Formula: (uses x savings per use) + rewards + other benefits - annual fee. Estimates exclude taxes, tips, excluded purchases, travel time, storage, product waste, and benefits you would have received without a membership.
Check current terms
The default annual amounts are standard-plan starting points, not a promise of current enrollment pricing. Promotions, local terms, qualifying-order minimums, excluded purchases, and delivery or shipping fees can all change the result.
Count a recurring price difference you can verify, delivery or shipping fees you would otherwise pay, and rewards you expect to redeem. Use a conservative estimate for every category.
Do not count a one-time joining promotion, a purchase you would not otherwise make, or a reward you will not redeem. Product waste, tips, taxes, and travel costs can also reduce real value.
