How to Add Another Person to Your Costco Card

Adding another person to your Costco card is a straightforward process that can be done in the member services section of any store. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it.

Step-by-Step Guide to Adding a Family Member

To add someone to your Costco card, simply visit the member services desk at your local Costco store. Bring the person you wish to add. When it's your turn, inquire with the member services representative about adding this person to your account.

Ensure you haven’t already added someone to your account. The member services person will need the new member's identification to verify that you both live under the same roof.

Once the representative confirms that the person is eligible, they will take their picture and issue them a new card. The entire process takes just a few minutes, and you’ll come away with a new membership card in hand.

Additional Tips for Success

For a smoother and quicker experience, consider the following tips:

Take the new member to Costco with you in person. Walker up to the membership kiosk, present your membership card, and recite the question as exactly as possible. Raise your voice slightly at the end to emphasize that it’s a question. If you’re not at the store, you can follow the process mentioned above, but it might be more efficient to visit the store in person. Be prepared to provide identification for the new member, as the staff will need to verify their eligibility.

Cost and Benefits

Adding a family member to your Costco card is a cost-effective and convenient solution. The cost is the same as getting an individual membership. If you plan to do a large amount of shopping at Costco, the additional cost may pay for itself.

Additionally, you can have another membership card for free if you live with someone 18 or older, as long as you share the same address. This can be particularly useful if you’re a dual-income household or have children who need membership access.

Business Accounts and Additional Members

Business accounts can add more than two people, but there is a cost associated with doing so. Each additional person beyond the first two will be charged at a rate of $60 per person.

For business membership options, scroll down to the membership section of the Costco website or inquire at the member services desk in-store.

By following these steps, you can easily add a new member to your Costco card and enjoy the benefits of Costco membership to the fullest.
