  It says the card has to be issued through American express… Do you think that means that my Westpac issued card is not eligible?

  Wait a day or 2 and they will open it up to bank issued card like the previous 2 promotions ie Westfield and DJ

    Only 2000 on offer so won't last very long. People with multiple or supplementary amex cards are joining more than once. See comments posted on deal.

    You obviously have an issue with anyone negating your ad - learn to write a clear description - many others on here are experiencing the same disappointment I reflected. Most people don't differentiate between a bank issue Amex card, and an Amex issued Amex card. The reality is this offer is by 'Invitation Only', an extremely important fact that you carefully omitted. If anything, your post is deceptive and misleading. Lastly, consider taking a basic grammar course prior to leaving any further commentary.

      Damn, sorry for my obviously criminal behavior being so deceptive and misleading.
      
      Again, I was way too busy 'carefully omitting' details to worry too much about grammar.
      
      But seriously, thanks for the amusement, I feel like I've been in a spy movie now. You need to lighten up.
      
      btw. My view, too much effort on perfect grammar on weekends is uncool. Telling people to take a grammar course on a weekend, also no cool points for you.

This is why I have amex!

Interesting to see this partnership, I wonder if Costco now they are getting more stores will move to the US system and not take credit cards other than Amex and have the branded Amex option with cash back.

It has to be in store right? Or can I join online? There's no Costco in QLD yet, but one imminent
- shink on 07/12/2013 - 11:13

  I believe so
  The terms say this:
  The following are not Eligible Transactions:
  1. Purchasing a Merchant's goods through a third party
  2. Transactions that are subsequently cancelled or refunded
  3. Online transactions.
- tonka on 07/12/2013 - 11:16

  May be there is nothing to lose trying the online signup.
  If Amex doesn't give you the credit you should be able to 'return' the membership if you don't want it.
- rickb on 07/12/2013 - 11:24
  
  You can join online but you have to pick up the membership card from the store.

I did not get an invitation and just registered two cards and got the following emails:

Hi,

You have successfully registered your Card ending in 52002.

Spend $60 in store at Cosco before 24 December 2013 on your registered Card will ensure you are eligible for the $60 credit back. Statement Credits may take up to 8 weeks to issue but generally, they should be credited within 5 business days upon confirmation by the merchant of the Eligible Transaction. Offer terms and conditions apply.

Yours sincerely,
The American Express Network

Great…got 2 Amex cards. Wife has 2 and parents have 1 each. 6 cards for $360. Gonna buy a tv and roll each card $100
- rickb on 07/12/2013 - 11:32
  
  By two cards, do you mean 1 primary card and 1 supplementary or two primary cards? Would be great if I can also register with my wife's supplementary card too.
  - bluebluebird on 07/12/2013 - 11:34
    
    I have primary and 1 supp for my wife … both registered separately and got 2 emails on successful registered.
    - SickDmith on 27/12/2013 - 21:01

    - GregFiona on 27/12/2013 - 21:40
      
      i registered my wife's card and mine(suppl),went to costco last saturday and used both cards(wife is not a member) with my costco membership without problems.$120 have already appeared on our AMEX statement ;)
    - SickDmith on 30/12/2013 - 12:45
      
      Didn't work for my supp card.
      Called Amex and was told this promo is for main card holder only.
      Hm…
    - SickDmith on 30/12/2013 - 12:47
      
      Do you see it as a two separate -$60 transaction on the statement?
    - GregFiona on 30/12/2013 - 18:38
      
      yes, 2 separate transactions but both cards were registered succesfully prior shopping @ Costco

  If you are planning on splitting up the payment as such they will not accept it. They check the card holder name on transactions particularly if you have a non member guest. Good luck!
  - GregFiona on 07/12/2013 - 11:56
    
    Last year i bought a boombox and used my amex, i was not a member back then, just went with my in laws and used their card, no problems at all
    - boost on 07/12/2013 - 12:01
      
      And? Obviously won't happen 100% of the time.
    - GregFiona on 07/12/2013 - 12:55
      
      and? and when 10 days later the boombox failed to turn on, i went back, they refunded the total on my card and then I purchased again a new one from the shelf still using my in-laws membership(mother in law was with me of course)
      I'm not saying it happens everyday but with me it worked twice in a row without problems. that's 100% ;)

Registered my card, will use that to get free membership. Registered MrsDixit's supplementary, will use that to get $60 worth of stuff for free from CostCo. Awesome. Awesome to the max. Now, what are the CostCo bargains?
- WT on 07/12/2013 - 12:05
  
  doesn't supplementary cards have the same number?
  - bluebluebird on 07/12/2013 - 12:26
    
    Not for amex. I just received supp card for my wife amd it has a different number hence I am able to register 2x.
  - MrDixit on 07/12/2013 - 15:57
    
    Ts and cs specially talk about registering supplementary cards separately.
  - spacecowboy on 07/12/2013 - 20:11
    
    They need 2 card numbers to know which transactions relate to the primary or supp cards.

Thanks OP. I've been holding off joining Costco due to its membership fee but I have no excuse now!
"Thank you for registering!
Now that you have registered your Card, the next time you spend $60 or more in store at Costco, American Express will issue you one statement credit worth $60."
- megadeth on 07/12/2013 - 12:41
  
  Believe me that this is a bait to hook you up and you'll be buying a lot of items you do not need just cuz the deal at Costco would be 'not to be missed'.
  
  Woolies and Westfarmers really need to get their act together before there are 50 Costco's across Australia (which would just be a few more years - if large supermarket chains keep ripping up people the way they are currently doing).
  
  However, Costco is not really any good on things like fresh produce, meat etc and there are abundant cheaper alternatives.
  - lostn on 07/12/2013 - 21:24
    
    I went to the new Costco in Ringwood a couple of weeks ago. Bought a membership and didn't find what anything interesting (their range is actually pretty poor for groceries, toiletries and oral care). They didn't have many brands I couldn't get elsewhere. The only mouthwash they had was Listerine. They only sold ONE model of electric toothbrush. I was hoping for some american branded stuff but all they had of that was some candy, and even then you can go to a candy shop which has bigger range than Costco.
    
    Compared to a supermarket, their range of grocery products is inferior. Compared to a HN/JB their electronics range is inferior.
    
    So I asked for a refund. The condition of refund though is that I cannot become a member again for another year…
    
    So I'd have to miss out on this deal unless I got someone else to make the card. Just as well it was limited to AMEX issued cards so I couldn't get in anyway.

Last time I went with my mate on his membership, paid total bill using my card …I would say this would be considered as VALID eligible transaction for CREDIT …Point 3

"Only valid transactions made:
1. On your Registered Card;
2. After the date you register your Card; and
3. Directly in store at Costco in Australia are Eligible Transactions."

Does buying a membership count as the $60 spend, or do you need to spend $60 in-store after buying a membership?
- kasumi on 07/12/2013 - 18:50
  
  Buying a membership counts.
  
  But if you're a member already, then you need to spend over $60 to get $60 credit back
