Trying hard to laugh at this

I just brought in the mail, and it includes our Costco membership renewal notice.  $100 to spend.  The same sheet of paper also contains our 2% rebate check from executive rebate ... for $109.57.

The way I see it, Costco is paying us $9.57 to renew our executive membership.

That's true now, back then there was a reason to do so. I did it for an employer as I'd not have done it myself. A digitally stored photograph and in house printed photo ID was unreal.

Not long after that they changed the way the pricing structure worked and was not worth bothering to renew.

I miss the old wholesale club that was bought out by Sam's, they'd have unbelievable deals at times. Sam's never had those deals.

I think Costco may be better and we have one, just need to check it out.

I've had a Costco membership on and off for about ... uh ... fifteen years now, and I still like it a lot. I've gotten my money back on the membership many, many times over.
