Traveling through Costco: the benefits of booking a vacation through a retailer
Few people know that at Costco you can book travel without the stress of planning and with other perks. It's worth seeing if any of the Costco vacation packages fit your travel goals. Fool.
When you shop at Costco regularly, you mostly use it for things like buying bulk paper towels, cleaning supplies, and giant snack bags. But you can also use Costco for more than just groceries and essentials.
“За последние несколько лет моя семья реализовала проекты по благоустройству дома через Costco, приобрела очки в Costco и даже забронировала поездку через Costco, — говорит журналист Мори Бэкман. — И последнее было на самом деле действительно хорошим опытом, хотя поездка, на которую мы подписались, в конечном итоге была отменена”.

If you are thinking about going on vacation and have costco membership, it is worth exploring the travel program and see if it suits you. Here are a few lesser-known benefits that you can enjoy along the way.
1. Support in case of problems with the trip
If you book your trip yourself and something goes wrong, like your flight gets canceled before you travel, you'll have to figure things out on your own. This may mean that the hours spent on the phone will be very annoying.
When you book a trip through Costco, you get a dedicated customer service team that acts as your personal travel agency. If you need help with anything related to your trip, they will intervene on your behalf.
“Несколько лет назад моя семья забронировала круиз на Аляску через Costco, который был запланирован на август 2020 года. Излишне говорить, что эта поездка не состоялась благодаря Covid, — говорит Мори. — Но Costco позаботился обо всем для нас и позаботился о том, чтобы возмещение, которое мы должны были получить, поступило на нашу кредитную карту в разумные сроки”.
2. Lots of cashback
Costco travel purchases count towards the cashback you are eligible for under the Executive Membership program. If you book a trip for $4000, you are eligible for a 2% refund, or $80.
Meanwhile, if you have a card Costco Anywhere Visa® Business Card by Citi, you can get even more cashback on your trips - 3% to be exact.
“Мы использовали эту карту, когда забронировали нашу обреченную поездку на Аляску, и если бы поездка действительно состоялась, мы бы получили хорошие бонусы”, — говорит Мори.
3. Exclusive holiday packages
The travel packages you book through Costco are often packages that you can't book elsewhere. For example, you can book a seven-day trip to Mexico through a travel agent or on your own. But you won't necessarily have the same accommodations, transportation options, and perks you get when you book your trip with Costco.

What's more, while Costco's vacation package options have been more limited, the company has expanded its offerings over the years. So you might be surprised at how many destinations you can book through a travel program.
