Can You Get a Costco Membership for $25? What the Canadian Offer Really Is

The Canadian Costco $25 promotion rewards existing members who enroll in auto-renewal for the first time. It is not a discounted membership, and the U.S. offer is different.

No—the current Canadian $25 offer does not buy you a Costco membership. It gives an existing Canadian member a $25 online voucher for enrolling in membership automatic renewal for the first time. New members cannot use it to pay for a membership, and the voucher cannot be used for a renewal.

The offer runs September 28 through October 16, 2026. Costco’s U.S. promotion is separate: it offers eligible new members a $20 or $40 Shop Card, depending on membership tier.

What the Canadian $25 offer actually gives you

Costco Canada’s promotion is a voucher reward for an existing member in good standing who enrolls in automatic renewal for the first time. It is not a lower membership price or a $25 credit toward joining. The terms specifically exclude membership purchases and renewals from voucher use. Costco Canada’s offer terms

Enrollment is open from September 28 through October 16, 2026. The $25 online voucher is emailed to the primary member within two to four business days after successful enrollment, and it expires November 22, 2026. The offer is non-transferable. Costco Canada’s offer terms

How an eligible Canadian member enrolls

  1. Sign in to Costco.ca, or create an account using your membership number.
  2. Choose Renew Membership.
  3. In Set Up Auto Renew Payment, enter the last name and postal code associated with the membership.
  4. Add a Mastercard or Visa credit card, select Use Card for Auto Renew, and submit.

Costco says the card is not charged until the next membership renewal date. You can also ask to enroll at a membership counter at a Costco location in Canada. The account change takes three days to process, so changes must be made more than three days before the first day of the renewal month. Costco Canada’s offer terms

How the voucher works—and where it cannot be used

The voucher requires one online transaction greater than $25, before tax, applicable fees, and shipping unless the quoted price already includes applicable fees or standard shipping. Payment must be made with a Mastercard. It is not a cash-equivalent discount that can be applied to any Costco purchase. Costco Canada’s offer terms

Costco excludes warehouse purchases and purchases through Costco Business Centres and several listed delivery platforms and sites. The voucher also cannot be used for Shop Cards, gift cards, certificates, tickets, travel, tires, memberships, or membership renewals; other product exclusions may apply. Only Canadian Costco members in good standing may redeem it. Costco Canada’s offer terms

Costco’s U.S. customer-service page, published August 29, 2023, says the company does not offer free or discounted memberships. That general statement should be read alongside the current U.S. joining page: the conditional Shop Cards are signup rewards, not a reduction in the published membership price.
