Costco's Roll Out of New Membership Policy Trial Program Met with Backlash from Customers
• MSNAs noted by CBS, members currently have to show a membership card when they enter a Costco store. Cards are not transferrable, although the company allows two per household.
But the company has been finding that, particularly in the age of self-checkout, non-members are using the cards of Costco members to do their shopping.
Costco tried to fight that by requiring cards to be scanned at checkout time, but it's experimenting with a new approach.

The main reason for this is that IMHO Costco is identifying all of your purchases and reporting them to the Federal government. They want to make sure that they info that they send to the Feds is correct.
