And AFAIK you can’t just get a job at Costco anymore (unless it’s something very specific that requires certain education /skill?), you have to work 1-2 years as contractor and hope to get an offer.
If you know what’s worth getting and what isn’t at Costco, membership is still a good deal and if you know your spend, even just 3k a year, it’s worth being executive member over regular, as you get it back (60+) in cashback, but they are enshittifying at breakneck speed.

In NA or somewhere else?
