Costco members get $1,000–$1,250 off on the Certified by Volvo program

Costco has built its reputation on helping members save money on groceries, gas, and travel. However, one of its most valuable benefits often goes unnoticed: the Costco Auto Program.

Costco has teamed up with Volvo to offer members exclusive savings on certified pre-owned vehicles this fall. The limited-time ‘Certified by Volvo’ special runs from September 3 through October 31, 2025.

A closer look at the promotion

During this promotional window, Costco members who purchase an eligible Certified by Volvo 2022–2025.5 model will receive a cash incentive at the time of purchase. Gold Star and Business members qualify for $1,000, while Executive members receive $1,250.

This incentive can be combined with most other Volvo Cars offers (excluding the A-Plan), allowing members to maximize their savings. To qualify, members must register with the Costco Auto Program and present a certificate with their unique promotion code at the dealership.

Requirements for eligibility

To qualify for the incentive, members need to follow a few key steps:

• Membership must be active on or before September 2, 2025.
• Members must register with the Costco Auto Program online or by phone to receive their unique code.
• Vehicle delivery must take place between September 3 and October 31, 2025.
• Only one code may be used per vehicle, with a maximum of two codes allowed per membership during the program.

The offer is not available in Puerto Rico but is honored at all authorized Volvo Car USA dealers nationwide.

What is Certified by Volvo?

Certified by Volvo vehicles go beyond traditional used cars. Each one must pass a comprehensive 170+ point inspection covering everything from the engine and safety systems to electronics and interior features.

To qualify, vehicles must have fewer than 80,000 miles and include a CARFAX Vehicle History Report. Every Certified model comes with a factory-backed 12-month, unlimited-mile warranty that begins after the standard 4-year/50,000-mile new-car warranty expires, or from the CPO purchase date, whichever comes later.

For electric and plug-in hybrid models, Volvo adds an 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty. Plus, 24/7 roadside assistance is included, covering flat tires, towing, lockouts, and fuel delivery.

These protections make Certified by Volvo cars an attractive choice for shoppers seeking confidence, value, and peace of mind.

Costco Auto Program explains the benefits

Jay Maxwell, general manager at Costco Auto Program, explained why the offer comes at the right time. He noted that used car prices are still high and inventory can be limited, which makes the Certified by Volvo special even more valuable.

For Costco members, he said, the program isn’t just about saving money, it’s about peace of mind. Every certified Volvo goes through a detailed inspection, comes with extended warranty coverage, and includes roadside assistance.

Award-winning Volvo models included

This offer covers many models, including several that have recently earned recognition. At the 2024 World Car Awards, the Volvo EX30 was named World Urban Car of the Year; in 2025, the Volvo EX90 won World Luxury Car.

The Volvo XC90 was honored with the 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Volvo’s awards reflect its strong safety, design, and innovation reputation.

For Costco members, this means the vehicles available through the promotion are inspected and warranty-backed, and among the most respected cars in their class.

What members have requested in past promotions?

According to a 2020 press release from GlobeNewswire, based on Costco Auto Program data, the Volvo XC40 was the most requested small premium SUV, and the Volvo XC90 ranked among the top requested midsize SUVs during that promotion.

The report highlighted Costco members’ strong interest in Volvo’s SUV lineup, reflecting the brand’s reputation for safety and design.

Although Costco Auto Program has not yet released updated demand data for 2024 or 2025, past promotions suggest that Volvo SUVs remain popular among members.

How Costco supports the future of driving

Beyond the Volvo program, the Costco Auto Program continues to expand member benefits. In 2025, it launched an EV Marketplace, an online hub with resources about charging, driving range, and incentives for electric cars.

This helps members learn about EV ownership and compare options in one place. In mid-2025, Costco added Executive-tier perks such as early shopping hours and a monthly Instacart credit; core Auto Program benefits remain available to all members.

Together, these changes show how Costco is adapting to the future of driving while keeping its focus on member savings.
