Last year, about this time, I purchased a Costco Membership in order to buy supplies for my brother-in-law’s big retirement bash.

I used it exactly twice. Once when I got it, and once when I filled up with gas – relying on the usually great gas deals at Costco – only this time, the price was more than my local gas station which you don’t know until you get to the pump because Costco (or at least this Costco) doesn’t put up any signage telling you what their gas is going for – harumph.

So I get an email telling me the membership is coming up for renewal.

It also says I can renew (or, per my plan cancel) online.

LIARS!!!! Check your pants Costco, because they are definitely on fire.

I tried multiple times to cancel online. Costco refused to acknowledge my password AND kept promising to send me a link when I told them I had forgotten my password (not true) to change my password. Never happened. Never ever ever.

So, I was in Midland (having done a Golden Guild show) and I took my fat old lady ass to Costco and canceled the membership in person.

Not happy I had to do that.

Thoroughly happy (and surprised) when Costco refunded the full cost of the membership, even though it had been almost a year!

So, not too thrilled with Costco, but kind of happy they gave me that money back!

Best $65 I never spent.
