I posted this deal over on SD, but I thought I would share it here as well.
For those looking to join Costco in Houston, I stumbled upon this deal for new memberships.
To promote the opening of the new Galleria location, Costco is offering $25 back in Costco Cash Cards when you join as a Gold Star Member between now and 12/07/08 at one of their Houston locations. Membership is $50/year, so this effectively makes it $25 for your first year membership. All you have to do is print out the following promotional flyer.
Here is the fine print:
Offer expires 12/07/08 and is valid only for non-members for their first year of membership. Limit one Costco Cash Card offer per household and may not be combined with any other offer or coupon. Awareness code: 22529.
Our family’s Sam’s membership expires at the end of the year, so I’ll probably jump on this closer to the deadline. They offer a satisfaction guarantee on their membership, so worst case scenario I sign up and request a refund and they pay me $25 for trying them out.
