Costco Membership Free £20 voucher

I joined Costco today on a stand in the Port Arcades in Ellesmere Port. The offer they are doing is membership without thaving to provide the usual identification paperwork. And they are giving you a £20 voucher to spend on anything in store. So basically a year's individual membership has only cost me £10 and includes a card for my OH.:T

She said that the offer is not available in store but they are there until Friday and will then be moving elsewhere. This is only for the Chester store but I guess others will be running similar promotions.

If you are local though and would like to join then it is certainly a great deal!:)

    No this is incorrect you can either be a business (which then you can buy certain things non business card holders can't) or work in a certain area. Ive been a member for about 6 years originally it was because i worked in a Bank, but now i think anyone can actually join.

    Because you buy things on a card its fantastic for faulty items as you dont need reciepts because all your buying is linked to your membership card and they dont ask any questions even with items bought over a year old that go faulty. Straight swaps/refunds ;)
