    Another vote for the Exec/Visa. 4% cash back on gas anywhere. Rewards checks almost fully covered a patio set this year.
    @Eggcelsior  I'm assuming you bought the patio set from Costco?  If so how is it holding up?  We bought one this past weekend from there, but it was website only and on back order.

    Citi cash back card and Executive...both paid well last year.  Converted my old AmX cash back to AmX return and use that at Sam's...3 way winner.  Saved $$$$ when purchased the new MDX.  The auto dealer honors the Costco card.

    Great, so far. It's a sofa, ottoman, and 2 club chairs. Sunbrella fabric. Bought covers for the set to eliminate the need to constantly clean bird poop, as it sits under a pergola they congregate on waiting for their turn at the feeder.

    I would hope that stuff lasts.  Comparing their furniture prices to that of Lowes, etc, it's a lot more.

    Seems a conversation set at Lowes is roughly $500.  Costco sets don't start until at $1500.

    You planning to buy patio furniture? This seems to be one thing I have noticed to be expensive.  Now, is this apples to apples with Lowes stuff?  I don't know, probably not, just an observation.  

    Go get your membership and sign up for the Citi card, and buy some $hit.

    Not all sets are created equal. Mines an Agio International "4 piece deep seating set", wicker over an aluminum frame. No straps or bands, 6 pillows included. Equivalent sets from traditional outdoor stores are around 1800-2200 dollars.

    Yeah, I'm sure my observation isn't comparing apples to apples there.  I have seen a few sets at Costco before, I've avoided them as they're too rich for my tastes.  I'm sure they'll hold up a lot better than at Lowes, and HD.  

    I want to get a set for my back deck and cringe at the $500 set I like from Lowes.

    We have the Executive. Used to pay for itself. Since we no longer buy any meat at Costco we only get back about $70.

    @ Central_Bama_Egger   Did you  just say you took your first trip to Costco and didn't buy anything? ?  No pictures. It didn't happen.

    My favorite thing is no questions asked about returns. You walk up and they say " would you like me to credit this to your card? " Yes thank you.

    I appreciate you dudes steering me in that direction. Got a kid on the way. So the diapers, wipes and formula will probably be grabbed from there. Along with a couple of those freakin ribeyes I saw.

    @Central_Bama_Egger I have the executive membership, Costco visa, and restaurant depot membership.  There's just the two of us and the end of year check always cover the membership+.  The Costco visa is just icing on the cake.  I got overwhelmed my first time at restaurant depot.  It's not right for you since everything is in bulk, but, I highly recommend visiting once just for the experience.

    And bring a winter jacket for the freezer...

    A friend of mine did, and I almost did a few years back. Decided to replace the evaporator coil only instead, and try to squeeze some more time out of the existing units.

    The lady pirate and I have the executive and it works for us, nobody has mentioned it before but though Costco Travel you sometimes get added benefits on travel like cash rewards or more savings. We did our Honeymoon to Maui through Costco and it saved us around 2k with added 500$ American Express gift card (back in the good ol AMEX days)

    you are a better man than me, Usually I go in there for just one thing (kureg coffee) and come out with all sorts of crap, pirate house hold joke is you can't go to Costco without spending 200$
