Right - but that's a shipping code.
Really, if you're going to start working this, you should take the free 90 day trial of the expedited shipping. It's UPS overnight. And you don't need a code, since there's no shipping to begin with.
Just put a note in your calendar for 80 days, work the GCs hard, and then cancel. Much better - less downtime.

"Cash back is not offered on fee-free promotional codes."
Yet, some have reported that they still get cash back. But I don't choose to push my luck. I take the free shipping and pay the $3.95.

FYI - here's the email you get when the free period is ending and you need to cancel your free shipping program:
The whole program seems to be targeting people who buy them on behalf of others - like a corporate purchasing department. They reward the people in the department via BigCrumbs and this $25 card.
Your Premium Shipping Plan free trial is about to expire.

I have had to file a missing credit with BC for a legit purchase so I know I for one am not going to chance not earning the CB to save a few bucks.

I got this email too from my Costco Amex but since several have posted that if you don't pay the fee you don't get BC cash back then it would be worthless would it not? Or am I missing something?

But I feel the way you do: not worth losing the war (1.4%) and winning the battle ($3.95).
