Everything you need to know about Costco Travel — and why I love it for saving money

Costco isn't just the place where you can buy toilet paper in bulk, inexpensive gas, cheap hot dogs and gift cards. You can also book great trips via the company's online travel agency, Costco Travel.

I know, I know: At TPG, we're often staunchly against booking travel through third-party sites , as there can be tradeoffs versus booking directly. But in recent years, I've become a big fan of the travel deals I can find via Costco Travel.

When planning our annual beach trip back in 2022, my best friend found a few options for Mexican all-inclusive resorts on Costco Travel and shared the links with me. I promptly told her we'd probably be better off booking directly and brushed off the idea of booking through Costco — neither of us even had a membership at the time.

However, comparing the prices and benefits at a few of the resorts proved my initial reaction wrong.

I actually got a Costco membership to book the deal since the cost of the membership was less than what we'd save by booking through Costco. We saved around $300 on a three-night stay at TRS Coral near Cancun (one of TPG's best all-inclusive resorts in Cancun ), not including the free hydrotherapy spa circuit and the $241 Digital Costco Shop Card included in the package.

Our stay was fantastic, and I officially became a Costco Travel convert.

If you're curious about how to use Costco Travel to find deals, here's everything you need to know about Costco Travel — and why I love it for saving money on travel.

What is Costco Travel?

All Costco members have access to the Costco Travel booking platform, where you can find and book a wide range of travel — from vacation packages to hotels, cruises and rental cars. You can even book theme park vacation packages to Disney and Universal or specialty vacations such as an African safari.

Once you log in to Costco Travel, you can search for specific dates or destinations or browse through available deals and featured destinations. I personally love perusing the limited-time deals when I know I want to plan a getaway but don't have a specific destination in mind.

Trips booked through Costco Travel are often discounted and/or include perks and benefits you may not get by booking directly or through other booking portals. Usually, a trip booked through Costco Travel will also include a Digital Costco Shop Card (essentially a type of Costco gift card) of varying value.

What travel can you book through Costco Travel?

You can book hotels, cruises, rental cars and vacation packages through Costco Travel. Vacation packages range from hotel-only offers to all-encompassing packages that include airfare, hotel stays and rental cars. You can even build your own package.

However, one thing to note is that you can't book stand-alone flights via Costco Travel. There is an option to book flights through some vacation packages, but if you're only looking for airfare, you'll want to head to Google Flights to check out your options and book.

You can book Costco Travel offers both online and by phone.

Do you have to be a Costco member to use Costco Travel?

Yes. Costco Travel is an exclusive service for Costco members.

There are two personal membership levels: Gold Star and Executive. Gold Star costs $60 per year, while an Executive membership costs $120. The basic membership will give you access to all of Costco's services, including Costco Travel, while the Executive membership also comes with a 2% reward on all Costco (and Costco Travel) purchases.

I've found that the Costco Travel deals alone are worth paying the $60 Gold Star annual membership fee, even though I don't regularly use Costco for my grocery store runs.

Check sites like Groupon for discount Costco memberships, as you can sometimes save on that rate — or get an included gift card that helps offset the cost.

Is Costo Travel worth it?

Costco Travel has its pros and cons, but there are definitely times when it's worth it.

For example, let's look at a five-night stay in Maui in early April. At the time of writing, Costco is currently offering a hotel and rental car package for Hotel Wailea, a Relais & Chateaux affiliated property and one of TPG's favorite Maui hotels .

Here's one cost comparison breakdown of Costco Travel's deal versus booking directly:

Even without including the additional benefits, you're already saving more than $400 via the Costco deal. Add in the value you get from the card, daily breakfast and resort credit (which is more than $1,000 in value if you maximize all benefits), and you're looking at $1,442.45 in savings by booking through Costco Travel versus directly.

And since Hotel Wailea isn't a member of any major hotel loyalty program, booking through Costco Travel wouldn't mean missing out on elite night credits or other loyalty program benefits.

Here's another example — this time for a Universal Orlando theme park trip from June 4-6 for one adult and two children from Houston. The total cost when booking each part (hotel, tickets and airfare) individually came to $2,701.35, while booking it as a package via Costco saved just over $300.

That's a fair amount of savings you could use for some frozen butterbeer or even a new wand inside the Wizarding World of Harry Potter .

When is Costco Travel not worth it?

Not every offer on Costco is worth booking.

For one, you won't necessarily find the same availability on Costco Travel. For example, flights booked through Costco may have some seats blocked off, and certain dates for hotel stays may be unavailable. Additionally, not all rental car companies are bookable through Costco Travel (such as Hertz*, which is my preferred rental car company due to the perks I get through my Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card ).

Plus, some hotel stays have a minimum stay requirement. If you're on the hunt for a long weekend getaway, you may not be able to take advantage of some Costco Travel deals.

Even when you do find availability, you should always price-check what you can find by booking directly or through your credit card travel portal and hotel programs.

After booking our fantastic stay at TRS Coral just north of Cancun through Costco, I looked at booking through Costco again in 2023 when planning our annual beach vacation.

While Costco had a deal available for the same resort, we happened to be booking when the resort chain was having a Mother's Day sale for anyone booking directly. We were able to try out a new TRS resort closer to Playa Del Carmen, TRS Yucatan; we saved more than $100 on an even nicer suite than Costco Travel offered by booking directly (even when considering the Digital Shop Card we would have gotten by booking with Costco).

Something else to consider when booking hotels through Costco Travel is loyalty program rewards and elite status. There are a lot of hotels available to book through Costco Travel that are part of major loyalty programs, from Hyatt Honors to Marriott Bonvoy to IHG One Rewards and more. But booking through Costco Travel — just like booking through most other third-party services such as Expedia — means you likely won't earn loyalty rewards, elite night credits or have any elite night benefits honored.

You'll also have to use Costco customer service if you run into any issues rather than going directly to the brand. This is especially important when considering booking a vacation package that includes flights, given the higher potential for delays or cancellations.

Why I love Costco Travel

I am typically a staunch proponent of booking directly, but Costco Travel is an exception. I've found that the benefits I can get by booking some trips via Costco outweigh the cons (some of which include having to go through Costco for any customer service help or occasionally losing out on elite night credits).

Digital Costco Shop Cards

My favorite thing about booking trips through Costco Travel is the Digital Costco Shop Card I get after booking. The card's value varies from trip to trip (generally depending on how expensive the package you book), but you can get hundreds of dollars back to use at Costco.

The Digital Costco Shop Cards can be used for Costco warehouse purchases (a game changer with grocery prices so high due to inflation), but you can also use them toward future Costco Travel bookings. And remember — Costco doesn't just carry bulk grocery items. You could use a Digital Costco Shop Card to buy a new flat-screen TV for movie nights and game days, a new outdoor patio setup ahead of summer or even Costco Pharmacy prescriptions.

I admittedly don't use Costco for groceries often (buying in bulk doesn't make a lot of sense for someone who lives alone), but I have used shop cards to help pay for Christmas presents and future Costco Travel trips. I've actually been looking into using my most recent Digital Costco Shop Card on a new pair of AirPods and a new TV mount for my living room.

Deals on non-points hotel stays and all-inclusive resorts

When I'm looking at booking a hotel stay at a brand like Hyatt or Marriott, I generally choose to book directly in order to earn elite night credits and points. However, when looking at properties not part of a major loyalty program, Costco Travel is often a go-to anytime I can find a deal.

Costco Travel has a nice deals section, and I usually look there first if I'm not sold on a specific destination for a getaway. While deals found on Costco generally have a narrow booking window, I've found that many offer a lot of flexibility for the actual trip dates.

A few examples of limited-time deals for January include Hotel Wailea from the example earlier in this guide, all-inclusive resorts in Mexico's Riviera Maya, and Disney and Universal theme park packages.

Simplifying group vacations

I'm often the travel planner in my friend group (which makes sense, considering what I do for a living), but not everyone is an avid points and miles user like myself. For group trips where we're splitting the cost of hotel rooms among multiple people, it often doesn't make sense to use points and miles to book.

Costco Travel vacation packages offer a way for all of us to save money, and it makes narrowing down potential destinations and hotels easier. Rather than everyone having to spend hours researching ideas and prices from across the internet — which might be my idea of a fun Wednesday night but isn't for some of my friends — I typically just send them to Costco Travel to see if any of the featured deals catch their eye.

Having reservation information for multiple aspects of a trip, such as a hotel and rental car package, makes sharing and saving the itineraries a breeze.

Bottom line

Whether or not you currently have a Costco membership, you shouldn't dismiss Costco Travel as just another online travel agency.

If you know where to look and are willing to price-check the deals you find, you can save a lot of money with Costco Travel deals. I've personally had a lot of success booking friends getaways to popular destinations like Mexico through Costco. Using the service has helped me save on other expenses with the Digital Costco Shop Card I've gotten with my bookings.

For me, the $60 annual membership fee to Costco has been more than worth it to utilize Costco Travel.

*Upon enrollment, accessible through the Capital One website or mobile app, eligible cardholders will remain at upgraded status level through Dec. 31, 2024. Please note, enrolling through the normal Hertz Gold Plus Rewards enrollment process (e.g. at Hertz.com) will not automatically detect a cardholder as being eligible for the program and cardholders will not be automatically upgraded to the applicable status tier. Additional terms apply.

You can book luxury hotels, cruises, and vacation packages through Costco for a fraction of the cost

Costco offers steep discounts on hotels, cruises, rental cars, and vacation packages for members.
Members can book travel through the Costco Travel website.
Costco offers perks such as waived fees for additional drivers on rental cars.

Your Costco membership can get you more than bulk packages of toilet paper and $5 rotisserie chickens.

If you're a Costco member, you can book hotels, cruises, rental cars, and all-inclusive packages online through Costco Travel .

The Costco Travel website offers vacation packages at luxury resorts in destinations including Tahiti, French Polynesia; Cancún, Mexico; Costa Rica, and Hawaii, and cruises with companies such as Carnival, Royal Caribbean , and Princess, at heavily discounted prices.

When you hear “Costco,” chances are the first thing that comes to mind is the big-box warehouse, a gigantic market where you can get wholesale prices on groceries, cheap home goods, affordable gifts, clothing, and alcohol. Did you also know Costco has an in-house travel agency?

Costco Travel offers vacation packages, hotel rooms, cruises, and rental cars to Costco members.

By taking advantage of the same bulk-purchasing power that it uses in retail, Costco can secure group rates when putting together vacation packages and bundles.

In this post, we’ll go over everything you need to know about Costco Travel and whether or not it can save you money on your next vacation.

There are 2 levels of Costco membership, and you must be a member to use Costco Travel .

Gold Star: $60 per year
Executive: $120 per year

Costco Executive members receive 2% back annually on qualifying Costco purchases, including Costco Travel purchases, up to $1,000 per year. This 2% reward comes as a certificate that can be redeemed for most Costco in-store purchases.

If you spend at least $3,000 per year on Costco purchases, including Costco Travel purchases, you’ll earn enough through the 2% yearly reward to negate the extra cost of the Executive membership.

A Costco membership is required to book vacations through Costco Travel. Costco Executive members can earn 2% in rewards on qualifying Costco purchases, including Costco Travel.

Costco Travel is an online travel agency available to Costco members only. It offers vacation packages, hotels, cruises, rental cars, and theme park and specialty bookings . Interestingly, you can’t book a flight through Costco Travel unless it’s included in a vacation package.

You can access Costco Travel by selecting Travel on the Costco website or by visiting costcotravel.com .

To view prices, you must be a Costco member, and you need to create a Costco Travel account, which is separate from your Costco.com account, before you can book anything. To do this, you just need your Costco membership number and an email address.

Costco Vacation Packages

A Costco Travel vacation package includes a hotel stay with a flight and/or a rental car. Searching for a vacation package works like any other online travel agency you may be familiar with. First, you need to input your travel destination, number of travelers, dates, and departure city.

The search results list, which defaults to Costco recommendations first, is easily filtered and sorted to find exactly what you’re looking for.

The total package price is displayed along with any included extras, such as a Costco digital shop card.

After choosing a package, click on View Deals & Customize . You can see what’s included in the package and select different flights or choose an upgraded room. The cost of your package automatically adjusts based on your choices. Remember that the price and extras, such as the Costco shop card that comes with many travel packages, may change as you alter your options.

Upgrading hotel room on a Costco travel package

Once you finalize the details of your Costco Travel package, you can select whether you want just to pay a deposit or pay for the entire trip. Payments can be made with a Visa or Mastercard . American Express cards aren’t accepted.

While only Visa cards are accepted in Costco stores, you can pay for a Costco Travel package using a Visa or a Mastercard.

We wanted to see how Costco Travel vacation package prices stacked up, so we checked out a few options. These examples include a 7-night package for 2 people, including hotel accommodations and flights.

Costco Travel offered the best packages for the first 2 examples. Not only was the package price the lowest, but Costco’s packages also included airport transfers and Costco shop cards, making them an even sweeter deal.

However, the third package illustrates that Costco Travel isn’t always the best option. In this example, Costco Travel was the most expensive. However, it included a daily breakfast buffet and a walking food tour. The cheapest option was Expedia, but that package was completely nonrefundable, which may not be worth the savings for some travelers.

One thing to look out for when booking a vacation package through Costco Travel is that they sometimes include extras that you don’t really want . If you remove these extras, the price drops, but some packages require you to add an activity.

For example, this European vacation package included a walking food tour in the quoted price.

Included activities in a Costco Travel vacation package

After tour was removed, the price dropped by $582.44 ! That’s a huge price to pay for a walking tour, and it would have been easy to assume it was a part of the package when, in reality, it cost a lot extra.

The bad news is that some vacation packages don’t let you to opt out of an activity . In this example, there were 5 activity options available ranging in price from $582 to $1,590.

This can add a lot of unnecessary costs to a Costco Travel vacation package.

Costco Vacations travel packages include a hotel plus a flight and/or rental car. These packages often offer tremendous savings over booking through other websites or booking each element separately. However, Costco Travel won’t always offer the lowest price, so it’s good to shop around a bit before booking any vacation package.

Costco Hotels

Searching for a hotel through Costco Travel works just like any other online travel agency you may be familiar with. However, the options for booking a hotel without a vacation package are limited .

To begin, click on the Hotels tab on the Costco Travel website and then enter the city, dates, number of people, and the number of rooms.

Results appear on the next screen, with options to filter the list by a specific hotel, hotel chain, area, amenities, member reviews, and ratings. The results list can be sorted by price, but you only see prices if you enter your Costco number.

Remember that when you book a hotel through Costco Travel, you aren’t eligible to earn hotel loyalty points, nor will the hotel recognize any elite status you have . If you’re loyal to a particular hotel chain, such as Hyatt , Hilton , or Marriott , it’s important to weigh any savings against the benefits and points you’d give up.

After selecting a hotel, you can choose a different room, and the price will adjust automatically.

Payment options and cancellation policies can vary based on the hotel and rate you choose, so be sure to read the fine print carefully before you book.

We priced out a couple of hotel stays to see if Costco Travel offered competitive pricing. We found examples of Costco’s price being both higher and lower than the hotel website’s price. You may be able to find a great deal, but it’s not guaranteed.

There are a limited number of hotels you can book through Costco Travel unless you’re booking a package. You may find there are no options even in popular cities and vacation spots, so it can be frustrating to book a stand-alone hotel through Costco Travel.

Costco Cruises

Like many online travel agencies, Costco offers deals, perks, and specials when booking cruises. Sometimes, these can be quite valuable, but as always, it pays to shop around.

If you know more or less what you want, it’s easy to search for cruises on Costco Travel. Just go to the home page, click the Cruises tab, and enter your destination, departure month, specific cruise line (if you have a preference), and duration.

You can also select an option to search for Alaska cruise tours, which combines a cruise voyage and a guided land tour before or after the voyage.

The results page lists every matching available cruise, with options to filter and sort the results. Each result shows the available room types and any included extras, such as a Costco Cash Card (gift card), onboard credit, or discount.

The price listed in Costco Travel’s cruise search results is per person and doesn’t include taxes and fees.

One of the downsides of using Costco Travel to search for a cruise is that you can only search for 1 month at a time . While other cruise booking websites allow you to search by year or any combination of months, Costco Travel requires you to pick a specific month to travel.

When you find the right cruise, you can select your stateroom type, the number of people joining, and even the specific room location. You can also choose to add flights and pre- or post-cruise hotels to a package.

Some cruise lines offer their own credit card with cruise rewards, but a more general travel rewards card like The Platinum Card ® from American Express almost always offers a better value. For more information, check out our full guide to the best credit cards for booking cruises .

You can browse available deals, packages, and popular options if you aren’t set on a specific cruise, date, or region. You find these options by scrolling down on the Costco Travel cruise page, where you can explore by destination, category (such as last-minute cruises or luxury cruises), departure port, or cruise line.

We priced out cruises on Costco Travel and the cruise lines’ websites and found that the cost was usually lower with Costco Travel, especially considering they all came with Costco shop cards.

However, getting accurate pricing on a cruise can be tricky . For example, for the Norwegian cruise, the cost was higher on Norwegian’s website initially, but that’s because it included Free at Sea promotions. With those removed, the cost was the same. Booking through Costco came with a $70 shop card but didn’t give you the ability to add the Free at Sea promotions (which could be very valuable for some guests).

In our research, we’ve found that most cruise booking websites offer the same (or very similar) pricing. The difference is in the extras offered, like a Costco shop card, drink packages, or shipboard credit.

It’s always smart to price out a cruise on multiple websites, and Costco Travel could be a great place for Costco members to start.

Costco Car Rentals

Costco Travel also includes a stand-alone car rental booking feature in addition to letting you rent a car as part of a vacation package.

Unlike some other online travel agencies that offer just about everything under the sun, Costco sticks with 4 big car rental agencies: Alamo , Avis , Budget , and Enterprise.

If you would prefer to get your rental from another company like Hertz or Dollar , you should book directly or use a more inclusive portal like AmexTravel.com or Orbitz .

When renting a car, be sure to use a credit card that comes with car rental insurance . You’ll need to decline the rental company’s collision or loss damage waiver (CDW/LDW) for the credit card insurance to be active. Some of our favorite options, such as the Chase Sapphire Preferred ® Card , include primary coverage.

To search for a rental car, input the pickup and drop-off locations, dates, and times, and then click Search .

Search results are shown in a grid, with the 4 companies as the columns and the various classes of cars available as the rows. The lowest prices for each type of car are shown in red , and the price includes taxes and fees. You can click on any price to see the terms and conditions for that rental.

We did some price comparisons using the metasearch engine Kayak , and we always found lower prices on rental cars through other websites .

That doesn’t mean that Costco will never have the best price, however. Car rental prices fluctuate, so it’s always best to price out your rental on multiple websites before booking.

Costco Travel also offers the ability to book select theme parks and specialty vacations .

Adventures by Disney
Aulani, A Disney Resort and Spa
Brendan Vacations Ireland & Scotland
Disney Cruise Line
Disneyland (vacation packages)
Evan Evans Britain’s Finest Sightseeing Tours
Insight Vacations
Lion World Travel (African safaris)
Luxury Gold
Trafalgar Worldwide Guided Vacations
Walt Disney World (vacation packages)

To book a theme park or specialty vacation package through Costco Travel, you first choose the package type you’re looking for.

Costco Travel Specialty Vacation Packages

Then, you can see each package’s inclusions and details. Each vacation package includes different components, so it’s important to read the details carefully.

Pricing information isn’t displayed until all package components are selected, so it can be a bit tricky to search based on your vacation budget .

For Costco members , using the retailer’s travel service can present an opportunity to save some cash on an incredible vacation. Through negotiated rates with hotels, tour providers, and more, Costco can sometimes offer generous discounts or great added perks.

As always, make sure to compare prices and read all terms. While Costco may offer a price advantage for one service, another portal might win for something else, while direct booking may be the best option for yet another aspect of your travel.

Lastly, if you plan to book a vacation package through Costco and have a Gold Star membership, you might want to consider upgrading to an Executive Membership for an extra $60 a year. The extra 2% rewards could make the upgrade well worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is costco travel.

Costco Travel is a travel booking service exclusively for Costco members. It offers great deals on vacation packages, hotels, cruises, rental cars, and guided tours.

How does Costco Travel work?

The platform can offer competitive prices the same way it offers deals on retail products, and the same way that organizations like AAA can offer lower rates. By leveraging the size of its membership, Costco can ask travel service providers to offer lower prices for its members, driving business toward them in exchange.

Is Costco Travel a good deal?

That depends — it’s always smart to compare prices on your own to see. In some cases, Costco offers a better rate than other travel booking services or booking directly.

However, in other cases, Costco is more expensive or offers fewer options. For example, many hotels can’t be booked unless they are part of a package, and vacation packages won’t offer flights on some airlines, such as Southwest.

Can you cancel Costco Travel bookings?

Sometimes. Just like with any other travel service (or booking directly with a hotel or airline), each reservation can have different terms and conditions. Make sure to read the terms carefully every time you book to see if something can be canceled or refunded.

Can you book Costco Travel without a Costco membership?

No. You must sign up for a Costco membership ($60 to $120 per year) to book services through the Costco Travel portal.

Can I book on behalf of someone else?

Yes, as long as you hold a Costco membership. Just enter the other person’s name when prompted for traveler information.

Costco Travel Review [2024]: Are The Deals Actually Good?

Feeling like booking a trip is a hassle? Then Costco Travel might be your answer! Explore my complete review to see if I think its booking services are worth it!

When booking your future adventures, you want to be sure you use a reputable site and get the best possible deal. Booking with Costco Travel seems like a great way to get a reliable flight, hotel, cruise, or car rental, but does this booking option live up to its brand name?

Travel agencies and websites make booking flights a breeze and often help you find some of the best deals. They make it simple to find the cheapest hotel, flight, or car rental with the click of a mouse.

We've previously reviewed travel agencies and booking sites like Travelocity and Momondo . Still, with Costco coming out with their deals on Travel, I had to find out whether it's worth the money.

Costco is known for its incredible deals, but will you still get them on your travels? Find you all the info I've gathered in my in-depth review of Costco Travel so you're confident when you spend your money!

What Is Costco Travel?

Costco is a wholesale giant that first opened in 1976. Its best known for its incredible deals on furniture, cleaning products, and whole-roasted chicken.

What the average Joe doesn't realize is that since 2000 Costco has been offering the same bulk deals on hotels, flights, cruises, vacation packages, and car rentals.

On the Costco Travel website , you can easily book vacation packages. Costco vacation packages can include flights, car rentals, cruises, and all-inclusive vacations at a fraction of the cost.

Some customers have reported buying separate flights, although Costco Travel is known for offering incredible travel bundles and deals. But booking the rest of the trip with Costco Travel might be cheaper.

What Services Does Costco Travel Offer?

Vacation Packages: Costco offers bundles for travel such as hotels and flights, hotels and car rentals, or all three.
Hotels: A wide range of hotels and resorts.
Cruises: Many different cruise line options with a variety of destinations.
Car Rentals: Rental cars with the same or different drop-off locations.
All-Inclusive Resorts: All kinds of resorts in popular destinations.
Theme Parks: Popular theme parks like Walt Disney World and Universal.

What Are the Benefits of Using Costco Travel?

The teams of buyers who hunt and negotiate to get great deals on peanut butter also get you some incredible deals on travel.

Costco's buying teams have the buying authority to talk to travel vendors and get lower prices on hotel rooms, car rentals, and flights. Then they pass those savings on to you!

Flexible payment options: Flexibility is always a perk, and with Costco Travel you can pay your way by selecting the recurring payment option to cover the cost of your trip.
Kirkland Signature Vacations : If you didn't love the Kirkland brand already, I'm giving you a reason to... You can use this option to find the best value vacations.
Cashback: Executive-level members earn 2% cash back on their Costco travel purchases.
Perks: Executive-level members also get food and beverage/spa credits, room upgrades, and more!

How Does Costco Travel Work?

On the Costco Travel home page, select the travel service you are looking for. Add your dates, departure location, and destination, and find your vacation! After you choose the package, flight, or car rental you want, review the details and finalize your trip.

You can make a reservation without having to create a Costco Travel account. However, creating an account is recommended to manage or cancel your reservations, make payments, and view, print, or email your itinerary.

How Safe is Costco Travel?

Costco is a reputable company, and its travel booking site is as safe as they come. If you have questions about your booking, its customer service is always there to assist you.

Is Costco Travel for Members Only?

Yes, Costco Travel is a service for Costco members only. You can book travel deals with any membership level, although the Costco executive membership gets you those sweet extras.

A Costco membership is anywhere between 60$ to 120$ annually.

What Airlines Does Costco Travel Use for Their Trips?

Although you can't individually book flights through Costco Travel, its all-inclusive trips, and bundles often include airfare, unless you choose a bundle without airfare. Costco Travel has deals that use multiple airlines, such as:

Alaska Airlines
American Airlines
Air New Zealand
Air Tahiti Nui
Air Transat
British Airways
Delta Airlines
Fiji Airways
Hawaiian Airlines
United Airlines

Costco Travel also offers deals from the following car rental companies:

Popular Offering: Cruises

From my research, a lot of people enjoy booking cruises through the Costco Travel platform. If this sounds like you, you can expect to find cruises from the following lines:

Norwegian Cruise Lines
Royal Caribbean International
Disney Cruise Line
Uniworld Boutique River Cruises
Celebrity Cruises
Holland America Line

When you browse cruise options with Costco Travel, you'll find it super easy, so I understand why people enjoy booking cruises here. You'll be able to search by cruise line, deals, destination, or even category.

Costco Travel's Cancellation Policy

Since Costco Travel works with many different airlines and travel partners, so the cancellation policy can vary.

For instance, depending on the airline and type of fare you purchase, you may need to pay change or cancellation fees if you're unable to keep your original plans.

Costco Travel's terms and conditions also mention that if you need to cancel your Costco vacations package, you'd likely pay a supplier fee. This also doesn't cover the flight portion, which would again depend on the airline.

What I Liked About Costco Travel

The exclusive deals.

Costco Travel deals are some of the best deals you can get. They are exclusive to Costco members, a great incentive if you're on the fence about purchasing a membership.

Costco offers fun and unique deals like their Kirkland Signature deals and Buyers Choice Vacations, which are only provided for a limited time.

Convenience

Booking through Costco Travel is as easy as 1, 2, 3! Its website lacks a little sparkle but is straightforward enough for anyone to use. Costco's help center and phone number are also at the top of the page!

Excellent Customer Service

Reviews of Costco Travel say its customer service agents are top-notch and always accessible by phone or email if you have an issue with your booking.

Flexible Payment Options

Who doesn't love the buy now, pay later mentality? With Costco Travel's flexible payment options, avoid paying high credit card interest rates.

What I Don't Like About Costco Travel

For members only.

Costco Travel deals are only for Costco Members, so they wouldn't be the best site to book through if you don't want a Costco membership.

Unlike other travel booking sites, you can't search for fights only. Instead, they come as part of a hotel or car rental package.

Is Costco Travel Worth It?

After doing all the research, I think Costco Travel deserves the hype!

Nowadays, it's hard to find a platform that's convenient and with an array of travel options. Yes, Costco travel can only be enjoyed by Costco members. But, if you think about it, it's definitely worth getting a Costco membership for the discounts you get in return!

A disadvantage is that you can't only book flights, you have to get it as a package, but hey! You're obviously booking a flight to a destination, and you might as well get a packaged deal with a hotel or a car rental.

You don't have to look elsewhere—Costco Travel will save money and time!

My Rating: 4.6/5

More About Kohala Coast

The Kohala Coast of Hawaii Island is more than just a sun-lovers dream. Located 20 minutes north of Kona International Airport, the Kohala Coast stuns visitors with its diverse landscape and cultural treasures. If you find yourself exploring the north coast of Hawaii Island, check out the Puukohola Heiau National Historic Site, the largest heiau in Hawaii. Heiaus are sacred places of worship for Native Hawaiians, and the Puukohola Heiau was commissioned in 1790 by Kamehameha the Great. This massive stone temple was constructed out of hand-carried lava rocks from the Pololu Valley. This National Historic Site has since been carefully restored and welcomes visitors from around the world. The park trail at Puukohola Heiau is about 1/2 mile long and features not only the Puukohola Heiau but the Mailekeini Heiau, Hale o Kapuni and the homestead of John Young as well.

Another historic area worth exploring is the Lapakahi State Historical Park. This partially-restored fishing village is more than 600 years old and helps demonstrate what life was like for Native Hawaiians at that time. Featuring partially-restored hale (houses) and hand-built lava stone walls, the Lapakahi State Historical Park is an excellent stop while staying on the Kohala Coast.

Inward and to the East is the town of Waimea, an area filled with rolling pastures, cattle ranchers and plenty of paniolos (Hawaiian cowboys). This fertile land delights visitors with delicious food, local culture and quaint shops filled with local wares. Drive north toward the town of Hawi and soak in the breathtaking Pololu Valley Lookout. This end-of-the-road stop is worth the drive. Soak in the stunning cliffs and beautiful coastline with its island outcroppings and black sand beach. This day trip offers some of the most spectacular views of Hawaii Island and the beautiful Kohala Coast.

20 Years Helping You Live Richer

Reviewed by Experts

Trusted by Millions of Readers

Ah, Costco! Land of the massive amounts of toilet paper and giant muffins! The mega-retailer is known for its bulk shopping and major deals – so it makes sense that we should all take advantage. And the savings don’t have to slow down when you hit your golden years. In fact, retirees can use some specific strategies to maximize their savings at the popular wholesale store.

Here are 10 shopping strategies that can save retirees big money at Costco.

Shop at Off-Peak Times

“Shop early in the day and early in the week,” shared consumer analyst Julie Ramhold from DealNews . “These are when Costco warehouses seem to be less busy which means you can take your time shopping and be mindful of your purchases rather than just buying whatever to get out of a crowded store faster. If you can be more mindful of what you’re buying, you’re less likely to overspend in general.”

Hitting the store when it’s less crowded allows you to comparison shop, read labels carefully, and avoid impulse buys. Aim for weekday mornings if your schedule allows.

Check Out Travel Packages

Traveling during retirement is a great way to enjoy your newfound free time. Ramhold recommends checking out Costco’s travel packages before booking your next trip.

“As a retiree, you may have more time to travel, but before you hit the road, check out the travel packages offered by Costco. You can find great deals to both domestic and international destinations as well as excellent savings on things like rental cars, flights, and stays at all-inclusive resorts and cruises to make your trip even easier.”

Buy Prescription Eyewear

Purchasing new glasses can be pricey, but Costco offers some affordable options. “If you don’t have insurance, Costco eye exams are pretty affordable, but many Costco locations accept major vision insurance plans. However, it can vary based on your location so be sure to double-check before going this route. Once you have your eye exam taken care of, you can shop for eyeglasses at Costco to find high-quality frames at reasonable prices,” shared Ramhold.

She notes that Costco’s generous return policy extends to prescription eyewear too. “Costco’s 100% member satisfaction guarantee extends to prescription eyeglasses, so if you’re not happy with your new glasses you can return them to your local Costco for a repair, replacement, or refund.”

Get Hearing Aids

For retirees with hearing loss, Costco offers free hearing tests and well-priced hearing aids. Ramhold explains the process:

“You can schedule a hearing test at Costco to get started if you need to, and then once you know whether or not you need hearing aids, you can shop for them at Costco. Even better, the trained staff will help not just with the testing but also the fitting process and follow-up visits, so you won’t have to navigate the situation alone.”

Fill Prescriptions

Costco pharmacies consistently rank as one of the cheapest places to fill prescriptions. While you need a membership to buy most items at Costco, anyone can use the pharmacy. Even if you have insurance, it’s worth price-checking your medications here.

Get Seasonal Flu Shots

Costco offers flu shots at a competitive price, and you don’t need to be a member. Getting vaccinated early in flu season provides the best protection. Many insurance plans cover the full cost of flu shots too.

Free Tech Support for Electronics

Being a senior doesn’t automatically mean you’re not tech-savvy. But some seniors struggle with today’s newfangled technology. Buying electronics at Costco means you get access to free tech support. So if you’re lost trying to figure out your new phone or TV, Costco’s got you covered. Bonus points: Costco extends a manufacturer warranty for up to two years when you buy electronics there.

Costco fans ‘stopped dead in their tracks’ as shopper returned entire 30-person turkey meal for a full refund

Josephine Fuller , Consumer reporter
Published : 12:45 ET, Apr 27 2024
Updated : 4:11 ET, Apr 28 2024
Published : Invalid Date,

COSTCO members shared the most horrific returns they had ever seen at the store, including everything needed for a 30-person dinner.

A Reddit user asked other shoppers in the r/ Costco community about the most shocking returns they witnessed.

A Costco shopper was shocked to see a woman get a refund for a half-eaten turkey dinner (stock image)

The store has a 100% satisfaction guarantee, which means customers can return virtually anything if they say it doesn't meet their standards.

The lenient policy has resulted in some "absolutely nuts" returns, including half-eaten food and items that are decades old .

"I was walking by membership/returns on my way to the food court and noticed not just one, but two whole turkey carcasses," the shopper wrote .

"Along with obviously opened boxes of stuffing, two cans of six-pack (or whatever qty they were in) of cranberry sauce, silverware, plates, etc.

"Basically, the leftovers of a full-on meal and all accessories for 20-30 people, obviously eaten and returned.

"I had to stop dead in my tracks....come to find out, the customer said they 'weren't happy with the purchase,' and per policy, was refunded."

Other Reddit users mentioned a common return that happens after holidays.

"Our Costco started putting up signs every Christmas that all live Christmas tree sales were final," wrote another customer.

"Previously, so many a**hats were returning dead Christmas trees that it forced Costco, insanely accommodating return policy Costco, to make an exception and refuse returns.

"I was surprised when I saw multiple people returning dead trees and amazed when it got to the point that Costco actually changed their policy. Never underestimate the power of selfish, stupid a**holes en masse, I guess."

BUYER BEWARE

Costco keeps close track of what members are returning and how often they are doing so.

Shoppers who abuse the policy could get booted from the wholesale club.

A Reddit user claiming to be an employee explained what happened when a woman was flagged for making too many returns.

"When I worked there, a woman would bring in a bag of oranges where two or three were bad, and the rest were gone," they recalled.

"This happened every month or so."

"After about six months, her account was flagged, and she was given a choice to return her membership or accept the fact that oranges go bad if you don’t eat them fast enough," the post ended.

Membership and store cards on offer from major retailers

Here is a breakdown of the store cards on offer to customers from various retailers and their benefits:

Gold Star Membership : $60 per year, shop all Costco stores and online with two additional cards for your household.
Executive Membership: $120 per year, annual 2% reward, additional discounts and benefits on Costco services, shop online and in-store, and get two additional cards for household use.

Target Circle: A free-to-join reward program allowing users to earn 1% in Target Circle earnings rewards when an eligible purchase is made, access deals and personalized offers, get a birthday gift, and earn a vote to help direct how Target helps out your community.
Target Circle Card: A credit, debit, or reloadable account card that gives users 5% off in-store and online as well as exclusive offers, free two-day shipping, and an additional 30-day returns window. Formerly Target RedCard.
Walmart+ : $12.95 per month or $98 per year with a free 30-day trial. Offers members free delivery, free shipping with no minimum spend, fuel savings, Paramount+ subscription, auto car, Walmart+ travel, returns from home, mobile scan and go in-store, and early access to deals and product releases.

TikToker Caroline ( @trubirdsisters ) worked at Costco for seven years, six of which were in the returns department .

She explained that employees are trained to ensure members aren't "purchasing as much as they are returning."

"Their policy is there for a reason and the reason is - that they are smart.

"They know that you're spending way more than you are returning on average.

"Costco knows that it is advantageous to have that kind of great return policy because it's bringing you back into the store, we take good care of you, you return your item, so most likely you are going to be there and you are going to buy more stuff."

Ticket prices for the Trans-Siberian Railway also depend on the current ruble exchange rate.

Is the Trans-Siberian Railway expensive?

Before starting on your Trans-Siberian Railway adventure you naturally want to know what the entire trip will cost. Although this sounds like a simple question, it is pretty difficult to answer. The Trans-Siberian Railway price of travel depends on the following factors:

Which travel class do I want to use? The price for a first class ticket is about three times the price of a 3rd class ticket
Am I willing to buy the tickets myself and assume responsibility for the organisation of the trip?
How many stopovers do I want to make? The more breaks, the higher the total price.
What sort of accommodation do I want? Will it be a luxury hotel or will a hostel dormitory be sufficient?
What tours and excursions would I like to go on?
What is the current exchange rate for rubles?

Basically, everything from a luxury to a budget holiday is available. If you buy yourself a 3rd Class nonstop ticket at the counter, a few hundred Euros will cover the price. All you will experience is a week on the Trans-Siberian train and will see nothing of the cities on the way. There is, however, any amount of room for upward expansion. Everyone makes different choices about which aspects they are willing to spend money on. I personally prefer to save money on accommodation and railcar class, visit as many cities and do as many trips as possible. To enable better classification of your travel expenses I have contrasted two typical traveler types. In the third column you can calculate the total cost of your own journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that these are only rough estimations and not exact prices.

The all-in costs seem fairly high at first. However, they cover everything and it is quite a long journey taking four weeks. Many people forget to consider that when looking at the list. We should also deduct the running costs for food and leisure at home. I think most visitors to this page will classify themselves somewhere between the two categories, that is around the € 2,000 – € 2,500 range. When comparing these prices with other travel packages, you get the impression that it is hardly worthwhile travelling individually on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that most packages last no more than 14 days and you are herded like cattle through the most beautiful locations.

If you spend less time on the Trans-Siberian Railway you will, of course, pay less. I chose this particular travel length because I prefer not to do things by halves. If you fulfill your dream of travelling on the Trans-Siberian Railway, enjoy it and don’t rush things. But it’s up to you, of course. Try playing around with the form a bit to find the appropriate price for your trip.
