Our verdict on Costco Wholesale
For Costco members, the Android app brings warehouse and online shopping together with practical account and pharmacy tools. Members can browse Costco.com’s expanded selection for home delivery, use a digital membership card at warehouse registers, view savings, and find warehouse hours and directions. Shopping lists, photo ordering, and prescription refill and status tools extend it beyond checkout. The app download is free, but shopping requires membership, so it is most relevant to people already shopping at Costco or considering membership—not general bargain hunters comparing retailer apps.
Costco’s U.S. plans are annual: Gold Star Membership costs $65 and includes one Household Card, with shopping at Costco.com; Gold Star Executive Membership costs $130 and includes one Household Card plus an annual 2% reward on qualifying purchases. Prices exclude applicable sales tax. The Executive plan’s reward is tied to qualifying purchases, so the higher fee is most relevant to members whose eligible spending makes that benefit useful. Membership is the central cost of access to shopping, rather than an optional upgrade to a free shopping service.
The app’s value comes from linking the warehouse visit to online orders and everyday member tasks: digital checkout credentials, savings, lists, location information, and prescription management sit alongside photo prints, wall décor, and photo gifts. That breadth suits members who want a single retailer app for several Costco-related errands. It is less suitable for shoppers without a Costco membership, or anyone seeking an iOS app: the listing is Android-only, and some services and availability may vary by location. Choose it for Costco-specific shopping and visit management, not as a general-purpose shopping marketplace.
