Costco is taking action against non-members who use membership cards to make purchases at its stores.
The major wholesale retailer will soon require shoppers to scan their membership cards via scanning devices at the entrance of each store, Costco said in a news release.
Many Costco membership cards include a photo of the customer, but for those that don’t have one, the store will require a valid photo ID in addition to the membership card. People who don’t have a photo on their Costco membership card can also have their photo taken at the membership counter, according to the company.
The policy change will go into effect “over the next several months,” Costco said in the statement.
