Excellent optical dept

Pros: cost, professional staff who knew what they were doing
"I just joined Costco so I could buy my new eye glasses from the highly recommended Optical dept, according to Consumer Reports. Even with the dues to join I came out ahead when it came to my purchase."

Great tires

Pros: easy to purchase online., saved over $100 on the purchase, very efficient tire center.
Model Number: 205/55R16
"We recently purchased four new Michelin defender tires for our 2008 Honda Civic.
Love the tires, so far. The car drives so much more smoothly. The steering wheel no longer vibrates when we are going 55 mph or more.

Disappointed Overall

Pros: pretty competitive prices
Cons: limited card acceptance
"I was impressed with the price of a TV that I was thinking about purchasing. The extened warranty that Costco offers is great. This was my first time there and I was informed that they acceped debit cards when I signed up at my job. When I went to check out they only accepted pin based purchases and Amex and checks. However I did not bring any checks with me so I found myself in an awkward situation. Well my husband finally had to pay cash. Then I was going to get gas and I take money out of my account every two weeks specifically to purchase gas. When I pulled up to the station I found out they did not take cash. I was shocked! The whole experience very inconvenient. I will probably request a membership refund."

great values

Pros: clothing selection changes frequently
Cons: only take amex card no mastercard/visa, sometimes quantities r 2 large for senior couples
"One of the best things they offer is their refund policy. Very easy to return, so if you are in doubt about buying, you can say yes and if it doesn't work out, just return it. They offer many food/beverage samples almost daily - that makes it fun and my husband loves it."
