Our Verdict
The $40 back will bring down the membership cost from $60 to $20. If you value the online coupon, it can bring down the cost to less than zero. A number of stacks:
- Dosh is offering $20 back for online Costco membership purchases – you can click through from Dosh, then navigate to the promo page, pay with a Dosh-connected card. (Note: it’s possible that since the price is $59.99 and not $60, as noted in the fine print, it won’t trigger the Dosh cashback.)
You can also go through Rakuten for an extra $10 back.Update: apparently this does not stack with promo code.- There’s a Chase Offer for $10 back on $60 membership purchase, reported by readers. It likely won’t work given the charge will just be $59.99, but it should work for an Executive membership charge of $119.99.
- It’s possible this will stack with the Wyndham promotion for $60 back on Costco membership, if you were targeted for that.
Hopefully the Dosh will track and make this a real moneymaker.
