Same with Costco.....

Sam’s club and BJ’s don’t even come close to Costco, I’ve belonged to all 3 and dumped Sam’s club when BJ’s opened and I’ll dump BJ’s when Costco opens. I no longer support Publix or Winn Dixie. Their prices are ridiculous Walmart has better prices and much better meats.

They usually offer something: a gift card or great coupons for popular products. Also note that Costco keeps track of coupons and discounts for you. They are very customer friendly.
We maintain our membership because of the quality, return policy and extra help and year of warranty when purchasing electronics. The fresh produce seems higher quality also. We purchase online frequently.

I don't know if Costco does it for a store opening but we joined Costco after receiving a really good offer to join and received the top membership. We had no interest in Costco and had a Sam's Club membership at the time.

We have renewed it once but really are not addicted like most. We like some of the products and prices at Sam's much better but then Costco does have some items we'll pick up on sale. We, to this day, don't understand all the hoopla about Costco. Unless they're 1 mile away the drive is a pain, buying frozen food and schlepping it 30 minutes to get home, lines at the gas pumps make little savings when one sits in an idling car 10-15 minutes and the crowds make it iffy for us. Renewal again is questionable for us.

Each to their own.

Last time I was near a Costco opening, they had tents setup in various parking lots around the city to get people to sign up. I believe the offer was 2 months free membership with a regular 12 month. I have other issues with Costco that prevent me from caring what they do though.
