If you spend $6000 a year there at 2% cash back is $120 that would pay the executive membership. That is if the rates don’t increase or the cash back program doesn’t get phased out. That’s $500 a month needed to spend there except your first year (10 mths to get first cash back). For the first 10 months of joining you would need to spend $600 a month to completely cover the next years membership. Doesn’t seem like there’s really any incentive unless the prices are better than stores that don’t require membership. I’m not one to buy in bulk either just to get a deal. I don’t like getting stuck with large amounts of things I will never use or get burned out on and end up throwing away. I also don’t really see any big price difference if any than in other stores if you’re not buying in bulk.
The Basic membership is $65, with no Cash Back, so the first question is whether you would save more than $65/year by shopping at Costco versus shopping elsewhere. The Executive membership is $130, with Cash Back, so the next question is whether that Cash Back cover the $65 increase over the Basic membership. If you spend over $3,250, you would come out ahead with the Executive. You can do the math to figure out if it's worth it for you, but I will say that we are a family of 2 and buy very little "in bulk" and our Cash Back was $148 this year, and that doesn't even include how much we saved versus if we'd gotten the same goods and services from elsewhere. Also, if you get the no-annual-fee Costco Visa card, you get another 2% rebate so if you pay for your Costco purchases with the Costco Visa, you're effectively getting 4% back (2% Executive Cash Back + 2% Visa Rebate).
Yea that’s why he said that if you are going to do those purchases anyway you might as well get a free membership .. plus more people spend more than 500 a Costco a month than you realize lol
I did some research about 4 years ago. I ended up getting the Costco Anywhere Visa. It's been the best for the last four plus years now. I use it on all my purchases. This last time I got around $500 back. Made for a fun trip to Costco last time.
I've been a Costco member for 10 years now, and. after getting the Anywhere Visa a couple of months ago, also decided to upgrade to the Executive membership - 4% back on already lower cost gas, effectively 4% back in store and online (2% exec, 2% Visa)...it's a crazy good deal, and I also use the card for 3% back on dining - I'll easily make back my $120 and then some by using the card, as I don't really buy a ton of stuff at a time at Costco - but I do go there a fair bit.
My complaint is the parking, the food court limited menu, lines in check out always long, the product are always being move around and don’t forget the ppl that goes there are very rude, mean and stuck up ‘A**Holes (WHY?🤷🏽♂️). Sorry to be so blunt.
Not sure if you can get the card anymore depending if you live in the state but I got a Redstone Visa Credit card and it gives me 3% back at whole sale club stores like Costco. The minor drawback is there is spend cap of $7,000. Not sure how many people spend more than $7,000 at Costco every year.
I have all three memberships and There’s a different caliber of people at Costco, Sam’s and BJ’s. Clubs. Costco is Top Notch, BJ’s is older and Sam Club is straight up Red Neck Ghetto. Every club has its perks but Costco is the best in my opinion.
Wow, lovely clip here. I have a lot of unanswered questions as a newcomer in Canada. 1.Can a family be under a Business Executive membership. or can they have different? 2. What is the maximum one could spend i a month and still meetup with the good credit score?. 3,How is the $120 or $60 paid when registering newly? 4. What are the requirement to be eligible for these cards? 5. What are the different between Costco membership cards and Costco Master cards? 6. Are they attached to bank account?
Thanks for the info! I just got the executive membership thinking I just got upsold by the employee. Almost downgraded, but now, I will keep it considering I’ll be there weekly, the 2% makes sense for me.
I'm not sure if there are other credit cards out there, but I obtained a Redstone Visa card that offers 3% cashback at wholesale clubs such as Costco. I've utilized it at Costco, however, be aware that there's a spending limit of $7,000, which could impact your cashback if you're a heavy spender.
I've been working in the membership department at Costco for some time and it's really sad when I see people just with the standard membership spending thousands of dollars and outright refusing to upgrade, like, theyre paying literally hundreds more with the standard membership than the executive!!
@@HldnTudix00 so you would rather spend $60 out of pocket as apposed to Costco not only PAYING your membership fee for you, but also giving you $80 for free? I never understand why some members don’t understand that if your $60 bucks for the basic membership literally goes right down the drain if you shop enough. and by the look of it, a $200 check shows me you take full advantage of Costco. Take my advice. Don’t ever downgrade. Your money will be wasted
@@HldnTudix00 a very sizable amount of costco members do spend more than 10k a year. I definitely am not one of them. At least I hope I'm not. I've never done the math lol but probably not.
Executive Membership, seven minutes door to door, easy annual purchasing amounts for the cash back credit to cover the membership cost. Life is so much simpler just doing 80% of our shopping there.
Before I got my Executive Membership, they would always tell me how much I would save and how it would pay for my membership. With two of us shopping, my first check was about $45 and this year my check is $16. This February, I opened the credit card and I'm already at $76. Mainly gas and a few hotel nights. I will downgrade my membership in October. I received car rental discounts with the regular membership.
If you are booking car rentals/hotels through costco travel you can get 2% as an executive. That’s how me and my husband built up our check. Almost $100 last year so $20 out of pocket for our membership… plus with the visa an extra 3% for travel so 5% all together.
This is complex and confusing. The membership sales representative told me if I got the $120 membership, I’d receive a $30 email coupon, which was an outright lie.
Every now and then Costco does have incentives where you get shop cards. If you haven't received anything go ask at the membership desk. I know sometimes, these can take a while to get shipped to your house.
@@CostcoDude Just joined getting Executive Card yesterday & got a $50 gift card too plus a Big Costco insulated bag with some Kirkland goodies inside. Its only me in the family but a quick walk thru really good quality food with name brands but just about everything under one roof. Incredible place to shop. My car requires premium gas so this is also a great way to save.
@@TheRealMinuteMarket I don't know Costco signup deals that well. This one I just was driving by & wanted to see the inside but signed up because they said I can cancel or knock down my membership anytime.
The executive membership renewal fee increased $10 ($130). However, with the $120 rewards check I got recently the renewal price comes to around $10. Still not a bad deal.
Hi there I do have a question for you. I'm thinking about getting car insurance through connect. So do I have to have the executive membership card to get the discount or can I have the gold card and still get the discount? I'm looking forward to your answer. I'll look every day to see what you have to say thank you. Also I am a new subscriber to you
This is true! I should have specified; my region doesn't sell tobacco and liquor so I wasn't thinking about those items. Thank you for commenting on that! 😊🙏
I want and need a food court membership. I dont need anything at Costco but love the food court. There should be a cheaper membership for just the food court
Unfortunately, this is not unusual. The reason is always different :( The Good news is you can stop by the membership desk and they'll reissue the check for you. They'll just verify your membership and your address and you'll get your check within a few weeks.
Seems like this. Spend $6k and the exec membership will be fully covered. Spend less and it won’t. Most important detail NOT covered is the check limit is $120/yr right?😮
The limit for the 2% cash back is $1000. TBH, the highest check I've ever seen was around $750. If someone only spends a few hundred bucks here and then throughout the year, they don't have to get it and probably shouldn't. We usually see members spend at least $200 per trip, once a week or so... In those instances it's definitely worth it to try it out :)
Know too that your “Cash Rewards” DO NOT ACCRUE! At the end of the year they return to Costco and THEY KEEP THEM. If you object, they tell you you should have read the fine print. I thought the money was mine, as the amount seemed to be growing, $150 first year, $285 year two, $380 year three, then in year 4 it became $124. Then I found out I was an idiot.
Your cash rewards are given to you at the end of your membership year (2 months prior, to be exact) If you have not gotten this money you can request at the membership desk to reissue the check for you. They don't accrue after each year... Just for 12 months.
@ - I get that, I do, and THANK YOU! But I just went to the Dallas CostCo with my last year’s statement and they said no. We will just have to agree to disagree. In all I’m out about $815 give or take. I am not happy.
@@Erin-Thor so you were stashing each check for 4 years and the past checks weren’t valid anymore ? I’m wondering if they show an expiration date or something
Tried the Executive membership several times since being a member. My checks never covered the additional cost. This recent time, I received a check for $10.03 for the 3 months use. So it's like $40 over a year. Downgraded back to the regular membership in advance before my October expiration date. Because of the early downgrade they say the system won't allow them to reimburse me the difference between the 2 memberships. Never again after this.
I have found out that most prices at Costco are the same as Sam's Club. I think both companies have shoppers that go into each other's stores and check the prices and they are very competitive. One thing about Sam's Club is there are more of them.
Costco and Sam's are definitely very very similar in products. I think brand is the main difference. And it is true they have secret shoppers that go check out prices. They do it quite often. In my county there are 3 Sam's clubs and 7 Costco's. So I guess it depends on where you live 🙂
Yes they are; Executive rewards come directly from Costco, whereas the Cit Visa rewards are based exclusively on how and where you use your credit card. The Visa rewards are more likely to be a higher amount than just the Executive membership
With the new entry scanner in CA, the employee told me that my info in my old membership card I got from other country cannot be found and I was not allowed to enter unless I apply for a new membership card. Is this situation that actually Costco's membership data is not shared between other countries except US common?
How about making phone calls from Costco by computer for nonmembers and members? Or something like this ? This is Costco warehouses for nonmembers have one day, free, shopping, cash or visa For members we have specials like ?
you can walk in, but you'll have to go through the exit and head to the Membership desk. Also, make sure you're on the membership side and not the refunds, there are big signs above 🙂👍
@@CostcoDude That is funny because that is EXACTLY what I did & an older guy there redirected me to the Membership Counters. That was yesterday July 3rd & they were very Busy. Can't wait to check things out when there aren't so many people there !
What do you think is the best member ship for 2 people I have a gold membership but it’s up July 2025 should I upgrade to executive or should I just stay with gold
If the spending between the two of you has been over $250 a month since you got your card, or if you're planning on buying more items there for the holiday season (Halloween decorations and candy, thanksgiving food, Christmas gifts) I would definitely upgrade to the executive membership. If you get your rewards check in May and it doesn't pay at least what the upgrade cost, you can still get the remaining balance back, and then you go back to Gold star :)
That would be so awesome!! It would be a no brainer to get the executive. You can always get the Credit card and get 4% too! And that would apply to most gas stations, not just Costco :)
The membership is meant to be per household. So assuming a lot of people live in the house, the second card could go to a parent, a son or daughter over the age 15, or a roommate. So if your friend is a roommate, you can definitely share the membership with him/her.
Great question, there's no minimum to be eligible, but if you want it to be worth it in your favor, you should be spending a minimum of $250 a month, which is not that hard these days, unfortunately
If you get the 120 dollar anual costco membership then I assume you also have the costco credit card. In that case for the executive membership to be worth it, you have to spend more than 6000 dollars a year on your costco card for the cashback to be worth your time.
@@acidgolem2132 spending $6000 a year would be the minimum if you want your membership to be 100% paid. If you spend anywhere between $3-6K/year then your membership will be less than $60 for the following year, which is already less than those who just go with the basic membership. Personally, I spend close to $5k a year at costco, and with a check being around $100 i'll gladly pay the additional $20 +tax for my membership for the nest year, plus i still get all the benefits. Additionally, if you use your Citi card for all your purchases at costco, you're actually making 4% cash back in total, in which case spending $3000 will actually pay for your membership in full :)
Hi man thanks for the information Can i buy the acostco membership (for busines) but i live in iraq And if i could get one can i get annual 2% reward on the minoxidel krikland and discount or free shipping (inside the us) i deal with a shipping company they can ship orders form the us to iraq
All depends on what you Buy there $350 / month on food ALONE is $3700. Add all the other stuff they sell there - Premium gas at a discount / tires / household products / electronics.
This is accurate. Most members spend around $300 per visit, which comes to $3600 per year, by then the executive portion of the membership will be fully paid plus some more, and then one ends up paying less than the Gold Star member :)
I don't believe our systems are set up to send text messages. But you should be getting emails. If you don't, definitely stop by membership and add your email to your account
1. I'm glad you think I'm a young man. (My back and knees beg to differ 😂) 2. Getting a membership at Costco should be as easy as "just get the executive." Unfortunately there are many different scenarios where that actually might not be the best option for someone, so I try to clarify all the differences so you can make an educated decision when you do get your membership. 3. I'm sorry my content is too long for you. But most people appreciate it, and that's enough for me.
This was the first video I made for my channel. I don't know why you think it's incredibly uneducated. Most people are grateful for this video. But it's clearly not for everyone and I'm sorry I've wasted your time. Unfortunately I don't have the power to give it back.
I was there on July 3rd & it was packed with people getting food / meats for the grill. There were a few workers there giving free samples but didn't see the Kirkland hot dog guy there. With all the people there it was overwhelming to shop during my 1st time there. Still managed to get my hands on the Wild Sockeye Salmon & stuffed grape leaves. Really amazing place & the meat counters were probably my favorite.

That would be so awesome!! It would be a no brainer to get the executive. You can always get the Credit card and get 4% too! And that would apply to most gas stations, not just Costco :)
Is this only for spouse
Can I don't share it with my friend?
The membership is meant to be per household. So assuming a lot of people live in the house, the second card could go to a parent, a son or daughter over the age 15, or a roommate. So if your friend is a roommate, you can definitely share the membership with him/her.
Is there a minimum purchase amount that is eligible for the 2% cashback , like annually how much we need to spend in Costco
Great question, there's no minimum to be eligible, but if you want it to be worth it in your favor, you should be spending a minimum of $250 a month, which is not that hard these days, unfortunately
If you get the 120 dollar anual costco membership then I assume you also have the costco credit card. In that case for the executive membership to be worth it, you have to spend more than 6000 dollars a year on your costco card for the cashback to be worth your time.
@@acidgolem2132 spending $6000 a year would be the minimum if you want your membership to be 100% paid. If you spend anywhere between $3-6K/year then your membership will be less than $60 for the following year, which is already less than those who just go with the basic membership. Personally, I spend close to $5k a year at costco, and with a check being around $100 i'll gladly pay the additional $20 +tax for my membership for the nest year, plus i still get all the benefits.
Additionally, if you use your Citi card for all your purchases at costco, you're actually making 4% cash back in total, in which case spending $3000 will actually pay for your membership in full :)
Hi man thanks for the information
Can i buy the acostco membership (for busines) but i live in iraq And if i could get one can i get annual 2% reward on the minoxidel krikland and discount or free shipping (inside the us) i deal with a shipping company they can ship orders form the us to iraq
I just get the basic membership. The car discount isn't aggressive enough.
I have business membership of costco, Can I sell kirkland products on Amazon as business members have reselling options. Your help required urgently.
Thank you for this!
$120 and there’s so many restrictions with the executive membership. You’d have to spend $3,000 to justify having the executive over a gold star 👎
All depends on what you Buy there $350 / month on food ALONE is $3700. Add all the other stuff they sell there - Premium gas at a discount / tires / household products / electronics.
Is the $60 a one time payment or is it broken up monthly?
It's one payment a year
@@CostcoDude ok definitely getting a membership then
We're Costco GUYS!!!
If i spend 400 dollars on groceries for just my wife and I, is a costco membership worth it?
If it's $400 a month, definitely yes! Hey the executive, you'll make money back if you're spending more than $250 a month
We really need to navigate this..lol..😂
Me watching this with no castco in my whole country:
What country??
@@CostcoDude Saudi Arabia
Wow! Well hello from the Americas!
@@CostcoDude Hello🫶🏻💖
Thanks
Thank you
Very informative
Ebt can get membership for cash bag or not
Walmart's Sam Club cheaper then Costco membership
You need to spend around $3,000 to get $60 back
This is accurate. Most members spend around $300 per visit, which comes to $3600 per year, by then the executive portion of the membership will be fully paid plus some more, and then one ends up paying less than the Gold Star member :)
Not worth it he is lying to you
@@gordonyee2627 I'm sorry you feel that way.
Never mentioned free online shipping!
@@gordonyee2627no he’s not
Hi Izzy, can I get a text on my phone one month before my Costco membership auto renew
I don't believe our systems are set up to send text messages. But you should be getting emails. If you don't, definitely stop by membership and add your email to your account

oh boy this young man talk Soo much just talk about the card which one to get
1. I'm glad you think I'm a young man. (My back and knees beg to differ 😂)
2. Getting a membership at Costco should be as easy as "just get the executive." Unfortunately there are many different scenarios where that actually might not be the best option for someone, so I try to clarify all the differences so you can make an educated decision when you do get your membership.
3. I'm sorry my content is too long for you. But most people appreciate it, and that's enough for me.

How do you do a dedicated video with this title while being so incredibly unprepared and uneducated on the topic?
This was the first video I made for my channel. I don't know why you think it's incredibly uneducated. Most people are grateful for this video. But it's clearly not for everyone and I'm sorry I've wasted your time. Unfortunately I don't have the power to give it back.
Forget it it's not worth it I'll just stick to a regular grocery store which is just as good!!!
your confusing! Get to the point already!
Makes no sense at all lol
A rip-off.
I was there on July 3rd & it was packed with people getting food / meats for the grill. There were a few workers there giving free samples but didn't see the Kirkland hot dog guy there. With all the people there it was overwhelming to shop during my 1st time there. Still managed to get my hands on the Wild Sockeye Salmon & stuffed grape leaves. Really amazing place & the meat counters were probably my favorite.
