Costco (NASDAQ: COST) warehouse club membership at $65/year Gold Star generating $4.8B annual fee revenue; 135M+ cardholders at 92%+ renewal competing with Sam's Club for warehouse club subscription.
Costco Membership is the annual subscription model underpinning Costco Wholesale Corporation's (NASDAQ: COST) warehouse club business — the $4.99/month or $65/year Gold Star individual membership and $130/year Executive membership that grants access to Costco's 890+ warehouse locations globally, Costco.com, and exclusive member pricing on bulk merchandise. Costco's membership model is the strategic foundation of its retail economics: Costco generates virtually all of its operating profit from membership fees (approximately $4.8 billion in fiscal year 2024) rather than merchandise margins — enabling the company to price merchandise at minimal markup above cost while maintaining industry-leading profitability.
