Costco Is Cracking Down on Card Sharing

If you've been borrowing your pal's Costco membership card every time you need to save a few bucks on a vacuum, massive box of Cheez-Its, or a stand-up paddleboard, watch out!

The warehouse club says it's time for a crackdown.

Since expanding its use of self-checkout lanes, Costco says it has noticed an increased amount of card-sharing, NBC News reports.

So a change is happening now or coming soon. Shoppers at self-checkout registers will be asked to show a membership card with a photo (or a photo ID if the membership card does not have a photo), just like those in the regular checkout lanes are asked to do.

Don't miss a thing from the Morning Breeze with Carolyn and Cort. Listen here:
