Join Costco, Receive a Gift Card and up to 4,000 Wyndham Rewards Points

Eligible Wyndham Rewards members can earn bonus points and a Costco gift card when they sign up for a Costco membership by September 18, 2026.

Let’s take a look at the details of this promotion and when it would make sense to take advantage of it.

Sign up for a Membership, Get a Costco Gift Card and Bonus Points

As first reported by Frequent Miler, Wyndham Rewards is offering certain cardholders an opportunity to receive a Costco Shop card (what Costco calls a gift card) and bonus Wyndham Rewards points after signing up for a Costco membership by September 18.

A Gold Star membership, which costs $65 annually, grants a $20 digital Costco Shop card and 2,000 bonus Wyndham Rewards points. Meanwhile, an Executive membership, which costs $130 per year, grants a $40 digital Costco Shop card and 4,000 bonus points.

Be sure to use the promo code WYNDHAM26 when enrolling in your membership, and also note that you must pay with a Wyndham Rewards^® Earner℠ Card, Wyndham Rewards^® Earner℠ Plus Card, Wyndham Rewards^® Earner℠ Business Card, Wyndham Rewards Earner^® Premier Card, Wyndham Rewards^® Visa^® Card, or Wyndham Rewards Earner^® Access Card to take advantage of this offer.

Is It Worth It?

While it’s fairly normal to receive a Costco gift card when signing up for a membership through a third-party platform, this promotion also awards bonus Wyndham Rewards points on top of it. We value Wyndham Rewards points at 0.9 cents apiece, meaning 2,000 are worth $18 and 4,000 are worth $36.

If you have one of the aforementioned co-branded credit cards and have been wanting to sign up for a Costco membership, it definitely makes sense to take advantage of this promotion. When you combine the value of the gift card and the bonus points, you’re looking at a significant portion of the total annual cost of the membership — regardless of the tier you choose — that you can claw back.

However, if you don’t have any use for a Costco membership, it’s not worth signing up for a membership just to earn bonus Wyndham points.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve been kicking around the idea of signing up for a Costco membership, this is a fairly solid promo that makes signing up a little more rewarding.

If you have an eligible Wyndham co-branded credit card, remember to sign up by September 18 and use the promo code WYNDHAM26 to claim your Costco Shop card and bonus Wyndham Rewards points.
