Costco offers military (active, retired and family) over $20 in savings when you join Costco as a new member.
Visit the Costco website for more information about the Costco military discount for new Costco members. Costco will provide you with a $20 Costco Shop Card when you join with proof of your military status.
The Costco Shop Card will be mailed to the address you provided when you joined Costco, provided you enrolled in auto-renewal when you signed up for your Costco membership. The card should arrive in 4-6 weeks after you joined Costco.

This Costco promotion is only valid for new Costco members in the first year of membership. Offer requires members to enroll in auto-renewal when they join Costco.
This offer is not valid for renewals or upgrades of an existing membership. Previous Costco members may qualify as new members only if they have not paid membership fees for the past 30 months.
We took advantage of the military discount at sign-up. When it came time for renewal (and/or upgrading your membership) we asked about additional military discounts. Unfortunately, Costco only offers a military discount on the first initial new member signs up.
Does Costco have a Military Discount for Membership Renewals?
No, unfortunately, the Costco military discount is only available for new Costco memberships.
Make sure to take advantage of this deal when you first sign up for a membership!

Military Veteran says
The military one-time savings isn't anything special. Civilians often get the same offer without the hassle of signing up with the Sheer site–another database that many would prefer to not have their personal info in.
