Between the Repression of members' sharing And the store New security recording system , Costco’s membership policy has transformed in a burning subject of speeches for buyers on social networks. Many members have been stunned and confused by constantly evolving guidelines, while others are seriously planning to move away from the store for good.
For reference, it has been specified that in June 2023, all Costco customers would be invited to present their self-truth membership identity card. The initiative was presented as an additional security measure after Costco has noticed that customers were stemming under the cover of the membership card of their friend or parent, who goes against the store's policy.

But in January 2024, Costco inducted a new security registration policy. The process - which slowly deployed warehouses in the United States - required members to physically scan their card to a kiosk to enter the store.
Although some do not take any problems with growing costco improvements, others are becoming more and more frustrated and discouraged. The rapid changes even encourage certain members to invest their money hard earned in other warehouses, including the BJ's Wholesale Club.
The retailer reserved for members has locations all along the East Coast, as well as parts of the Midwest. Similar to Costco, BJ sells everything, furniture via grocery store through tires, including personal essentials. For $ 55 per year , BJ members have access to low prices, on delivery the same day, to collecting the streets and the option of registering for travel subscriptions, optics and others at a very reduced price of BJ .

However, in a new Reddit Thread, some users say what they like most at BJ is that they do not have to present Their membership cards when entering the store.
"I haven't been shopping [to] BJS for a few months, but I have never been asked to show my card, and I have not seen anyone else show its card for the entry or purchase of food, "wrote a person.
Many users have shared similar experiences, with a BJ client admitting that their partner also uses their card, and this has never been a problem, even when collecting on the street.
"I have never checked my card and I have never had it for my partner. We also use the street collection often and they have never checked. Even if I order and my partner will look for it "They said.
An employee of a BJ has also struck, confirming that "as long as you have the physical card with you and that you do not plan to return anything, everything should be fine."
"If the main card holder has guests with them like friends / parents, as long as the main card holder remains with them throughout the payment process, we allow them to buy their business," They specify.
The BJ club membership membership policy clearly stipulates that each membership is delivered with a primary card and domestic card , the latter can be granted to a "member of the main member of the main member" as a spouse or anyone over the age of 18.
In addition, members are authorized to bring two guests with them to the warehouse. They must not be the members of BJ, however, everything they want to buy must be purchased by the member.
