After selling my business, I quit Costco I hen my ‘rewards’ was less than the membership.
Only reason I rejoined is for gas & the Citi card rewards, and have yet to spend a penny in the store in 6 months.
If the card rewards don’t pan out, no way I’ll keep the membership if it doubles since a local gas station is always within less than a nickel of Costco gas prices.
I’m little interested in returning to buying too much crap I don’t need.

Shop smart. Buy only what you will use.
Just our annual purchase of pool chlorine tablets (plus gas} pays for the fee.
Just our savings on cheese is more than the fee. I love their sliced cheddar ($9 for 2#) and we eat a lot of shredded also. A lot cheaper than the grocery store.
We closed our business down at the mall five weeks ago. Heavy hearts. We’d been there for a few years. It was our granddaughter’s dream after graduating from college. Years to build…a weekend to dismantle. The pandemic scared shoppers to death. They disappeared. Plus we had a much publicized massacre at a nearby Walmart a few years ago. Over 25 killed. Given its proximity to the mall, everyone had to shelter in place for hours in the parking lot only to learn the shooter had never been in the mall. They caught him in an apartment complex nearby. It’s been so hard on everyone. That’s why it makes no sense at all for there to be an Antifa or BLM. Ordinary business owners were already suffering.
Our Costco rewards have lessened as well. We’re gonna hang on for a year because we’ve love being members.
Chaos usually does it’s job.
