Kitty Genoveseâs killer dies in prison 1. Winston Moseley, left, died in prison last week, nearly 52 years after he stalked and murdered 28-year-old Kitty Genovese in Kew Gardens. The case would make national headlines for a heartless response from her neighbors that never actually happened.
More than one-third of Costco shoppers pay $110 for an executive membership, which reimburses them 2% cash back on their purchases. To cover the cost of the extra $55, executive members have to spend a minimum of $230 per month, or $2,750 a year. Executive members who spend twice that earn enough to cover the full cost of membership. To reap the full benefit of up to $750 cash back, they have to spend $37,500 per year.
Compare it to the cost of the standard membership plus the extra card, and then divide the difference by 0.02. That's how much you need to buy there to break even. My wife and I buy a good amount at Costco so we have one. I think if you spend over $200-250 a month on average then it's worth it.e spend enough at Costco every year to get a reward check to cover the extra expense. Where you can really make your money back though is by using a Costco Amex--which the executive membership will give you. The card gives 1% back on all purchases, 2% back on dining and travel and 3% back on gas.
