Costco’s Newest Perk Might Mean It’s Time To Upgrade Your Membership

Being a Costco Executive membership holder just got a little sweeter. The membership-based warehouse has joined forces with Instacart to bring consumers what they want—at the best price—even faster.

As of June 30, 2025, Costco Executive members in the United States and Canada will receive a $10 monthly credit toward same-day delivery—available at sameday.costco.com—or Costco via Instacart available on an order of $150 or more.

“Costco Executive Members expect exceptional value—and now, they can get even more delivered to their door,” Daniel Danker, Chief Product Officer at Instacart, said in a press release from the brand. “Our new monthly credit makes it easier than ever for members across North America to get Costco’s warehouse items with the convenience of fast and reliable delivery through Instacart.”

The new perk joins a long list of benefits for Executive members, including a 2% cash back reward on purchases up to $1,250 per year. The Executive membership is $130 per year, as opposed to the Costco’s Gold Star membership tier, which is $65 per year.

The Instacart credit is not the only new perk Costco has rolled out recently for Executive members.

In June 2025, the brand announced it was bringing back early shopping hours for Executive members.

Bonus shopping hours for Executive members are 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Sunday.

The announcement of special hours for Executive members was met online with mixed approval from members of all membership tiers, including those who feared everyone would start upgrading their membership and negate the special privilege.

“Now everyone will be upgrading their membership and the crowds will still be there,” one user wrote on a social post announcing the news.
