This offer is a minefield.
$20 for auto renewal, so you have to spend a future $60 to get it
The pods and paper towel are an unknown deal, the sizes are not indicated
The $25 off $250 purchase means even more money spent.
Spending at least $370 to get your money out of this deal ($60 to buy, $60 to renew, $250 to use voucher)

If you were going to buy a membership anyways then go for it, but i see it as a spending trap

In Japan, the hand can be used like a knife.
But this method doesn't work with a tomato...

Is it hard to spend 60$ or 370$ at costco? If you think so come shop with me ill help you

We buy things that we don't need, with money that we don't have, to impress people that we don't like.

How firm are they on the whole spouse thing? Would this work if I wanted to get a card for my girlfriend?

The fine print says:
"The $20 Costco Shop Card* is only given when you enroll in Costco's membership auto-renew program with any Mastercard. "

If I'm understanding it corrrectly, one needs to 'enroll' in the auto-renewal (akin to Amazon's S&S), not necessarily go through with a renewal.

Note "online"....I very rarely buy anything online at Costco. Definitely a bogus voucher since prices are at least 20$ cheaper in store for bigger items.
