No, you cannot get into Costco without a membership.
However, there are a few exceptions and workarounds that may allow limited access.
Costco requires a membership for most shopping experiences. This is their business model, and it helps keep prices low for members.
If you want to shop without a membership, one of the most common ways is to go with a member. A member can bring in guests, but they will have to pay for any purchases at the register.
Another option is to use a Costco gift card. If someone gives you a Costco gift card, you can enter the store and use that card to make purchases. Just keep in mind that you can’t reload it.
Some Costco locations allow you to shop online without a membership, but you’ll pay a surcharge. It’s a way to get the products but at a higher price.
If you’re just looking to browse, you can enter a Costco to check out the store, but you won’t be able to buy anything without a membership or the aforementioned options.
