Hi Everyone!
So the Gift of Membership deal has come around again this year and some people have already been asking about it. This annual promotion is the only deal I have found for members who need an extra incentive to renew their membership. You can also order the “Gift of Membership” online without any shipping cost.
The Gift of Membership never expires, so if your membership does not renew for a while, you can just hold onto the card and redeem it a couple weeks before the renewal date. Then you can still take advantage of the $25 Online Bonus!
The deal is the same as last year. If you purchase a “Gift of Membership” you will receive a physical voucher with a promotion code that entitles you to $25 off a minimum $100 purchase at Costco.ca. This promotion code is valid until January 31, 2022. I have generally found that shopping online at Costco.ca near Black Friday and Boxing day I can usually find something of interest.
CAN A GIFT OF MEMBERSHIP BE USED TO RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP?
This question comes up every year, especially because this promotion previously mentioned that this promotion was intended for new membership only. However, I have had no problems using this promotion to renew my membership every year. In fact, the “Gift of Membership” card they give you says “Voucher may be used to renew an existing membership”
You just need to make sure you do this before your membership renews. If you don’t know when you membership renews, you can find out by signing in onto the app and clicking on the “Renew Membership tab”

Can I renew my membership early using one of these? My membership cannot be renewed until May, according to costco.ca. Do I have to wait until then, or can I renew in advance? Thanks!
I purchased two gold star memberships for $120 to renew in my executive membership in August, but received only one email of $25. Should receive two? correct?
Can I renew my gold membership with the $60 membership gift card next year? Would I still get $25 voucher?
I renewed my gold membership on November 17th. Am I not entitled to the $25 gift card? X2?
Hi Ian, If you already renewed you are out of luck. You will have to take advantage of this deal next year.
Although you have 2x $25 vouchers, still only 1 $25 voucher will be used per membership. If you try to use the 2nd voucher, it won’t work under same membership.
Hi Peter, If you have a spouse on the membership, they can use their card!
Costco West, so just to confirm –
If I buy 2 Gifts of Memberships in one purchase, I will receive 2 x $25 vouchers; and I can use one $25 voucher toward an online purchase of $100 or more- and my husband (using his card) can make another online purchase using his card with the 2nd voucher. Is this correct? TIA
That’s is right!
So I was looking at the D link WiFi smart water sensor and I went online and can’t find them. I even tried to get them on the Alberta site…any suggestions…thx…Sue
Hi Sue, the Water Sensor a clearance item which is indicated by the price that ends in .97. The prices in store will always be cheaper than the online prices as the online prices include the cost of shipping.
can I gift the $25 voucher to the person who I’m gifting the $60 membership card, or is it specifically for the one who is purchasing the gift voucher? does it matter?
You can give both as gifts. You receive a card for the gift of membership and a voucher with a individualized promotion code for the $25 of $100
What’s the $25-$50? I’m only seeing a $25 bonus.
If you want to renew your Executive Membership, you can buy 2 Gold Star Membership which will give you 2 X $25 vouchers. Then you can renew your executive membership with the 2 Gold Star Cards!
How does this work? Do you need to go in warehouse to complete this?
You can order this online or in-store. If you buy the Gift of Membership through the store, you can use the $25 voucher right away. If you order it online it will take a couple of days for the voucher to arrive.
I have an executive membership. So rather than buying 1 x executive membership and getting a $25 voucher, you can buy 2 x gold memberships to renew the executive and get 2 x $25 vouchers? So sneaky!
*Valid from October 25, 2021 to January 31, 2022
That my friend is a deal breaker.
