Walmart is a lot better than costco. Walmart has low prices and you only pay $0 per year to shop at wmt unlike costco which charges 50 bucks every year for as long as ur a memba.

Imagine Costco has your home phone number, you cell phone number, your email address, your home address and so on but now Imagine thinking you have car insurance only to find out 2 weeks after the fact that Costco has dropped your insurance. What happened? And you have been driving without insurance for 2 weeks. TWO WEEKS!!!!! ago Costco dropped our insurance!!

Yes and they can and will do it to you. As is Costco’s policy you needed to use a credit card to pay for our insurance and be billed automatically about every 5 months. Be careful if you credit card expires as they all do, Costco will not be able to auto charge your account. So what will Costco do? Well for us after our account number changed and a new card was issued, and even with all our contact information, Costco notified us via US mail that 2 weeks ago, as a legal notice we dropped your policy do to not being able to bill your credit card. What???? Two weeks after the fact with every means of contacting you Costco sends snail mail 2 weeks after dropping my insurance do to Credit Card Changes. All I’m saying is be careful. If you get a new Credit card issued by your company don’t forget to contact Costco and let them know. They will not notify you of the problem until it is to late and it will be your fault. They can contact you but don’t expect them to be looking out for your best interest.

Harry,

To me savings is savings and I got the discount price by being a Costco member. We shop around for car insurance twice a year and this by far has been the cheapest. We just had to use the tow service this weekend and find that extra benefit pretty handy.

But you do bring up a point, so my next Costco review I’m also including our food and goods savings.
