For travel and restaurants you should really be using the Chase Sapphire Reserve though....

Jesus Christ why am I not using this card?

Eh, probably laziness. Instead of taking the money out directly from my bank I'd have to pay another bill.

I am an idiot.

I was using Sapphire Preferred for a few years. I ran the numbers, even with the Chase points being worth an extra 25% when booking travel, I should get at least the same or more in direct cash if I run everything through the Costco card.

As an American, it's our duty to support the least-bad corporation. Costco is clearly the way to go.

I went to Costco today for some typical essentials like kettle chips and they had a really nice looking dog bed with a washable cover, which is exactly what I've been looking for. I picked it up and my pitbull loves it. Costco owns.

Using my Costco Visa to book a cruise and vacation in the UK.
Costco travel is giving a $160 cash card for the cruise, and 3% back on the whole mess. Not sure if the cruise gives the 2% membership reward also.

I don't think you get that 2% executive cash back from travel https://www.costco.com/executive-rewards.html

So is the quality of Costco gas like, going to balance out the 2% cheaper price or whatever if it fucks your car up later down the line? I always fear those super discount gas places because it seems like there must be corners cut somewhere and usually it's quality control that goes first

Just checked an nope. The travel lady said they add the cash card to compensate for that.

All of a regions gas comes from the same distributor/refinery. The only difference is that some will add additives specific to that brand. Same stuff as down the street that costs 20 cents more. Costco just uses their buying power/cost savings to pass on the lower price, unlike most stations. Pretty sure gas at Costco is zero profit or even negative sometimes.

The Costco business model is to make most of its profits from memberships. Very little profit is derived from markup on products/gas. Gas is just there to make the membership fees more enticing.

Even regular gas stations don't make much on just gasoline, that's why they all have mini marts. the Margins of profit on selling gasoline is generally low and volatile.

I really want a Costco hotdog right now. My fridge is empty and I've been eating subway every other day because it's close and nothing else in between. I really should get, like food or something but I've been far too depressed.

I wish Costco delivered hotdogs. :smith:
