I don’t like this new thing they implemented at Costco - at least, the stores in the Denver area.
The new thing: scan card, it shows your picture from the membership card and indicates if your membership is active.
This is to ensure people gaining entry to the store have an active membership and/or are not borrowing someone’s membership card.
I declined and worked something out with the manager. We are thinking of canceling our membership.
Is this in place at all Costco stores nationwide? How are you handling it?
I read they are rolling it out to all Costcos. I'm due for renewal but will not be renewing because the only way it works is if they use facial recognition to match the picture on the card to the person. In the good old days, the person at the door would look at the card and picture.
I handed my card to them to confirm my identity rather than scan- this was not sufficient.
I’m super not into the scan.
