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. 

This tip can help you save money for yourself and is a great way to save money on gifts. Most of the gift cards come in smaller increments. For example, you can purchase (4) $15 gift cards to Krispy Kreme for $44.99 instead of paying the full $60. Everyone likes donuts. 

Here are some deals you might find on the Costco website: 

  • $449.99 for a $500 gift card to Southwest Airlines
  • $79.99 for a $100 gift card to Panda Express
  • $79.99 for a $100 gift card to Domino’s
