Costco membership prices are on the rise

DALLAS (KDAF) — Hey, Costco shoppers! Starting September 1st, your beloved bulk-buying retailer is increasing its membership fees for the first time since 2017. Yes, you heard it right—Costco is giving their prices a boost.

For all you Gold Star members, the basic membership is jumping from $60 to $65. And if you’re living the high life with an Executive membership, get ready to shell out $130 instead of $120. But hey, here’s a silver lining: the maximum annual 2% cash back reward for Executive members is bumping up from $1,000 to $1,250. Not too shabby, right?

This latest price hike will hit 52 million memberships, and half of those are the Executive ones. So, start planning your next Costco haul and brace yourselves for a slightly pricier membership card in your wallet.
