No, Costco does not accept LINK cards.
LINK cards are specific to Illinois and are used for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Costco primarily requires membership for shopping, and they do not accept EBT cards, which includes LINK.
Costco does accept other forms of payment such as credit cards, debit cards, and cash, but SNAP benefits are not an option.
If you’re looking for grocery stores that do accept LINK cards, consider checking out local supermarkets or retailers that participate in the SNAP program.
For Costco members, it’s always best to have an alternative payment method ready if you plan to shop there.
Some members may feel disappointed, but understanding Costco’s payment policies can help in planning your shopping trips better.
