Strike 5,200 Posted June 28, 2023 Their policy always did. So it bothers you that they're enforcing their policies now? What, do you not pay for Costco and try to piggyback on someone else's membership? Why is this a problem to you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The old guy I work with loves it... "ya know I save TEN CENTS on every gallon of gas.?. " That's great, but we've been waiting in line for 20 minutes. Here's a dollar grandpa, let's go.

edjr 6,578 Posted June 28, 2023 Wait. Costco used to ask for ID when you walked in. When did that change? or maybe just had to show your card? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont have a card, I use my wife's card, it has her picture on it. I guess technically they won't let me buy anything anymore. I think people give their cards to their aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, etc. Trying to stop that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see you using your wife's card as fraud. AT BJs you just need a card to check out at self check. BJS also has gas like 30 cents less than everywhere else.

Their policy allows one other person who resides at the same residence to use the card. You should be fine. They just don't want freeloaders using their friend's cards.

RLLD 4,143 Posted June 28, 2023 I find this odd.....I mean, their model relies on people showing up to buy maybe $100 of stuff, but leaving with #600 worth of stuff.....what the fock do their care if people are members or not, honestly.... I have been a executive member for years, never shared my card, but I would not care if someone did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All you have to do is get a household card for yourself. Takes just a few minutes online, just like every time you loose your wallet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with the sentiment so maybe, just spitballing here... they can do certain things as a paid "club" that they couldn't do otherwise. Like, states that outlawed happy hours used to let you join their "club" and buy alcohol at a reduced club rate, thus skirting the law. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same, but I think our older daughter has our second card for her shopping needs. Just as well, I'm turrble about impulse purchases whenever the wife and I shop together. Last weekend she took me along and I grabbed a Fiskar's pole tree pruner ($52 and my old one broke, and I had thrown it out) and Kirkland Anejo tequila ($31 for 1 liter and it's really good, but I can't say that I needed it).

Same here. Last 2 times I went to Costco, went in to but pork shoulder, ended up with a full $500 cart. I saw that pruner and almost bought it, but ended up going white trash style and duct taped my pruner to my long pole so I can prune the elm over the driveway.

Yeah, we went to get some meat for Father's Day (celebrated a week late; I was out of town the previous week) and were happy the bill was only $380. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
