Hey, Costco customers! You might want to know what the company is offering to their customers, mostly to those part of the Executive Membership. The wholesale giant just added new advantages that make being an Executive Member more valuable than ever. From early store access to monthly credits via Instacart and the Same-Day Program, Costco is not making it easier for its rivals.
You can already choose from three types of memberships: Gold Star Membership, Business Membership, and Executive. Costco now rewards its most loyal members with even more benefits, including a 2% annual cashback on qualified purchases. It doesn’t matter if you’re shopping in-store or online because Costco seeks to benefit all its customers who are part of a program by making their shopping experience convenient, saver, and full of what they love. So, let’s find out more about these Costco benefits!
This is for you, Costco Executive Members!
Starting June 30, Costco is giving its Executive Members a serious upgrade: early access to all U.S. warehouses! Now, they can shop starting at 9 a.m., a full hour before everyone else. Why? Because the company knows that its most loyal customers deserve a calmer, easier shopping experience—less crowd, more space, and a head start on grabbing the best deals.
Special hours
Executive Members will be the only ones enjoying the privilege of having special access on weekends:
- Monday to Friday: 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. (exclusive)
- Saturday: 9:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. (an hour earlier than before!)
- Sunday: 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
Whether you’re stocking up for the week or just grabbing a few essentials, these extra minutes can make a huge difference.
That’s not everything…
Did you think Costco was just giving their most loyal customers the benefit of an earlier access to their stores? Not at all! The Executive Membership now packs even more value:
- 2% Annual Cashback – Up to $1,250 back on qualifying purchases.
- Early Store Access – Get in before the crowds.
- $10 Monthly Credit – Spend $150 or more through Costco’s Same-Day delivery or Instacart, and Costco gives you ten bucks back. Every month.
Choose your Costco Membership
We’ve talked about the Executive Membership which is convenient, fast, and now even more rewarding, but there’s a membership for every kind of shopper depending on how much you want to pay for it and what benefits will suit you the most. So, let’s have a look at them:
- Gold Star: it costs $65 per year. This is best for everyday shoppers who want access to stores, online deals, and promotions.
- Business: this membership costs the same ($65) but it’s thought for small business owners who buy in bulk or for resale.
- Executive: although it’s the most expensive ($130), it will easily pay for itself if you often buy. So, it’s great for power shoppers who want early access, cashback, and exclusive credits.
