Costco has kicked off its Memorial Day sales event, offering discounts across a wide range of categories, from electronics and clothing to furniture and wellness essentials. These limited-time deals run through the holiday weekend, with some extending into summer while supplies last.
To take advantage of most of Costco’s deals, a membership is required. Costco offers three membership options. The Gold Star Membership, priced at $65 per year, provides access to all Costco warehouses and online shopping at Costco.com. It includes two membership cards — one for the primary member and another for a household member.
For those seeking additional value, the Executive Membership costs $130 per year and includes all the benefits of the Gold Star Membership. Additionally, Executive members can earn a 2% annual reward of up to $1,250 on eligible Costco and Costco Travel purchases. This tier also offers exclusive discounts on select Costco services, such as auto and identity protection, making it ideal for frequent shoppers.

The Business Membership, also priced at $65 per year, is designed specifically for business owners because it allows for the resale of products purchased at Costco. Like the other tiers, it includes two membership cards — one for the primary member and another for a household member or employee.
Across all membership tiers, members gain access to Costco gas stations, which often provide lower fuel prices, as well as discounted services on insurance, travel packages and optical care.
