DESCRIPTION
The Costco Anywhere Visa got a BIG UPDATE! Learn what this change could mean for you and if you should apply for the card (or continue to keep it). Click “Show More” to see Ad Disclosure, links, and additional information below.
The Costco credit card has been issued by Citi since June 20, 2016. Since then, it’s undergone several changes, along with changes to Costco itself.
Fast forward to January 19, 2025, the Costco Anywhere Visa now earns 5% cash back on Costco Gas, as well as 4% cash back at other gas stations and EV charging stations, on up to $7,000 of combined spend across these 2 categories per calendar year. After that, you’ll continue earning 1% cash back until it resets in the following year.
Additionally, while this is a credit card with no annual fee, you do need to pay the Costco Membership fee, which has increased to $65/yr. for the Costco Gold Star Membership and $130/yr. for the Costco Executive Membership.

Do note that the Costco Anywhere Visa no longer offers extended warranty protection; that was removed on January 22, 2023.
Finally, the card now has a new black design (previously grey).
