Costco Executive Membership
If you shop at Costco regularly, an Executive Membership may be worth the extra cost because it earns a 2% annual reward on eligible purchases, subject to exclusions and limits. Compare your expected reward with the upgrade fee before paying more, especially if your household shops there only occasionally.
Sam’s Club Plus
Sam’s Club Plus adds benefits to a standard membership, including rewards on qualifying purchases, pharmacy savings, and early shopping hours at many locations. Since it’s a paid upgrade, compare the benefits with your shopping habits to see whether the added cost makes sense for your household.
Publix Club Publix
Club Publix is free to join and offers digital coupons, personalized deals, a birthday treat, and an early look at the weekly ad. Members can also save shopping lists and view past purchases through their accounts, making it easier to plan future grocery trips.
