How Do You Apply for a Costco Membership Card?

As of April 2015, Costco offers three different levels of membership, each of which requires payment of an annual fee. The most basic membership for individuals is a Gold Star membership, which costs $55 annually. This membership allows holders to shop at Costco stores. A business membership is available for purchase for the same price by organizations with the option to add up to six members, all at the same rate. The executive membership costs $110 per year and comes with added benefits.
