Costco members may have access to added travel savings in 2026, as the retailer expands travel perks tied to its booking platform.
For travelers looking to cut costs, these features may help cut expenses on hotels, rental cars and other parts of a trip.
One option is Costco Travel’s bundled hotel pricing, which can reduce the cost of longer stays.

The company’s “More Stay, Less Pay” deals allow travelers to book longer stays at a reduced rate, such as staying five nights while paying for four, according to the company’s website. Pricing also generally includes mandatory fees upfront, which can help avoid unexpected charges during checkout.
Some travel packages also include Digital Costco Shop Cards, which are issued by email after a trip begins or is completed, depending on the booking.
These electronic gift cards can be used for purchases on Costco’s website or at warehouse locations, Costco noted. The credits may help offset future expenses such as groceries or other everyday items.
