“You see, Costco charges a membership fee.”
Yes, they do, but if you use their Credit Card, they give you the following cash back benefits:
“Cash back rewards: Using the Costco Anywhere Visa Card by Citi, you can earn 4 percent cash back on the first $7,000 spent on gas annually (then 1 percent), 3 percent cash back at restaurants and on eligible travel purchases, 2 percent cash back on all other purchases at Costco and Costco.com and 1 percent cash back on all other purchases.”
So in addition to having gasoline prices that are the lowest I’ve seen here, we also get a 4% discount on all the gas we buy each year, which at the moment totals $3,881.04 or a discount of $155.24!
Costco personnel know us by our first name. I guess that means we are getting rebates.
That’s the ticket! Have that card as well, but not sure I’m going to keep it unless I can break even with the annual cost. I think I’m at about $75. You’re well ahead of me. But what’s that card cost, $150? But yeah, all my gas there.
