Yes, a family member can use a Costco card, but there are some restrictions.
Costco membership cards are generally intended for the primary member and their household. However, the primary member can add someone living at the same address as an additional cardholder. This means family members who reside in the same household can use the card without any issues.
The primary cardholder is responsible for all purchases made with their card, so it’s wise to ensure that family members are aware of this.
If a family member does not live with the primary member, they cannot use the card. This rule helps maintain the integrity of membership privileges.
Some people may wonder about friends or relatives visiting from out of town. Unfortunately, Costco does not allow non-members to use a member’s card. However, they can shop with you if you accompany them.
Costco has a policy that encourages members to keep their accounts up to date. This includes ensuring that only those who are eligible are using the card.
