The online travel agency frequently provides deals on vacation packages, hotels and rental cars for these occasions, but there are a few things of which to be aware.
First, the Costco Travel website is available for anyone to browse, but only members are able to view pricing and to book travel.
Another important note is that Costco Travel requires a separate account from a customer's main Costco account. So that separate account must be active before booking. Bookings can be made online or also by phone.
Also, Costco Travel does not sell airfare that stands alone. Members can only purchase flights when they are bundled along with lodging plans or as part of a travel package purchase.
