In this video, I break down the Costco membership cost and the two main plans you’ll see on the official Costco website: Gold Star Membership and Executive Membership. I walk you through the pricing so you know exactly how much you have to pay per year before you sign up. Gold Star is $65 per year, and Executive is $130 per year. I also point out the basic benefits listed for each plan, so you can compare what you’re actually getting for the money. I explain that Gold Star comes with standard perks like shopping online and in the warehouse, two membership cards, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee, but the perks are more limited compared to Executive. With Executive, you get extra benefits like annual 2% rewards, executive member shopping hours, and a $10 monthly credit, which is why I say it can be more helpful if you’ll use those extras. I also show you how to check the exact pricing for your location by selecting your location on Costco’s membership page or simply searching “Costco membership cost” and opening the “Join Costco” link that redirects you to your area.
