This deal is back through May 12th!!  Head over and get the BEST deal I’ve ever seen on a Costco membership!!

This is pairing two offers together to end up with $49.75 in cash back and a $20 Costco gift card.  Don’t worry this is pretty simple!

Get your Costco Gold Star Membership for Free:

  1. Sign up for a new account with Rakuten (a large cash back shopping site).
  2. After you create your account click to shop at Groupon and earn 15% cash back.
  3. On Groupon search for Costco and buy the Gold Star Membership for $65 with a $20 gift card back

Rakuten is currently offering a $40 bonus for new accounts after you purchase $40+ (which this deal completes for you).  The Groupon deal is also offering a $20 Costco gift card back!

In the end you’ll pay $65 for the membership and then get back:

$40 Rakuten Bonus
$9.75 Rakuten Cash Back
$20 Costco Gift Card
Total back – $69.75

That means really you made $4.75 on the deal!!

Note: If you already have an account with Rakuten you won’t be able to get the $40 bonus. You can still get the cash back though.  That will make the membership $38.50 after the cash back and gift card.
