Costco’s New Rule FRUSTRATES People ALL OVER Utah, California & Nevada!

Heads up, Costco fans! If you thought the recent membership price hike was enough, brace yourself—another big change is on the way, and it’s causing quite a buzz. This new rule could be the tipping point for some customers!

What’s the Deal with the New Policy?

Costco is rolling out entry kiosks where, instead of a quick flash of your membership card, you’ll actually scan it. Sounds simple, but here’s the twist: these kiosks will display your membership photo to an employee. If the person holding the card doesn’t match the photo on file, no entry! This new setup aims to stop card-sharing, which is already frustrating for families, especially spouses who share a membership but only have one picture on the card.

How Will This Affect You?

• Guests: Only members can enter, so non-members need to stick with the cardholder who’s on the account.
• Food Court Access: No more sneaking into the food court for a quick hot dog or slice if you don’t have a membership. From now on, only members can enter the store, which means those without a card will miss out on the food court’s $1.50 hot dog deal.

Any Benefits?

According to Costco, this change will streamline things at checkout since you won’t need to show your card when you leave. It’s still unclear how this will affect tracking points and other perks, but stay tuned as more details emerge. Costco’s new policy will likely have an impact on millions of members and their guests worldwide—so if you’re curious about how it will work for your household, keep an eye out for updates!
