If you renew a Costco membership online...

[thawolfman]

...does the renewal take effect immediately?

 

[PhoenixOrion]

it should.

but better to renew in-store to get the renewal freebies.

 

[thawolfman]

Ah yes, renewal freebies...

Hmm.

 

[Pshawn5]

renewal freebies?

 

[PhoenixOrion]

this year it was a "costco warehouse" canvas-material grocery bag

last year it was coupon for whole pizza!

YMMV for different locations, of course.

 

[Pshawn5]

hrmm interesting. is this if you renew at the front desk? i never got offered any of these items when renewing,but I think that might because I always find out it's time to renew when I'm checking out at the register and they just add it to my total bill.

 

[PhoenixOrion]

yes, wife always goes to the customer service desk and they always have something underneath the desk

....but we always ask "what's renewal gift for this year?" lol.

Please allow 24 hours to process and update your renewal.

costco is a fscking disaster right now

 

[uhohs]

yeah, they put it up 20-30 minutes early and their site got murdered.

 

[Bryophyte]

If you print off the confirmation, it should be good enough for them if you go in before the computer updates locally.

your telling me. It keeps addign it to my cart....then when i check out, it dies and takes it out of mt cart

 

[thomsbrain]

it takes effect at the end of your current membership year. renew now, and you'll be paid through December 2007, rather than through the current date.
