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.
The same cannot be said for Costco membership fees, which the company has generally increased every five or six years. Costco last hiked the fees in 2011, from $50 to $55 for basic membership and $100 to $110 for executive membership. Here we are five years later, and signs indicate it's time for another price hike.
