For many shoppers, a membership at Costco means bulk groceries, the famous $1.50 hot dog combo, and the popular rotisserie chicken. But limiting your membership to food purchases may mean missing out on hundreds of dollars in potential savings each year.
Beyond warehouse aisles, Costco offers a range of lesser-known services that cover travel, insurance, car buying, home services, and online shopping. Here’s what many members overlook.
More Than a Warehouse Store
A Costco membership acts as an access pass to services that go far beyond groceries. While most members renew annually for household essentials, fewer take advantage of benefits tied to travel packages, vehicle programs, or home discounts.
Travel Packages Through Costco Travel
With Costco Travel, members can book vacation packages, cruises, rental cars, theme park trips, and international getaways. Pricing is typically bundled, which helps avoid surprise add-ons later in the booking process.
Some packages include extras such as resort credits, room upgrades, or transportation. Premium travel experiences are sometimes offered under the Kirkland Signature label. For frequent travelers, these perks alone can offset the cost of membership.
