| I contacted them about a trip to Disneyland, and it was less expensive for me to book it myself. So don't assume they'll be cheaper than anything else. |

I use them exclusively for rental cars. 1 or 2 rentals saves enough to pay for the Costco membership.
I used them for hotel/car package in Kona and they were so much cheaper than anything else. |

| I've booked two cruises through them and rented numerous cars. They recently (re)started hotel-only bookings and we have a room booked in Toronto in June. No issues. |

| Is it all online or do you call a travel # and deal with a human? I don’t know why I don’t know anything about this. |

We booked a flight/resort to Jamaica and costco was just about the same price if we did it ourselves, but they offered a resort credit though so I guess costco would've been cheaper. We didn't go with costco though bc we wanted the beach front accommodations at the resort and costco only had beach view and garden accommodations. |

Not fully experienced yet, but we just booked our first Costco trip.
Got two $100 credits that wouldn’t have come with booking it ourselves. Plus they seem to have fair trip cancellation refunds. And a room upgrade which maybe could have happened anyway, but I’m not sure. |

| We've done rental cars and resorts through them. Great prices, no issues. The first time I was -very- nervous about what we would be getting but everything worked out with no problems at all. I even had had times for cars when I've rented then canceled cars several times as rates decreased. Still no issues. Costco beat the other rates, including our USAA rate. |

| Booked an all inclusive to Cancun last summer. Super nervous but all was ok. We ended up with an upgraded room bc of booking issues and I was assertive about what we would take and an return airline connection issue that had nothing to do with the Costco booking. I'm a pretty seasoned traveler so had no issues handling things as they arose. For someone who hasn't done a lot of traveling/would like the ease having a travel agent would be better. However, we saved a bunch of money and had Coctco gc as part of the package that made the trip a great deal for us. |

| Booked a cruise with them. Everything went great and there were lots of extras (cupcakes, wine, etc.) in the room as part of the package. |

| can't beat the rental car prices |

| The rental car prices are excellent, I haven’t found them to be as competitive for my other travel needs |

| As others have mentioned, their prices are usually the same as elsewhere , but they offer resort or excursion credits, access to the first class lounge, express check in at the airport, stuff like that. I’m a NP who used them for a trip to Jamaica and we were happy. |

Did you all still earn hotel or airline loyalty points when booking through Costco? I couldn't get a definitive answer to this question and went ahead and booked directly through the airline/hotel. I don't play around when it comes to points.
