FYI - I went through the membership signup process a couple of times and ended up with going into limbo both times - costco system hung up. Signed up for a costco account and entered the process and it worked!

Your comment cannot be blank.

If anyone is trying to decide between the regular and executive membership, just know/remember you need to spend $3000 in store or online annually (with a few exclusions) for the executive membership to pay for itself/recoup the extra cost. Every dollar after that is profit.

And I believe you can get a refund if you decide halfway through that you definitely won't make it, just in case.
Their scan and go app is phenomenal though. Hate standing in line at Costco like a sucker. Their TP and paper towels are still cheaper than HEB, and better quality too. Bottled water is cheaper as well, if you need bottled water.
FYI for anyone who bit on the $20 card offer last week - no price match on membership promotional offers. I tried on chat with a representative earlier.

Quote from np1050 :
I don't believe every purchase is included in that $3000 either. Gasoline is not included for example

Here are the exact terms:

Reward is approximately 2% of pre-tax purchases (less refunds) of most merchandise purchased through: front-end registers, most ancillary business registers at Costco warehouses and Costco websites in the U.S. and Canada by U.S. and Canadian residents and qualifying purchases made directly from Costco Travel once travel is completed. In the U.S., Rewards are not calculated: (i) on purchases of cigarettes or tobacco-related products, gasoline, Costco Shop Cards, postage stamps, alcoholic beverages in certain states (including Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Vermont), prescription purchases in certain states (including Arkansas, New Jersey, and New York), and at food courts; (ii) on membership fees; (iii) on purchases not recorded through Costco's front-end registers and transactions done on or through websites not hosted by Costco even if accessed through Costco.com, including all business, consumer, and insurance services, the Online Photo Center, and the My Publisher website; (iv) on miscellaneous fees, deposits and taxes, including sales tax and shipping; (v) where prohibited by law or regulation; (vi) on purchases made by anyone other than the account's Primary or Primary Household Cardholder; (vii) as to travel purchases: surcharges, gratuities, trip protection, travel purchased through a third party, upgrades, rental car equipment, resort charges and port charges; and (viii) on certain other categories as determined at Costco's discretion, which may change without notice.

I am assuming there is an 18-month waiting period to become a new member from the date the old membership was canceled.

Quote from ChrisBobson :
You can return it no problem. Idk why the other person said it's the manager's discretion. I've done it quite a few times, no problem, no manager involvement.

This will be Costco location/manager dependent. In order to make a return, they scan your Costco membership card that corresponds to the product purchased. It is all in their system. To do a return without is technically against their procedures, hence in some cases manager approval will be necessary. I have shopped and returned items at Costcos in 10 different states over the years, including some of the busiest in the nation. My brother in law is also the store manager of a Costco. This has been my experience and what he has told me about it as well. Ymmv of course.

I mean, that's what the receipt is for. It makes sense that anything purchased while using a Costco membership, all the benefits stay with that purchase. That's why Costco has no sort of documentation saying it's at discretion.

Whatever you say. The benefits are with the membership. Otherwise what would stop folks from buying a big ticket item, then cancelling their membership, then returning it years later.

I have never once made a return where they did not make me scan my membership card.

So no, your interpretation does not make sense. If you read carefully, their return policy includes this:

*Limitations apply. See the membership counter or Costco.com for details

The devil is in the details.

Yes, limitations on how long to return certain items, like a tv. If they didn't allow returns or resulting in discretion when the membership is over, it would be stated. Stating otherwise without citation from Costco is just spreading misinformation.

You are the one spreading misinformation. You are stating your opinion.

The satisfaction guarantee is a member privilege. Here is your citation. Please stop just making stuff up. Someone may rely on it and then end up stuck.

It's not an opinion. You're literally the one stating an opinion. Nothing in there says what you stated. You're digging in an empty barrel.

It won't matter. They need the member there that purchased it with an account in good standing. A manager would need to over ride this.
I bought from a friend's card but it was still active when I returned with a receipt. She or her card wasn't present at the time of return.
