Costco membership sharing guidelines
Customers must abide by stringent guidelines when using Costco’s membership, and in recent years, the company has been tough on violators.
- Primary Member Use: Only the primary cardholder can use this Costco membership card. Sharing it for purchases is not allowed as the photo on the card must match the person using it.
- Household Card: Each primary member can add one free household cardholder who lives at the same address. This person will receive their own membership card and can shop at Costco independently.
- Guest Policy: Members can bring up to two guests per visit to Costco. However, only the member can make purchases. Guests must be accompanied by the member.
- Authorized Cardholder: For an additional fee, you can add an authorized cardholder, such as a family member or friend, who doesn’t reside at your address. They will receive their own card and can shop independently.
Costco is credited.
Additionally, it’s possible that the $45 Digital Costco Shop Card cannot be exchanged for cash.
See the Member Privileges and Conditions section of the Costco website for further details regarding memberships.
