No, Costco does not accept Mastercard debit cards.
Costco primarily accepts Visa credit cards, cash, checks, and Costco gift cards for in-store purchases. If you’re looking to pay with a debit card, it has to be a Visa-branded debit card.
For online purchases, Costco also limits payment options primarily to Visa. This means Mastercard debit cards won’t work for online orders either.
Members often ask about payment alternatives. If you have a Mastercard debit, you might consider using it to withdraw cash from an ATM and then use that cash for your purchase at Costco.
Another option is to use a Visa gift card, which can be purchased with your Mastercard debit card. This way, you can still shop at Costco without hassle.
If you have a Costco membership and want to maximize your payment options, it’s good to know about these limitations.
