To take advantage of such a display opportunity, the dealer will enter into a separate agreement with Costco Auto Program relating to the vehicle display. GM Canada is not a party to that agreement and has no involvement in scheduling or administering display vehicle information. Do not contact warehouses directly; call Costco Auto Program at 1-800-816-3371.

If your team has a creative idea in marketing the incentive, please send your concept to AutoProgram@CostcoAuto.com for approval. All marketing for this event must either be based on a pre-approved asset or have written permission from Costco Auto Program. Unauthorized use of the Costco Auto Program name or logo is prohibited.

Costco Auto Program will administer various marketing campaigns to support the incentive. This includes print, in-store promotional materials, direct mail, and email campaigns along with digital support on Costco.ca and CostcoAuto.ca, public/media relations, and social media.
