This isn\u2019t a hoarder\u2019s fever dream. It\u2019s Costco: a wholesale warehouse and one of the few spots on Earth where you can get an eye exam, eat a slice of piping hot pizza, and buy a vacuum cleaner in the same place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019d like to join the whopping 105 million people who shop at Costco\u2019s massive stores worldwide, join the club. Literally.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Costco requires shoppers to purchase yearly memberships to take advantage of their full offerings, no <a href=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/coupons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coupons<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/rebates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rebates<\/a> are required. But how much does it cost to be a Costco member? Standard fees will typically set you back at least 60 bucks annually, but it varies. In this guide, we\u2019ll break down the different kinds of membership so you can determine which\u2014if any\u2014is right for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Memberships\"><\/span>Types of Memberships&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once upon a time (about 40 years ago), Costco memberships cost $30 per person, with an additional $15 option to add on a spouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But just like the Delorean and New Coke, these relatively low 1980s prices no longer exist in today\u2019s market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nowadays, Costco offers a handful of memberships that align with different lifestyles and households.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you consider investing in membership, be sure to keep the following two things in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What you do<\/li><li>How you shop&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you a professional window shopper? A big-ticket buyer? Understanding your current shopping habits and daily routines will give you insight into whether the cost of <a href=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/the-best-costco-membership-deals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Costco membership deals<\/a> might be worthwhile.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, we\u2019ll take a deep dive into the options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"615\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1677541687-615x410.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1677541687-615x410.jpg 615w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1677541687-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1677541687-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1677541687.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gold_Star\"><\/span>Gold Star<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Costco\u2019s standard, entry-level membership is the Gold Star.&nbsp; If you\u2019re looking for an everyday option, it could be right for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s what you can expect from a Gold Star membership:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>$60 annual fee<\/li><li>Freedom to shop at all Costco locations worldwide&nbsp;<\/li><li>A second member Costco shop card to share with a member of your household (of 18 years or older)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gold_Star_Executive\"><\/span>Gold Star Executive&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking to take your relationship with the maximalist mecca a step further? Consider springing for a Gold Star Costco Executive membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This membership tier has all of the same perks as the standard Gold Star, with a few key differences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>$120 annual Costco membership fee<\/li><li>2% back on all Costco purchases up to $1000<\/li><li>Exclusive discounts and access to programs like QuickBooks online<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Business\"><\/span>Business<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This kind of membership resembles the standard Gold Star level but comes in handy for business owners.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re buying in bulk to stock your company\u2019s supplies\u2014instead of just your wine cellar\u2014this could be the membership for you. Just make sure to have proof of business ownership when applying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The business members terms include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A $60 annual fee<\/li><li>The permitted purchase of products for resale&nbsp;<\/li><li>The ability to add additional cardmembers for $60 each<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Student_Teacher_and_Military_Offers\"><\/span>Student, Teacher, and Military Offers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re a college student, teacher, or a member of the military, Costco offers special deals on signing up for new memberships.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>College students<\/strong> \u2013 Students receive a $30 shop card when signing up as Gold Star members.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Teachers<\/strong> \u2013 Teachers receive a $30 shop card when signing up as Gold Star members.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Military<\/strong> \u2013 Active duty, retired, and veteran service members, as well as their spouse or dependents, receive a $20 shop card when signing up as Gold Star members.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be sure to read the fine print, though. You must agree to auto-renew your membership to qualify for the coupons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Choose_Gold_Star_vs_Gold_Star_Executive\"><\/span>How to Choose: Gold Star vs. Gold Star Executive&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember when we asked you to contemplate your spending habits before selecting a membership? This is where that thought exercise pays off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the <em>New York Times<\/em>, you need to spend $120 at Costco each week\u2014$6000 each year\u2014to break even on your Executive annual membership fee with the 2% rewards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many shoppers, this level of spending might feel prohibitive. But if you anticipate frequent trips to your local warehouse wonderland, the Gold Star Executive level might be worth the initial investment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"615\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1136336957-615x410.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1136336957-615x410.jpg 615w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1136336957-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1136336957-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1136336957.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Membership_Matter\"><\/span>Does Membership Matter?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For shoppers who shake their heads at the notion of <em>paying<\/em> to shop but still want to peek their heads behind the velvet rope, there are ways to explore the store as nonmembers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Shop with a friend<\/strong> \u2013 Tag along with a pal who\u2019s a member and ask them (politely) to front you the 30-pack of protein bars.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Shop online<\/strong> \u2013 Nonmembers can avail themselves of Costco\u2019s online shop, as long as they\u2019re willing to pay an additional 5% fee.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Shop for liquor<\/strong> \u2013 Because of regulations that prohibit membership requirements for purchases of liquor, you can shop Costco\u2019s broad selection of booze even as a nonmember.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you would like occasional access to <a href=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/the-7-best-costco-membership-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Costco membership benefits<\/a> like in-store shopping but can\u2019t justify a full membership, consider splitting one with a group.
