ohh wait this is exactly why Costco dropped them and it looks like wells Fargo might buy them. Amex will always be known as a business blunder
I hope you have the patience to read but the article explains why Amex is POS

I may have to move away from the amex blue cash card.
So here is my question. If I get executive membership will I get 2% cashback and all the benefits with costco visa particularly "2% cash back on all other purchases from Costco and Costco.com"
Bottom line will we get 2% for executive membership and 2% on visa ?

Costco scares the crap out of other retailers, and its stores are packed as you acknowledged. Imo, one of their better pluses is that they screen products very well. They don't sell crap. Their biggest differentiator is customer service. PriceClub had crappy CS, but Costco CS is legendary.

The 2% executive rebate has nothing to do with whether you have an amex or not.
Costco's costs to accept credit cards as part of its deal with Amex was about 0.6 percent of every purchase, people familiar with the arrangements say, which was pretty cheap for any retailer, but Chenault offered to cut them further.
4% cash back on eligible gas worldwide, including gas at Costco, for the first $7,000 per year and then 1% thereafter (Costco Amex is 3%) (don't buy Costco gas often cause it's a pain and I've been getting better deals with gas station gift cards at a discount coupled with ebay bucks and discounted ebay gift cards. I can also get 3% CB with the card below, so far all gas stations have accepted it, just not Costco gas. I can live with not getting that extra 1% when I pay for gas with a CC.)
3% cash back on restaurant and eligible travel purchases worldwide (Costco Amex is 2%) I have a JCB credit card that gives you 3% back on all purchases, the only problem with JCB is it is on the discover network and is not accepted everywhere, but most large establishments take it
2% cash back on all other purchases from Costco and Costco.com (Costco Amex is 1%) Citi double cash card is going to give you 2% back everywhere you shop and will be used anywhere JCB is not accepted. I'm assuming there should not be a problem using this at Coscto since you can get it as a Visa card
edit- another member pointed out this is a MC, not Visa. Any suggestions on a high CB visa card for all purchases? Or is this Costco card the best deal?
1% cash back on all other purchases Why bother when you are getting 2%-3% with the above cards
Are there any other benefits I may be missing? Agree the downside is I have to carry 2 cards, but slickdealers will put if with carrying more cards then that to maximize savings. For me, 2 cards is no big deal.

Uh- I thought citi doublecash is a mastercard?
Which doesn't work at Costco.
As to the rest, you can get more value with point cards than cashback cards, assuming you travel at all.
