Costco.ca Online Shopping Hacks (Executive Member Perks & More)
Published: December 19, 2025
Costco.ca offers exclusive online deals, same-day delivery options, and powerful perks for Executive Members — here’s how Canadian shoppers can maximize savings without leaving home.
Upgrade to Executive Membership for Online Perks
The $130 Executive Membership pays for itself quickly with these online-focused benefits:
- 2% Reward on all eligible Costco.ca and in-warehouse purchases (up to $1,250 annually)
- $10 monthly credit on Same-Day Delivery or Instacart orders ($150+ basket, starting 2025)
- Extra discounts on Costco Services (travel, insurance, etc.)
- Breakeven point: Spend about $6,500/year to cover the upgrade fee
Tip: If you shop online often, the Instacart credit alone can save $120/year.
Spot Hidden Deals with Price Codes
Even online, look for these signs of markdowns (visible on product pages or in-warehouse for pickup):
- Prices ending in .97: Clearance — lowest price, often final markdown
- Prices ending in .00 or .88: Manager specials/extra discounts
- Asterisk (*) on tag: Item won’t be restocked — grab it now
Secret Unadvertised Sales & Clearance
- Check fan sites like cocoeast.ca or cocowest.ca every Monday for “secret” weekly sales not in flyers
- Browse Costco.ca “Online-Only” and “Warehouse Savings” sections for exclusive deals
- Use the Costco app for inventory checks, app-exclusive savings, and notifications
Delivery & Pickup Hacks
- Same-Day Grocery via Instacart (Executive perk applies)
- Free shipping on most orders over certain amounts
- Curbside pickup at warehouses for online orders
- Stack with cashback portals like Rakuten.ca (often 1–4% back)
Price Adjustments & Returns
Costco.ca offers 30-day price adjustments on online purchases (submit form online). Full satisfaction guarantee — easy returns.
Final Pro Tip
Use Costco.ca to research prices/reviews, then decide in-warehouse vs. online delivery. Executive Members get the biggest online wins in 2025.
