Can You Use Someone Else's Costco Membership for Costco Travel?
The Short Answer: No, you cannot legally use someone else's Costco membership to book Costco Travel. However, there are a few exceptions and workarounds.
Costco’s Official Policy
Costco Travel requires the primary member to be the one booking travel. Key rules:âś” Membership must be active at the time of booking and travel.
✔ The member’s name must match the booking (for verification).
âś” Secondary cardholders (like household members) can book travel.
What Happens If You Try?
- Costco may cancel your reservation if the membership isn’t valid.
- You might lose perks (like onboard cruise credits or Executive rewards).
Legal Ways to Book Without Your Own Membership
1. Use a Household Member’s Card
- If you’re listed as a secondary cardholder (spouse/partner), you can book.
2. Have the Member Book for You
- The primary member can make the reservation under your name.
- They must call 833-790-1894 to assist.
3. Buy a Costco Shop Card (Limited Workaround)
- Some non-members use Costco Cash Cards to shop in-store, but this doesn’t work for Costco Travel.
Why You Shouldn’t Borrow a Friend’s Card
- Risk of cancellation (Costco checks membership at booking and check-in).
- No customer support if issues arise (you’ll need the member’s help).
- Lost rewards (Executive members earn 2% back—only the cardholder gets it).
Best Solution: Get Your Own Membership
If you travel often, a $60 Gold Star Membership pays for itself with:âś” Exclusive travel deals (cruise credits, resort perks).
âś” 2% rewards (if you upgrade to Executive).
âś” Access to cheaper rental cars, hotels, and packages.
