A NEW Perk Is Coming Soon to Costco!

According to Business Insider, Costco is bringing back an exclusive perk that could make your next shopping trip to Costco a bit quicker. Haven’t we all wished we could get a Lightning Lane to the check-out lanes at Costco? Well, specific Costco members will be able to take advantage of lower crowds and shorter lines with this perk.

Costco announced that Executive Members will soon be able to start shopping at the discount warehouse an hour earlier than standard members. This perk will be available beginning June 30th and will allow the highest-tier members to enter the store an hour before the store actually opens. It’s basically Early Entry at Costco!

Executive Membership is the highest-tier membership available at Costco. While Executive Members used to have this perk, it was phased out in recent years. Now, it seems that this perk will be returning! A standard membership at Costco, called a Gold Star Membership, will cost you $65 per year. The Executive Membership is double the price, costing $130 per year.

Currently, the Executive Membership will give you a few perks not included in the Gold Star Membership. You get an annual 2% reward on all eligible Costco purchases, up to $1,250 per year. Plus, you can take advantage of additional benefits and discounts on select Costco services.

And now, beginning June 30th, an additional perk will be added to that list when Executive Members can enjoy an extra hour of shopping before Gold Star members are allowed into the store. There will likely be fewer crowds to deal with, and we have a feeling the check-out lines will be much shorter than normal.

You can find a lot of great deals at Costco, and you can often find deals on Disney Gift Cards to use for your Disney vacation and Disney merchandise. Occasionally, you will also be able to find deals on tickets to the parks! Recently, we spotted a deal on 3-Day, Park Hopper tickets for Disneyland Resort. The three-day tickets cost $449.99 and included a $30 Disney Dining Card, park-hopper add-on, and Lightning Lane Multi Pass. We have even spotted deals on Universal Annual Passes at Costco!
