Average Costco customer makes six figures

Barely. Guess it takes a wee bit of money to buy in bulk.

American Express CEO Ken Chennault held an unscheduled call with analysts today to warn everybody that AmEx’s credit-card partnership with warehouse retailer Costco is going to expire next year.

AmEx shares lost 6.5 percent as a result.

Most interesting factoid of the whole story?

The average Costco customer has an income of $100,000 a year.
