on your way out, stop at the food court for something hot and cheap. Hot dog meals are still $1.50.
