Costco shoppers, listen up! A new policy is now in full swing, and you might be missing out on exclusive perks. Are you an Executive Member? If so, you're in for a treat! Costco has officially implemented its extended shopping hours specifically for Executive Members. Starting this week, rules are being strictly enforced.
Executive Member Exclusive: Early Bird Gets the Worm (and the Bulk Deals!)
Executive Members now enjoy exclusive access to Costco warehouses before the general membership. That's right, you get a head start on snagging those bulk bargains. The new hours are:
- Monday-Friday & Sunday: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM
- Saturday: 9:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Gold Star and Business members arriving during these hours may be turned away. So, check your membership status before heading out!
Why the Change? Rewarding Loyalty
Costco states this change is to reward their most loyal customers - Executive Members. They represent a significant portion of Costco's sales, and this is a perk designed specifically for them. Think of it as a VIP experience for bulk buying.
Beyond Early Access: More Executive Perks
The early shopping hours are just the tip of the iceberg. Executive Members also enjoy:
- An annual 2% reward on qualified purchases.
- Discounts on Costco services.
- Potential monthly credits on orders placed through Costco's "Same-Day" service or Instacart (check specific details).
So, are you maximizing your Costco membership? If you're a frequent shopper, upgrading to Executive might be worth considering. Don't miss out on those early morning deals!
Also remember that Costco Warehouses were closed on Labor Day, September 1. Happy Shopping!
