Tips & Ideas
Costco Executive memberships normally cost $120. That’s how much Gilt is selling it for here, but you get the added bonuses of a $40 Costco Shop card (basically a $40 Costco gift card) and a coupon for $20 off a $200 online purchase.
Executive memberships can be worth it if you spend a lot at Costco because even though it’s $60 more than a standard Costco Gold Star membership, you earn 2% back at the end of the membership year. That means you’ll break even on the additional membership cost when spending $3,000 per membership year, although it’s already break even if you value the $40 Costco Shop card and $20 coupon from this Gilt offer as good as cash.
Before buying this on Gilt, check to see if you have a Gilt Chase Offer on any of your cards. I feel like I saw one fairly recently, but it must’ve expired recently. That’s not to say others haven’t been targeted since then though.
You can also click through to Gilt from a shopping portal – here are the current rates.
You can go for deals for $60 membership, and then upgrade instore to executive. The extra $60 charge would trigger Dosh’s $20 bonus for $60 membership.
I’ve never seen Gilt before, but I have a $25 back on $125 Amex Offer for it.
Ah, that might be what I was thinking of rather than it being a Chase Offer. Shame that it’s for $125 though as it means having to find something for $5+ on Gilt.
