Costco cracks down on membership card sharing

Yes, Costco indeed has policies against membership card sharing. The company’s policy states that membership cards are non-transferable and are only applicable to the original members. This means that you cannot lend your card to anyone else, including family members or friends. Non-members are not allowed to make a purchase, rather, they can only accompany members inside the store. All of this is done to ensure that only paying members enjoy the benefits of Costco’s discounted merchandise. To enforce this, Costco may check IDs at the door. Violation of these rules may lead to termination of membership.
