The old code expired. Here are the new codes.
Signup at costco.ca and use coupon code
GSWEB17E for a Gold Star Membership
EXEC6E for an Executive Membership
You’ll get a $25 gift certificate which means that you end up paying $30 for a 1 year Costco membership.
This is for new membership only. However there is a trick to get this deal if you’re currently a member. Say you’re the primary member and your significant other is a secondary card holder. When your membership ends don’t renew and have the significant other who was not the primary member apply as the primary member. Got it? 
Just for your information, a lot of people love Costco because it offers rebates, an inexpensive restaurant, bulk quantities (=savings) and 100% customer satisfaction (you can almost refund any item anytime and they will take it back).
Some notes from last time’s comments:
- This is legitimate.
- Don’t apply through a Costco store, get rejected (because you don’t have a physical copy of the coupon) and come back complaining/whining. Just apply through Costco.ca for goodness sake
- This is for Goldstar and Executive membership not business membership.
- When you sign-up it says that you get a $25 in the right side of the box, underneath or beside the $0.01 deducted
The codes are:
GSWEB17E for a Gold Star Membership
EXEC6E for an Executive Membership

Where does one insert the coupon code GSWEB8 – I do not see a spot for it at all unless one signs up first with credit card, etc. and it then appears. Can you let me know?
How do I find more information on aCummins Onan Homesite Power 6500 Portable generator 125020 as advertised in your Summer Savings coupon book? Valid from May 14 to September 2, 2007.

Thank you, please leave a reply.
Please reply before August 15th.
I don’t understand your comment. Please clarify
When do we usually get a new membership code?
Thanks!
Sher
Guess what??? The September code is GSWEB9. Thank you NASA school of rocketry for my discovery…
Is this code still valid (GSWEB9) or is there a new one for October? Thanks!!
This is insane!!! Why would anyone hand over that much money of pure profit to Costco or a Sams Club?
Your not joining a club, but are shopping at a retail store.
You are a customer, a consumer, the life blood of their business.
Would you hand over $50.00 in a year so you can be allowed to go to McDonalds? This is a huge scam. Retailers would have to sell an incredible amount of goods in these ‘low margins’ days just to make that kind of money, but we would just hand it to them as if this is a country club?
Think about it folks.
Thanks Alex.
Well, for those that are interested, the new codes are GSWEB13 for Gold Star and EXEC13 for Executive
I went ti costco.ca and like the first man on this list said i don’e see a place for the code and did not uite understand your description
could you help clarify please
thanks
Where can I find a 20% off in store coupon for Linen and Things??I live in the country and the flyer is not distributed.
Thanks.
Code GSWEB13 still works. Plus if have have Aeroplan membership you can get 1,000 miles for joining.
Thanks
For HAL You have to continue the checkout process until almost the very end and it will ask for coupon code. You put the code in and continue until the end. Hope this helps.
These membership fee’s that Costco and Sam’s Club charge you are the biggest scam. They are retailers, not clubs or resorts. You are customers, not members. Companies make incredible pure profit off of these membership scams.
You already made that point Alex.
I shop there because I can get stuff there, that I can’t find at other places.
I don’t mind paying the membership…if you have a problem with it I don’t really care, you don’t have to shop there, and it will be one less person in line in front of me.
Alex never has anything good to say lol just ignore him
hes grumpy
Hehehehe
Either that or he doesnt come off chipper 
LOL
I’m a primary cardholder, let my membership expire and had no problem using this deal. Got my new cards + cashcard in the mail yesterday.
Oh thankks for letting us know zenbunny!!
Question,
My membership doesn’t expire until February 2008, can i renew it now and get this amazing deal?
Thanks for all your help.
That’s good. Thanks!
From Wikinvest about Costco:
[edit] How Costco Makes Money
Costco’s success is closely tied with membership fee income because of its unique club membership business model. Unlike other retail stores, the majority of Costco’s revenue is membership fees, not merchandise. In 2006 membership fees accounted for 72.8% of profits, while merchandise only made up 7.5% of profits.
Costco can only make a significant percentage increase in profits if they raise membership fees. Membership fees are, and have been, a steady stream of revenue for Costco, which is why customer loyalty is such an important factor to Costco’s success
Ya, ya, ya…
“…the majority of Costco’s revenue is membership fees..”
Think of it as really being a shopping tax. That is really what it is.
How are we members? It’s not a club. It’s a retailer. We are customers. The experience is no different from those who don’t charge what is really a shopping tax.
Then dont shop there then Alex.
Obviously you don’t have a membership..so why should you even care?
Hahah right on Sally, we posted that at the same time.
FYI, I just used GSWEB10 and got the deal…thanks!
LOL GLEN!
Im glad it still worked Gord~
Alex,
If Costco only generates about 8% of their income from sales of goods, and about 73% from memberships, then it stands to reason that they are (most likely) selling for a lower price than the competitors, since retail markup is often 100% or more.
So… if they truly aren’t making a great deal of money off of selling you things… that’s all the more reason to shop there. You’re getting good deals. And thus, it makes the membership worthwhile.
That being said, I still don’t think I get $50/year worth of savings.
Pete
… and, I’d love to know where you saw that on wikinvest.com, because it doesn’t say anything about Costco making more money off of memberships rather than selling goods…?

Tried both the GSWEB10 and GSWEB13 and both don’t work. Anyone have a new code for 2008?
GSWEB14 seems to be the new code.
I just tried all the combo’s of GSWEB1* until it worked
oh ya and to get to that.
fill out the first form with credit card. really you won’t be billed yet your just making an account. Then check the cart, and add the membership if it’s not there.
then checkout. after the shipping… there is a spot for coupon code
then it did the 1 cent thing and showed
“Cash Card Applied $25 Cash Card with Goldstar Membership”
When I enter GSWEB14 I keep getting “coupon is not valid” what am I doing wrong?
GSWEB15 is the new code ( if it doesn’t work anymore, try GSWEB16, GSWEB17 …)
Hi everyone!
Just want to make this clear… so you use the coupon in the coupon section. The $25 GC gets listed on the side and then it gets mailed to you?
I just want to make sure, the $25 doesn’t get taken off right away.
Thanks!
L
Why Costco make so hard to join I assume because of the membership discount. I will not drive to the store and get refused the discount for membership. Phew. To much trouble.
my coupon and membership cards arrived. same day different envelopes.
Good to go.
well cashcard whatever
Does anyone actually save $50 a year shopping there?
does anyone have the new code effetive for Feb 2008 – for Costco reg.
seriously I think I may not save $50 but I eat better quality food then I used to. My same grocery budget gets me just better food. I get much better quality meat, I buy a pork loin or a roast and cut it up vacuum save it and put it in my freezer.
I never used to get steaks like I have now. And pork loin, I never used to have it before, now its my favorite kind of pork ‘chop’.
I don’t buy the giant can of nacho cheeze or the huge tubs of mayonnaise but there really are deals that will save you money like $4 for 1.5kg of cereal… cereal is so expensive at a regular grocery store
does anyone have the new code effetive for Feb 2008 – for Costco?????????????????????????
Cool.
I used the code, it said “$25 GC” on the corner of the form, the $0,01 coupon was taken off…
I received my new Costco card but still haven’t gotten my GC. Has this happened to anyone else? Does the GC take long to arrive in the mail?
I really hope it will come!!
HAHAHA how we ALL knew Alex would start ranting!
RE: Ladena, the $25 Cash Card will arrive. I got mine at the same time though.
*** New Coupon Codes for $25 Costco Cash Card ***
