Do You Have A Costco Card? Make Sure You’re Not Missing Out On These Benefits!

There’s a reason so many people are willing to shell out an annual membership fee to shop at any of the massive Costco warehouse locations across the U.S. and in certain other countries around the world. If you’re one of those members, you probably already know about the exclusive deals on everything from wine to refrigerators … but there are probably at least a few perks that are even more compelling than you realize.

So let’s break down three of the most worthwhile benefits available at your local Costco.

• Fuel: It’s hard to visit a warehouse without finding a line of vehicles waiting to fill up for a lower price per gallon than any of the surrounding gas stations offer. But even if you always stop by these pumps during your Costco visits, you might not realize just how good the gas is. You’ll only find “top tier” certified petroleum, which could provide better performance than fuel with the same grade sold by other companies.
• Gift cards: Whether you’re buying them to give away or plan to use them yourself, gift cards can be a convenient way to purchase just about anything. And you can also save some big bucks if you’re shopping for them at Costco. There’s a range of options available at any time, including a current promotion that offers $100 in IHOP gift cards for just $69.99. That stack of pancakes will taste even better at 30% off!
• Returns: But what if you buy something and decide it’s not right? Unlike many other retailers, Costco offers a particularly generous return policy. Aside from time limits on products like electronics and exceptions for alcohol, cigarettes, and those discounted gift cards, you can pretty much bring back anything, anytime for a full refund.
