Costco Gold Star Membership: $65/yr Plus $50 Digital Shop Card

$65Costco

Costco has 1-Year Costco Gold Star Membership + $50 Digital Costco Shop Card for $65/yr when you join and set up auto renewal on a Visa credit/debit card or Mastercard debit card, which gets you a $50 Digital Costco Shop Card back.

Posted August 3, 2026. Price and availability are whatever the retailer says right now.

New members only — anyone who has held any Costco membership in the last 18 months doesn't qualify
Must enroll in auto renewal using a Visa credit/debit card or Mastercard debit card to get the $50 card
Online sign-up only, and the promotion ends 8/2/26
Gold Star membership includes 2 cards, warehouse access worldwide and member fuel pricing
Executive membership ($130/yr) adds an annual 2% reward and extra travel/services perks, but doesn't come with this $50 card offer

This is Costco's standard new-member hook: pay the normal $65 Gold Star fee and get a $50 Digital Shop Card back, effectively knocking the first year down to $15 — but only if you're a genuinely new member and you let them auto-renew on a Visa or Mastercard debit card. Skip auto-renewal or pay another way and the card doesn't show up. Fine if you were going to join anyway; not a reason to join if you weren't.
