Can I shop for my parents at Costco using their card? Any experiences / will the cashier really care?

Weird no one is having issues. At mine, the cashier won’t accept payment if the name is different on the Costco card membership vs credit card name

I’ve used my dad’s card at the same location with opposite results. Some cashiers don’t care and some do. I feel like you might be able to get away with it if you explain you are shopping for the cardholder who is avoiding stores for covid reasons

Really depends on the cashier. I’ve noticed they’re less likely to check if the lines are long 😉

If all else fails, order online. 👍

I literally carry an expired Costco and Sam’s card and it works - the membership barcode doesn’t change.

Yeah..at Costco, if you are expired, they add the membership total to your checkout order.

Most Costco locations at least in the southeast have self check out options where they don’t check the name/picture on the card or the name in the credit/debit card. I give my fiancé my card all the time and we’ve never had a problem.

If cashier cares for some reason then go to self checkout. All you do is scan and no one looks at picture

A lot of the northern locations don’t have self-check out

Say you are shopping for your parents as they are uncomfortable leaving the house & risking exposure to individuals with COVID-19. No one is going to question that!

Similar to others above, I’ve experienced cashiers who didn’t care or didn’t notice and others who won’t let you. Totally depends on the person. I have my own now and wouldn’t risk going without it
