You don't need us to tell you that gas prices are through the roof, but we'll do it anyway: As of early April, 2022, the national average was a whopping $4.189 a gallon.

One way to save on high gas prices is with a Costco membership -- the warehouse chain offers gas at prices lower than the local average. If you're not a Costco member yet, there's good news: Costco is offering you a gift card if you sign up now.

More often than not, gas at Costco is cheaper than at your average local station, but you can only purchase it if you're a member of the big-box retail store. You can purchase a Costco membership activation certificate online, and receive a Costco gift card now. Just be sure to enroll in auto renewal on a Visa card at the time of sign-up to qualify for this deal. You can even spend your gift card at Costco gas stations. 

New Gold Star members receive a $10 Costco gift card (the store calls them Shop Cards), whereas new Executive members get a $20 card. As an Executive member, you receive an annual 2% reward (up to $1,000) on eligible Costco and Costco.com purchases, plus additional benefits on select Costco services, in addition to all the benefits of a Gold Star member.

A Gold Star membership costs $60 and an Executive membership runs for $120. After purchasing your activation certificate online, go to your local store to activate it.
