Costco Quietly Extended a $1,250 Cadillac EV Deal Most Members Don't Know About

Costco and General Motors are extending a member-only deal on Cadillac EVs into early 2026, giving shoppers a rare chance to stack warehouse-club cash on top of standard incentives. For buyers already looking at a Lyriq or one of Cadillac’s new electric SUVs, the timing is about as friendly as it gets.

How The Costco Cadillac EV Deal Works

Through the Costco Auto Program, eligible members can get a fixed cash incentive on select new Cadillac EVs. Executive members qualify for a $1,250 incentive; standard Gold Star and Business members get $1,000. That money is applied at the dealership on top of any normal GM offers, whether you’re paying cash, financing, or leasing.

The offer covers Cadillac’s core EV line, including the Lyriq and newer models like Optiq and Vistiq, with slightly different timing windows. Some holiday promos wrapped up right after New Year’s, but a follow-on “limited-time special” keeps member incentives running on select Cadillac EVs through March 31, 2026, as long as you, were already a Costco member by the specified 2025 cutoff date, register for the offer with Costco Auto to get a certificate, and take delivery of an eligible Cadillac EV within the program window.

Which Cadillacs Benefit Most

In practice, the headline beneficiary is the Lyriq, Cadillac’s mid-size electric SUV. It sits in the heart of the market on price and size, and the ability to layer Costco money on top of a captive lease program is a straightforward way to pull shoppers out of rival premium brands. At the other end of the lineup, the ultra-low-volume Celestiq plays a different game entirely.

This is happening as U.S. buyers are already shifting their money in Cadillac’s direction. The Costco offer does not change Cadillac’s pricing power at the top, but it does give value-conscious shoppers a nudge toward the EV side of the showroom.

Why The Timing Matters

The broader EV market is in a tricky spot, as interest rates remain elevated, incentives are shifting, and some buyers are hesitating. For GM, partnering with Costco is a way to keep Cadillac’s EV momentum going without cutting sticker prices outright. For Costco members, it’s effectively found money that can offset fees, options, or the first year of insurance on a new Lyriq or its upcoming electric stablemates.

And for anyone already inside the Costco system and considering a Cadillac EV between now and March 2026, ignoring that extra $1,000–$1,250 would simply be leaving leverage on the table.
