If You're Over 60, Costco Owes You These 12 Free Things

If you're over 60 and you've carried a Costco card for years, there's a good chance you're paying for benefits built specifically for someone your age and never claiming a single one of them. Here's why that happens. A huge share of what costs real money after 60 — hearing aids, glasses, vaccines, tech support, home repairs you can't do yourself anymore — is exactly where other businesses make their fattest margins. Costco doesn't. It hands a lot of that out near cost, because the profit already happened at the door when you paid the membership fee. Once you're in, keeping you coming back matters more than squeezing you on any single visit.
