Beginning Monday, June 30, Costco members who have the warehouse giant’s Executive Membership card will have early access to its stores.
Costco Executive Members can access warehouses at 9 a.m. daily and will have an exclusive hour of shopping (30 minutes on Saturdays) before the warehouse opens at 10 a.m.
Hours for Executive Members are 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. (Costco is closed for the Fourth of July holiday.) Other new benefits for Costco Executive Members include a $10 monthly credit on same-day or Costco Instacart orders of $150 or more.
There are also new Executive Member benefits on Costco services, including its pet insurance and auto program.
Costco’s Executive Membership costs $130 a year for two membership cards. Executive Member benefits include 2% rewards on Costco and Costco travel purchases and additional Costco service discounts. Costco Gold Star and Business Memberships are $65 per year and include two membership cards.
Here are the hours for Costco members without Executive Memberships:
Costco’s new Executive Member benefits were detailed in a June 11 email to members. For information or to join or upgrade a Costco membership, go to costco.com.
