Ugh. I'm really pleased with the magnetic charging setup on my Z3 Compact. I thought it was stupid of Sony to drop that from the Z5's. It's pretty similar in effect to how MagSafe works on Apple laptops.
Seems like there are some decent wireless charging stands for $20 to $25. I'd go that route if this was available. Lots of stories of expensive phones having to be worked on or replaced because of the stupid USB jack.

I have that Amex Blue Cash rewards card, so I try and use it for everything I can. I'm going to have to find a MasterCard that can match the rewards though, since Costco doesn't take Amex anymore.
Look for visa? Costco takes that.

You can add it to almost any newer phone that didn't ship with it - it's just a little flat coil you tape to the battery so it touches the contacts. Everything Samsung made since the Galaxy 4 has pins under the rear cover for it and I expect most other mainstream makers do as well. I paid $9 to add it to my S5 so I could use the wireless charger in my new truck.

Seriously!? I've never seen a place that takes Visa or MC but not both, considering they're often handled by the same processor networks for about the same cost. That would be enough to make me ditch Costco outright.
In reply to rslifkin:
Costco Just switched to Visa after taking Amex only for decades. Visa was willing to drop a lot of the processing fees for them to be able to be the card in costco.
