These are the prices of Costco memberships
After six years, on September 1, Costco raised prices for its Gold Star, Business, and Executive Costco memberships for the first time. Every few years, the company increases prices. It did so in 2011 and again in 2017, but it wasn’t until this year 2024 that another increase was confirmed.
“Our membership fees help to offset operational costs so we can keep our prices low. A modest increase in fees will allow us to bring our members even greater value,” the company said on its website.
Effective September 1, 2024, annual fees have increased by $5 for Gold Star Memberships (individual) and Business Memberships, as well as for additional Business Membership members.
With this increase, all Gold Star, Business and Business Add-On Card members are now required to pay an annual fee of $65 in the United States and Canada. The previous price was $60.
On the other hand, annual fees for Executive Memberships have increased from $120 to $130 (Primary Membership at $65, plus Executive Membership upgrade at $65). To get it, you must first have a Gold Star Membership ($65) and then upgrade your account (plus $65).
