00:00Unlocking the lesser-known perks of your Costco membership, we all know Costco is the go-to

00:05place for bulk shopping and that iconic $1.50 hot dog you grab after checkout.

00:11But did you know that your Costco membership opens the door to a whole world of benefits

00:16that extend far beyond your weekly grocery run? It's true, being a Costco member comes

00:21with some surprising advantages that you might not be fully utilizing. With memberships starting

00:26at $65 per year for a Gold Star membership, and the ability to cancel and request a refund if you

00:33change your mind, it's definitely worth exploring these additional perks. Here are some of those

00:38lesser-known benefits that truly add value to your membership. Kirkland Signature Products

00:43Many store-brand products are often seen as lower quality, but Costco's Kirkland Signature

00:49items are frequently considered better than name-brand equivalents. Despite receiving rave

00:53reviews, they generally cost less than similar products from national brands. This is a fantastic

00:59way to save without sacrificing quality. Discount Gift Cards

01:03Unlike most places where you pay face value for gift cards, Costco sells gift cards for less than

01:09their nominal value. You can find deals on gift cards for restaurants, movie theaters, and more.

01:14For example, there have been offers like $5.20 gift cards to Pete S. Coffee or $4.25 gift cards to

01:21Domino S for just $79.99. Imagine the savings on your next outing, vacation savings, planning your

01:29next getaway. Your Costco membership can be a great asset for saving on travel. Costco has partnerships

01:34with companies like Best Western and Hyatt, giving you access to bulk group discounts that might be hard

01:39to find elsewhere. These deals cover cruises, theme parks, and more. So all that's left is to pack your

01:46bags. Lower car costs. While Costco might not be the first place you think of for a car, their auto

01:53program is a surprising member benefit. Costco works with over 3,000 dealerships, where your membership

01:59could potentially get you discounts. Of course, as with any major purchase, it's always smart to shop

02:05around to ensure you're getting the best deal. Water Delivery

02:09If you're not a fan of tap water or just prefer the convenience, Costco has you covered. You can forget

02:14refilling filtered pitchers because Costco will deliver bulk bottles of water directly to your

02:20front door. For as little as $6.99 per 5-gallon bottle, you can choose between spring or purified

02:27water. Insurance Coverage

02:29Another lesser-known benefit is access to Costco's health insurance marketplace, where members can shop

02:35for health, dental, and vision plans. Additionally, if you're looking to buy a new home or car, you can

02:41explore Costco's partnership with Ameriprise for insurance. It's always a good idea to compare

02:46these policies with other options to ensure the best rates and coverage. Pharmacy discounts. While

02:52you can buy prescription medications at Costco without a membership, having a membership unlocks

02:57an additional benefit. The Costco Member Prescription Program

03:00This program provides member-only prices at thousands of network pharmacies. Savings can be significant,

03:07ranging from 2% to 40%, depending on the medication. You can even include eligible dependents and pets

03:14under your plan, at no extra cost to save on their medications.

03:192. Tire Discounts and Maintenance

03:21For vehicle owners, your membership allows you to buy tires for your car at a discount.

03:26At certain times of the year, Costco even offers additional discounts on specific tire brands,

03:31which can maximize your savings. What's more, Costco's tire installation package includes lifetime

03:37maintenance services, such as balancing tire rotation, pressure checks, and flat repairs.

03:43This is a real long-term advantage. Cheaper Wine and Spirits

03:47Depending on your location, both members and non-members can find great deals when buying

03:52alcohol at Costco. You might be surprised to learn that Costco is the largest wine retailer in the United

03:58States. According to some experts, you could save as much as 10% to 20% per bottle when buying wine at

04:04Costco compared to other retailers. As you can see, your Costco membership goes far beyond simply

04:11buying in bulk. From planning your vacations to maintaining your car and health, these lesser-known

04:16benefits can add significant value to your daily life, making that annual membership fee an even

04:22smarter investment. So, the next time you visit Costco, remember that a world of savings is waiting to be

04:29discovered. Money Expo
