Do you Have to be a Costco Member?
- No, you don’t have to be a member but you will pay a 5% surcharge. But even with the surcharge you will be saving money.
WOTC Pro Tip: Anyone can shop Costco.com, although there are a few hitches for nonmembers:
- You will pay an extra 5% surcharge, but you usually still get a deal.
- You can not use it for “Member-Only” Savings” deals.
- If a member gives you a Costco Shop Card (gift card), you can shop in-store or online without a membership.
- Costco’s pharmacy is open to non-members in many states. You can purchase prescription medications and even use their low-cost prescription program.
- You can go with a Costco member as their guest, though they must make the purchase.
- If you spend less than $1,200 a year at Costco online it’s not worth purchasing a membership (you will just pay the 5% surcharge) but if you plan on spending more than $1,200 a year online it will save you money by purchasing a membership.
