Costco Thanksgiving Coupon Book 11/28 -11/30

Thank you, OP!!

I'm planning on getting a membership, probably executive, at Costco very soon. Does anybody know if there any advantage to getting the membership set up the same day as a first purchase? Such as, do they hand you some extra "deal" for your first purchase, perhaps needing to be used that day?

$300-Sharp Aquos 52" 1080p LCD HDTV

right now, its going for 1500 with 300 off.

does that mean it'll sell for 1200 during those two days?

However if someone refers you, you and that person do get a free pizza (depending on the location).

Details here
Not sure if the executive 2% rebate is available if you use the AMEX trueearnings card.

I don't know if the new Houston location(Richmond Ave.) is still running the promotion now, but you can check with it to see if a new membership card will come with an AX gift card. That was the promotion when it opened three weeks ago.......of course, this only works for you if you live here in the #1 city - Houston

I have a Costco Exec membership and never gotten 2% on my gas purchases...if you look at the T&C on their web-site, gas and food court purchases are excluded.

Rules has changed recently, I know for sure that gas earn 3%, not sure about the food court though.

People seem to be talking past each other. The Costco AMEX card does earn 3% back on gas. The food court may not accept the AMEX (I've only seen people pay cash) but if it does, then it most likely will give 1% back. The Costco executive membership DOES NOT earn 2% Cash Back on food court or gas purchases as mentioned earlier. Here is the exclusions for the 2% back on the Exec membership:

Rewards are not calculated: (i) on purchases of cigarettes or tobacco-related products, Costco Cash Cards, postage stamps, and alcoholic beverages in certain states, including Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan; (ii) on membership fees and purchases not recorded through Costco’s front-end registers, such as services, travel, auto program, and purchases at gas stations and Food Courts; (iii) on third-party insurance payments; (iv) on miscellaneous fees, deposits and taxes, including sales tax; (v) where prohibited by law or regulation; (vi) on purchases made by anyone other than the account’s primary or primary household cardholder; (vii) on certain other categories as determined at Costco’s discretion.


bjigge said: Getting the Costco AMEX card seems like the way to go, whether or not there's an additional gas discount.

The Costco AMEX card does give a gas discount of 3% (excluding gas purchased at warehouse clubs other than Costco, superstores or supermarkets).

So to sum up, if you go whole hog and get the Exec membership and Costco AMEX card you can get 3% off costco gas (only AMEX)and 3% off any purchases at Costco. (2%exec membership plus 1% AMEX)

BigDfromWA said: If you want something extra, check out leverage card. I got a Costco $50 GC thru them, used it to renew my membership a couple months back. You can use the $50 GC towards a new/renewal standard or exec. membership. I just read my quote below, and looks like you can order 2, get two sets of coupons, and use both towards an exec membership. I'll be using them again next time I renew. When I used mine last time, I think I got about $35 value, and didn't use all the Q's.

Here's a quote from their site; "The coupons include 3 FREE items (a rotisserie chicken, a two-pound bag of coffee, and 50 digital prints from their 1-Hour Photo department) and 6 other discounts on Staples including fresh meat, salad, bottled water, cookies and pizza. *One coupon booklet for every certificate purchased."

When I previewed this, looks like FW changed the staple s to a Staples link.

My employer gives us access to a special discount web site and they also offer this Costco membership card for $50 with the same book of free coupons. It clearly states you can buy 2 for Exec membership and I assume get 2 sets of coupons. People at work said they used it with no problem. One person said they avoided sales tax that they would normally pay (about $3.50) so not bad considering the free coupons. I was going to order one soon even though my membership doesn't expire until May.

I let my executive membership expire and just signed up again because they opened a COSCO a couple of miles from my house. They were giving away $10 cash cards for the regular membership and $20 cash cards for the executive membership. I had to sign up as a new member rather than re-activate my old membership to get the $cash card.

The only downside is that most of the clubs don't seem to know that these can be used for renewals, no less to upgrade to executive. However, I did get it to work.
