Costco membership perks people don't use:

Three things in your Costco membership can save you more than the membership itself costs, and I have the actual numbers. One, Costco Next. A separate website most members have never heard of where you buy directly from over 100 brands at pricing Costco negotiated just for members, below what those brands can even advertise publicly. Two that come up again and again as favorites: Dell, priced below what Best Buy or Amazon can advertise, and Anker, where members regularly find 15 to 20 dollars off charging gear. There’s also a K-Beauty skincare section, up to 45 percent off, free shipping, no coupon needed. Ships from the brand, not Costco, you just log in with your regular membership. Two, rental cars through Costco Travel. I booked a trip to St. Louis. Through Costco Travel the car was 191 dollars total. Same car, same dates, direct through the rental company was 250 to over 300 dollars. You also get a free additional driver, no prepay required, and you can cancel right up to your trip date. Direct bookings usually lock you into prepay with no refund. And this works on any membership tier, not just Executive. Three, AT&T exclusive savings. Switch through Costco and save 10 dollars a month per line on Unlimited Premium, plus up to 250 off a phone and a 100 dollar Costco Shop Card. On a family plan with 3 to 4 lines that’s 30 to 40 dollars a month, every month, ongoing. On top of those three: free tire rotation for life, a free hearing test, no-haggle car buying, a 10 percent shop card on home projects, cheaper prescriptions, a free Household Card for your spouse, and the whole membership’s refundable anytime.
