We found a new Costco deal: Join now, get a free $50 Costco Shop Card
From exclusive savings on groceries and household essentials to invaluable discounts on gas and travel, a Costco membership can help you save all year long. And of course, no mention of Costco is complete without the legendary $1.50 hot dog and soda combo—a fan-favorite that's held strong for over 40 years (and hopefully 40 more!).
The USA TODAY Shopping team loves to dig up deals for our readers and honestly, this is one of my favorites. Here's the deal:
Groupon has a new offer on Costco memberships that includes a free $50 Costco Shop Card when you sign up for the Gold Star or Executive tier memberships, plus travel perks and an extra $100 off a order of $200 or more when you sign up for an Executive membership.

Get a free Costco Shop Card on Groupon
Now through Sunday, June 22, you can get an annual Gold Star Costco membership on Groupon for $65 and receive a $50 free digital Costco Shop Card to use on future purchases at any Costco location or online.
You can also get the Costco Executive Membership Package for $130 and receive the same $50 Costco Shop Card and $200 Digital Costco Shop Card for Costco Travel, PLUS an additional perk of $100 off a order of $200 or more!
The special Groupon offer is valid for new members or previous Costco cardholders whose membership has been expired for at least 18 months.
The $65 Gold Star Membership is a better option for individuals or families who shop at Costco on an occasional basis or do not require the additional benefits of the Executive Membership. With a lower annual fee, this membership includes access to Costco's wide range of products and services, making it a cost-effective choice for those who do not have substantial spending at Costco each year.

The $130 Executive Membership is ideal for frequent Costco shoppers, offering a 2% annual reward and additional benefits. For those who spend more than $3,000 annually at Costco, the Executive Membership includes major savings through exclusive discounts and promotions. The higher annual fee is counterbalanced by the rewards and benefits, making it a practical option for regular Costco customers.

After you complete your purchase on Groupon's website, you'll receive an email from Costco confirming your membership details. Groupon says to allow up to two hours to receive your confirmation email. Your Costco Shop Card will be emailed within two weeks after sign-up to qualifying members. A physical membership card is not required to shop online or receive your included gift card. To receive a physical membership card, visit the membership counter at your preferred Costco location.
➤Pro-tip: Remember to bring a photo ID with a copy of your Costco or Groupon confirmation email.
The famous $1.50 Costco hot dog has been available in Costco food courts since 1984. The price has never increased and Costco's CFO assured customers that the price would not be impacted by inflation.
