Costco Membership

Costco is open to Costco members only. All businesses, licensed professionals, members of qualified groups and others are eligible to join. The annual membership is $45 for business or individual members. All types of membership include a free spouse card. Costco Wholesale membership cards are accepted at all Costco locations around the world.

The company offers an enhanced category of membership called the Executive Membership. In addition to all of the usual benefits, Executive Members receive additional savings and values on services such as long-distance telephone plans, check printing, travel, mortgage and real estate services and exclusive services such as credit card processing and business financing. Executive Members in the U.S. now get a 2% reward on most of their annual Costco purchases.

In addition to the Executive Member reward program, all Costco members may receive up to 2% back through the American Express Platinum card exclusively for qualified Costco members. While Costco accepts all American Express cards as a payment option, this special card is offered for no additional credit card fee and may be used everywhere American Express is accepted. In addition this card offers many member benefits such as low annual percentage rate, no annual credit card fee, flexibility to carry balances or to pay in full each month and more.

Costco began its online presence in 1995 with an informational Web site and in November 1998 began conducting e-commerce at costco.com. The Web site offers a wide selection of name-brand merchandise and services. Some of the product categories include computers, electronics, floral delivery, jewelry, books, CDs, DVDs, travel and pharmacy. Shoppers that are not Costco Wholesale members will be charged a 5% surcharge over the member's posted product prices.
