Who do I love more? Costco or American Express. Definitively, American Express.
How nice for you. There are many variables at play with respect to finding value at Costco, but apparently for you Amazon is fulfilling your needs. Just
one fill of
one of my dog's prescription medications at Costco nets more in savings (compared to the vet or other pharmacies) than a couple of
years of the annual Costco membership fee. Really. While many (or most?) states in the US require that Costco allow customers to visit the pharmacy without membership, membership is required to partake of Costco's Member Prescription Program, a benefit that can yield significant savings on medications including those for pets.
