Costco Wholesale Club is offering a free digital gift card for new customers.

According to the wholesaler’s website, in order to receive the $30 digital shop card, new members must provide a valid email address and set up auto renewal of their membership when they sign up.

New members should expect to receive their gift cards via email within two weeks up signing up for their new membership.

This summer, the retailer took steps to cut out membership sharing at its warehouses nationwide.

Costco said employees will be stationed at self-checkout lines to check member identification cards.

According to the company’s website, anyone with a card can bring up to two guests to the warehouse during each visit, but purchasing items is exclusive to Costco members. Primary members can assign a free household card to one other person in their home.

The retailer said non-members should not get the same benefits as card holders and membership fees play a big role in the warehouse club being able to offer low prices.
