Calling Costco Members
22 Answers
I've just been trying to work out how many guests I can take with me to CostCo, and am pleased to find the answer is two.
However whilst trying to establish this I was surprised to find that only members can make purchases.
I frequently shop with a friend and we go through the till separately, paying personally for our purchases but using my membership card.
Is this the norm or is my local branch bucking the rule book?
I'm intending visiting a new warehouse and don't want to find out the hard way at the till.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.We (me and OH) go regularly go with our friends who are members - as their guests. We always pay separately on our own own debit cards but using their membership card. No problem at all. The girl on the checkout smiles and says "that is fine". We went yesterday and got some good bargains. What do you think to the food they serve at the cafe, its cheap but in my opinion it's horrible!
That's odd Bednobs because it is Reading I use. The method I describe is what I did with a friend before I was a member and what I have done since becoming a member myself and, touch wood, I've never had a problem.
I know there are ways round it but as I'm planning on visiting a new one that has just opened and they may be sticklers for the rules I wanted to sound out what the norm is or if Reading is exceptional......and you've just blown that theory out of the water! ;-)

It used to be the case that only the member could pay but that changed a number of years ago and now the guest(s) themselves can pay with their own debit card.
Is that not what you do already Eccles, when you say you go with your friend and go through the till separately, paying personally, but using your membership card?? Perhaps I've misunderstood.

Oh right, I see now. That surprises me as its been a long time since I've been aware of it being enforced.
Reading costco is one of the worst ones I've been to. It's always heaving and seems smaller and generally more squashed up than others. It must serve a huge number of people though, no wonder it's always busy, I think the next nearest is Milton Keynes.
Is the new one in the same area?

just a suggestion, how about you and guests take plenty of cash each, put all purchases on your trolley/low low type thingy, each adds up their own purchases and hands the approximate cash to you, it all goes on under your membership card.
Receipt is checked on exit.
When you get home, sit with a calculator to find out the difference in pennies (for example) each of you owes to whom.
Pal and I used to do this in Makro when he was a member.
