Today, I called Costco to ask them not to renew my membership because of financial problems. The man on the phone spent 30 minutes telling me why I'm a fool to leave and I ended up with a renewed $55 membership and 25 minutes over my minute allowance. FML

Actually it is. I received a notice in the mail 2 weeks ago saying they'll renew my membership on the 25th and then bill me.

Seems that maybe the root of your financial issues is that you can't say "no" to people. You're probably a wet dream for telemarketers, OP.

It's not automatic. You didn't have to call them.

If you got the guys name report him to someone in management. They want to know things like that. My sister works for Costco.

Mine automatically renews. Maybe OPs does too? It would explain why they had to call.

Go into to your local store and tell them what happened. If the person your talking to wont refund you , ask to talk to a manager. As a Costco employee myself, I can tell you that is not The usual protocol in handling membership refunds. Also it's in your membership agreement that if you are dissatisfied with your membership at any time, Costco will refund you.
