Costco Executive Members Can Enjoy This New Perk Starting June 30

Starting June 30, executive-tier Costco members can shop an hour earlier ahead of standard members. The bulk grocer informed members of the change in a June 11 email that has since been confirmed to outlets likeBusiness Insiderand USA TODAY. Stores will be open for executive members only from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Mondays through Fridays, from 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on Saturdays, and from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Sundays. It’s a smart move to make, especially since certain locations can get super busy in the summertime – not to mention the weekends!

But that’s not the only change coming to executive Costco members – the retailer also announced that executive-level members will start receiving a $10 monthly credit for same-day Instacart orders and around $150 worth of even more savings on Costco’s wide range of member services.

Even if you’re not an executive member at Costco, there’s still one big benefit to come: Costco will begin staying open later on Saturdays for all members, closing at 7 p.m. (This news may differ between certain Costco locations, so it might be a good idea to check directly with the exact Costco location you shop at.)

Being an executive Costco member already earns you many benefits including a 2% reward up to $1,250 annually on qualified purchases and services like home, car, and pet insurance, automobile services, travel deals, and installed products in your home. While a standard membership costs $65 a year, the executive tier costs an additional $65 upgrade fee per year.
