Looking for a Free Costco Membership? Here’s How to Get One

Give Yourself a Free Trial

As already stated, you can’t have a free trial of a Costco membership. So you cannot go there and start grocery shopping for free. However, Costco provides a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you’re dissatisfied with your membership or a purchase, you can — with few exceptions — get your money back or return the product. 

Now, you should only do this if you know for sure that you’re not going to use your membership (it’s a bit shady to benefit from it all year and then ask for a refund on day 364), but at the very least you know you won’t be trapped into your membership once you get it.

However, if you do want to stick with it, here’s one way to truly maximize your Costco membership cost:

Buy Gasoline

You’ve probably seen the Costco gas stations with long lines of cars ready to fill up. Those who use a lot of fuel know it’s definitely worth the wait.

To get a better idea of how much money you can save, we’ve checked some fuel savings platforms (such as GasBuddy.com) to compare current gas prices. For instance, some Costco stores had gas for 22 cents less per gallon than the next lowest price.

If you were to refuel with 25 gallons once per week, you’d save $5.5 each time. In a year, it would be a savings of $264, just on gas alone!
