The First Thing You Should Do When You Open A Costco Card

Setting up your digital Costco card is super easy

To access your Costco membership on your mobile device, you'll need to install the Costco app. This app is compatible with Android, iPhone, and Google devices, but it is not designed for tablets. Once you have the app, you can either log in with your existing Costco account or create a new one if you don’t have an account yet. To verify your membership, you will need to input your membership number and answer a few public record questions. After logging in and completing the verification process, you can select your digital membership card within the app and access it at any time.

In addition to viewing your card, the Costco app lets you link your Costco Anywhere Visa, if you possess one, and set it as your default payment method. However, please note that it is not currently accepted for purchases at Costco food courts, so it won't apply to your next hot dog order. The app also provides information on Costco gas prices in your vicinity, allows you to manage prescriptions, view current promotions, and create shopping lists. You can even check your recent receipts, which is helpful for tracking prices after a purchase in case you want to request an adjustment if a price drops within 30 days.

If you're considering signing up for a Costco membership, you'll miss out on many valuable features if you don’t download the store's app. Even if you don’t utilize all of its functions, having your membership card readily available on your phone simplifies the shopping experience at the warehouse.
