What is the Costco charge on my statement?
Costco is Costco. Annual or renewal membership charge for Costco Wholesale warehouse club; typically $65 Gold Star or $130 Executive membership. If you did not authorize it, start with Costco’s own Costco billing help before a bank dispute — the biller can show the exact purchase and refund faster than a chargeback resolves.

- To stop future charges, use Manage or cancel Costco. Cancellation stops renewals; it rarely refunds past ones on its own.
- If nobody in your household recognizes it after checking the biller's own records, dispute the charge with your card issuer and ask the biller to close whatever account it is tied to.
