TL;DR: Pay $130 for a 1-year Costco Executive Gold Star Membership and receive a $40 Digital Costco Shop Card when you redeem online (new members only).
Running errands doesn’t have to feel like…running errands. At Costco, one trip can knock out groceries, tech, clothes, travel planning, and your next eye exam — all in one place.
For $130, you get a 1-year Executive Gold Star Membership — Costco’s highest tier — plus a $40 Digital Costco Shop Card after online redemption. That includes both the standard $65 membership and the $65 Executive upgrade. It’s only available to new members or those who haven’t had a membership in over 18 months, so be sure to redeem online soon (within 30 days, must be by 12/31/25 to qualify).
Here’s what makes the Executive tier smart for forward-thinkers and number-crunchers: you can earn a 2% annual reward on qualified purchases at Costco, Costco.com, and Costco Travel up to $1,250 per year. You also may see deeper discounts on select Costco Services*, like check printing, and certain auto perks like roadside assistance.
Stretch your budget while streamlining errands, and knocking out everyday tasks in one trip. You’ll also get a free Household Card, access to all 500+ Costco locations worldwide, and the ability to shop online or at the gas station without extra fees.
Once you redeem your membership online (required before heading to a warehouse), your $40 Costco Digital Shop Card shows up via email within two weeks. This offer is a solid, practical membership designed for people who appreciate value and don’t mind planning ahead to get it.
Purchase a year-long Executive Gold Star Membership for $130 and get a $40 Digital Costco Shop Card for a limited time.
