Costco’s Gold Star membership is being paired with a $50 Digital Costco Shop Card for eligible new members, according to a Mashable Deals listing.
The offer prices a one-year Gold Star membership at $65 and runs through Aug. 2, the listing says. The card is digital, and the promotion is described as part of Costco’s 50th anniversary.
The current version is a bump from an earlier offer. Mashable Deals says the promotion previously included a $40 Digital Costco Shop Card, while the membership price has stayed at $65.
What the membership covers
A Gold Star membership gives members access to shop at more than 500 Costco warehouse locations across the United States, according to the listing. Members can also shop through Costco.com.
The listing also points to member pricing at participating Costco Gas Station locations and services through Costco Tire Center locations. Those are among the reasons the membership can become part of a regular errand loop for households that use Costco for groceries, household basics, fuel or tires.
The membership includes a Household Card, according to Mashable Deals. That card allows another adult, age 18 or older, who lives at the same address to shop using the membership.
Brands and shopping options
The listing says Costco shoppers can find products from brands including Kirkland Signature, Dyson, KitchenAid and LG in warehouses and online. It does not list specific discounted products tied to the membership offer.
The promotion is aimed at new members who are eligible for the offer. Mashable Deals does not describe the full eligibility rules in the listing, so shoppers should check the terms before buying.
The offer page is presented as a sponsored deal, and the listing notes that StackSocial prices are subject to change. The Aug. 2 deadline applies to the $65 Gold Star membership with the $50 Digital Costco Shop Card promotion, according to Mashable Deals.
For shoppers already weighing a Costco membership, the headline math is straightforward: the membership is listed at $65, and eligible new members receive a $50 Digital Costco Shop Card as part of the limited-time promotion.
