No, you cannot get into Costco without your membership card.
Costco requires members to present their membership card at the entrance to access the store. If you arrive without it, you won’t be allowed inside.
If you forget your card, the best option is to request a temporary pass from the membership desk. They may be able to look up your membership information and let you in for that visit.
Bringing a digital version of your membership card on your phone can help too, as some locations may accept that. But it’s always safer to have the physical card with you.
If you’re shopping with someone who has a membership, they can also take you in as their guest. However, remember that guests can’t shop alone and must be accompanied by the member.
Always check with your local Costco for their policies, as they can vary slightly by location.
