The Rules For Adding More People To Your Membership At Costco
BY Austin Havens-Bowen
Costco recently cracked down on card sharing with non-members. While you can add others to your account, there are some rules to be aware of.
Members can add one extra person to the account for a total of two. However, the additional person must be at least 16 years old and live in the same household.
This rule explicitly applies to Gold Star and Executive Memberships. For its Business Membership program, there's more leeway for additional members.
According to the retailer's application, Business accounts can add up to six additional people to a single membership at a cost of $65 per person.
That additional member can also share the card with someone in their household. Those people must be at least 16 years old and must have their own card present to shop.
