That is their premium membership only. The Costco AMEX card (which is available to both regular and premium members) has no annual fee (with a costco membership) and it offers 3% back in restaurants, 2% back in travel, and 1% everywhere else.
Mind you, Sam's club Discover with the 2% cash back requires the premium membership as well (which also costs $100 annually). Regular Sam's club members only get 1% cash back in their spending.
