I'm sure it's been mentioned and buried but extended warranty benefit goes away next month which sucks
Uhh yeah I have an Amex, this is not true lol
I'm sure citi fought hard in the bidding process to beat Amex to get the Costco account. Part of the terms were probably to offer better benefits for the customer....

I do mind it because Cosco is really not a place with great deals. Cosco's prices are actually higher than in other places like Walmart and Target. Plus, you always have to buy more than you need, and with a limited number of name-brand products than other stores. They don't accept credit cards (until now) which makes it even more expensive - at least I can get a 5% rebate at some stores when I shop with credit cards.

And one more thing: you have to fight with other Costco members over parking spaces. I can't believe how people behave in the Costco parking lot. I guess it is because everyone thinks they have paid good money to shop there and that's why they are entitled to behave any way they please. Grrr.

So, it is really not a bargain to shop over at Cosco.

I hate to agree with a West Georgia University fan, but your comment struck me on so many levels. All the best!

It works great for me and family Cheap gas + 4%. If you're an avid shopper you get to know the instant rebate rotation and can get the best deals. I always have my stock pile on hand and refill when the sales hit. I dont use this card exclusively at Costco only. With discover and CFreedom I max out the 5% also when the category applies. Just got the Discover this year and got 10% at Costco. Parking lots can get crazy but I dont mind parking in the back and try to avoid peak hours.

Well, not sure we're talking about the same "university". The one I'm referring to is technically in Alabama, but it's such a second ranked institution that we true Alabamians prefer to assign it to our sister in GA. I'm speaking of course of Auburn University.

Like everything you have to do some homework when shopping. As a big steak eater, I definitely find their steaks and meats of significantly better quality than Walmart and other stores, while having some of the best prices around. I only shop things that I think I will need bulk of and don't expire, like Diapers, Detergents, cleaning products. Also when Costco has a deal on a big electronic item, I would always go with them because their warranty and return policy is really second to none. Another hidden gem about Costco is their Costcotravel website (maybe not as useful now with COVID), but their bundle packages / cruises / all inclusives/ car rentals were most of the time better deals than regular websites like expedia.

When it comes to produce I generally stick to local stores, and typically get a better price on this and also don't throw away so much stuff from expiring for buying in bulk.

I think if you cancel your Costco membership, your Costco Citi credit card will be canceled too.

I think yes. It would be $60 per year. Which is the same price of gold star membership anyway. But its free if you have a gold star membership.

This is a pretty big misrepresentation of Costco. Maybe you're misunderstanding how they work:

Costco has shoppers and they go out and buy set lots of high quality items from manufacturers all over the world (many in the USA). The items they sell are either special editions, one-offs, or regular items with extra features (extra product, an add-on not featured anywhere else, extra warranty, etc).

That's the appeal of Costco- everything is top-notch and premium for the same price as a lot of bargain brands at places like Walmart. You do have to buy in bulk, but that's how you save money. Their meat dept. is fantastic! Also, gas is usually at least .25/gal cheaper than anywhere else.
