To learn about what you can buy with your\u00a0EBT card\u00a0at\u00a0Costco, read on!<\/p>\n<p>Handy Tip: To find other stores that also take EBT, you can use the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fns.usda.gov\/snap\/retailer-locator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">USDA&#8217;s SNAP\u00a0Retailer\u00a0Locator tool<\/a>.

You can use your EBT card at Costco to buy fresh produce, tasty meals, and\u00a0bulk\u00a0food items at\u00a0Costco\u00a0with an\u00a0EBT card\u00a0to feed your family.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Costco_Take_Food_Stamps\"><\/span><strong>Does\u00a0Costco\u00a0Take\u00a0Food Stamps?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes,\u00a0food-stamp recipients\u00a0can use their benefits to pay for groceries at\u00a0Costco. You will frequently hear\u00a0EBT cards\u00a0called\u00a0food stamps, but they\u2019re the same thing!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Costco_Take_SNAP\"><\/span><strong>Does\u00a0Costco\u00a0Take SNAP?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Costco\u00a0does take\u00a0SNAP benefits. EBT and SNAP are the same programs.<\/p>\n<p>Tip: Most eligible stores will either have EBT\/SNAP advertised as a payment option on their websites, store doors, or at the checkout register. If in doubt, you can call or ask customer service.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_I_Use_My_EBT_Card_Benefits_At_Costco\"><\/span><strong>How Do I Use My\u00a0EBT Card\u00a0Benefits At\u00a0Costco?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To shop at\u00a0Costco\u00a0with your\u00a0EBT card, you first must be a member. That&#8217;s because\u00a0Costco\u00a0is a members-only warehouse store.<\/p>\n<p>When you are ready to pay for your items, give the cashier your\u00a0Costco\u00a0Membership card and then slide your card into the credit card machine and enter your personal identification number\/PIN. Your\u00a0EBT card\u00a0works just like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article\/what-credit-card-starts-with-3715\/\">credit card<\/a> for your\u00a0Costco purchases. That\u2019s it!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Shop_at_Costco_Using_Your_EBT_Card_Without_a_Membership\"><\/span><strong>Can You Shop at Costco Using Your EBT Card Without a Membership?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to shop at\u00a0Costco\u00a0and pay with your\u00a0EBT card, you need a membership.<\/p>\n<p>While there are a few &#8216;tricks&#8217; to shop at\u00a0Costco\u00a0without a membership, none of them would let you pay for your groceries with your own\u00a0EBT card.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cant_I_Just_Borrow_Someone_Elses_Costco_Card\"><\/span><strong>Can&#8217;t I Just Borrow Someone Else&#8217;s\u00a0Costco\u00a0Card?\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>No, customers are not allowed to use any other member&#8217;s card to enter the store or to checkout.<\/p>\n<p>That said, you can enter the store with someone who is a member since they&#8217;re allowed to bring up to two guests with them. You still won&#8217;t be able to pay with your own\u00a0EBT card, though, since only the\u00a0Costco\u00a0member can pay. To pay with your own\u00a0EBT card, consider splitting the annual membership\u00a0fee\u00a0with a friend. That is allowed!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Have_Another_Costco_Member_Pay_Using_My_EBT_Card\"><\/span><strong>Can I Have Another\u00a0Costco\u00a0Member Pay Using My\u00a0EBT Card?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Officially, no, you can&#8217;t give your card to another\u00a0Costco\u00a0member and have them pay for your groceries. That&#8217;s because it&#8217;s against\u00a0Costco&#8217;s membership conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Unofficially, this is something that many people do. You might not shop at\u00a0Costco\u00a0enough to justify the annual $60 membership\u00a0fee\u00a0but do know someone who is a member.\u00a0Just keep in mind that occasionally the cashier does check the name on the card.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Is_a_Costco_Membership\"><\/span><strong>How Much Is a\u00a0Costco\u00a0Membership?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To shop for groceries at\u00a0Costco\u00a0with your\u00a0EBT card, you need to have a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/customerservice.costco.com\/app\/answers\/detail\/a_id\/857\/~\/what-is-the-difference-between-each-type-of-membership%3F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Costco membership. <\/a>That\u2019s because\u00a0Costco\u00a0is a members-only\u00a0warehouse club.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the three types of membership?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Gold Star Membership:\u00a0<\/strong>This is the cheapest personal membership with an annual\u00a0membership fee\u00a0of $60 per year. It comes with two membership cards so you can split the cost with another family member or a friend!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Business Membership:<\/strong>\u00a0costs $60 per year and includes two membership cards. You can also add an additional member for $60 per year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Executive Membership:<\/strong>\u00a0While it\u2019s the most expensive membership at $60 per year for two membership cards, it\u2019s the only membership that offers annual rewards. You\u2019ll receive 2% back on all of your eligible\u00a0purchases\u00a0at\u00a0Costco, including those made with your\u00a0EBT card. That\u2019s right, you can earn\u00a0Costco\u00a0executive rewards when you pay with EBT!<\/p>\n<p>Helpful Tip: If your membership card is lost, stolen, or damaged, go to the membership desk and they will replace it for free with a smile.<\/p>\n<p>If your\u00a0Costco\u00a0membership is a personal\u00a0Costco\u00a0Citi card and the card is lost or stolen, you can replace it by calling 1-855-378-6476.<\/p>\n<h3>Does\u00a0Costco\u00a0offer a senior discount on membership?<\/h3>\n<p>No, they do not offer a senior citizen membership discount.

While they were a year late to the game, you can use your\u00a0EBT card\u00a0at\u00a0Costco.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Does\u00a0Costco\u00a0accept\u00a0EBT cards\u00a0for non-food items?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are two types of EBT benefits: SNAP and TANF. EBT recipients who receive their benefits from SNAP can only\u00a0purchase\u00a0groceries with their\u00a0EBT card.<\/p>\n<p>The TANF program is more flexible than the SNAP program. TANF can be used to pay for a variety of essential\u00a0purchases, like housing, utilities, medical supplies, furniture, clothing, and transportation. Additionally, TANF enables you to withdraw cash at\u00a0ATMs\u00a0or participating stores (including at\u00a0Costco). With cash in hand, you can use these funds for virtually any kind of transaction.<\/p>\n<p>What you can buy with your\u00a0EBT card\u00a0at\u00a0Costco\u00a0will depend on the program that you are using for assistance. If\u00a0food stamps\u00a0are used, only foods may be purchased at\u00a0Costco. On the other hand, if you receive TANF, you can use your\u00a0EBT card\u00a0at\u00a0Costco\u00a0to buy both food and non-food items.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Is the\u00a0Costco\u00a0Executive membership worth it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You can earn rewards with your\u00a0EBT card\u00a0at\u00a0Costco! How? By becoming an Executive Rewards member and earning 2% rewards on every eligible transaction.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of the Executive Membership is $60 per year, so it only makes sense to buy this membership if:<\/p>\n<p>1. You spend $3000 or more per year at\u00a0Costco<\/p>\n<p>2. Or, you split the membership with a family member or friend, and you each spend $1500 per year. Each membership comes with two cards so you won&#8217;t have trouble finding someone to share it with!<\/p>\n<p>While $1500 is a lot of money, the average\u00a0EBT card-holding household has $2942 in EBT benefits to spend per year. If you shop for groceries at\u00a0Costco\u00a0and share your\u00a0EBT card\u00a0with a friend, you\u2019ll end up getting more back than the membership costs. Now you\u2019ll save money at\u00a0Costco\u00a0and earn rewards with your\u00a0EBT card.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can I pay my Costco membership with EBT?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>No, you can&#8217;t pay for a Costco membership using your EBT benefits. This is because EBT can only be used to pay for food items.<\/p>\n<p>TANF recipients, on the other hand, can use their cash benefits to pay for a membership.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Will my cashier know I am using an\u00a0EBT card?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, your cashier will be able to see if you are using an EBT SNAP card to pay for your groceries. This is because at most grocery stores, including\u00a0Costco\u00a0and Sam\u2019s Club, the checkout register separates the EBT eligible food items from the non-eligible items. Cashiers see many EBT transactions per day and don&#8217;t even really notice, though.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How do you use EBT at Costco self-checkout?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At stores that offer self-checkout and support Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards, simply checkout as normal and use your EBT card to pay. Unfortunately, some Costco stores have not yet installed the technology needed to support EBT in self-checkout lines.<\/p>\n<p>To verify if you can use your EBT card, ask an employee or try using the self-checkout.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can you buy Costco pizza with EBT?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>No, you can&#8217;t use your EBT card to buy Costco pizza at their food courts. You can&#8217;t use food stamps at the food court because the government does not allow EBT cards to be used to purchase prepared hot food intended for immediate consumption.<\/p>\n<p>You can use your EBT benefits to buy uncooked pizzas inside the freezer and refrigerated sections.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Costco is a great place to buy nutritious, healthy food for yourself and your family at an excellent price with your EBT card.
