Costco is reportedly about to make a big change VAT News, and not everyone may like it. In fact, it could change a lot for many people.
According to data from insiderThe well-known chain wants to put an end to the sharing of membership cards at the self-service checkout.
The American media explain that customers have to show a photo ID when going to the self-service checkout to prove that it is in fact their membership card.
In the US state of Michigan, a Costco has already started requiring ID when checking out at the self-checkout.
Costco has noticed that customers give away membership cards at checkout, even though they’re not allowed to do so.
A popular practice that the trading company wants to put an end to.
“We don’t think it’s fair that non-Costco members receive the same benefits and pricing as our members,” the company said insider.
Let’s remember Costco offers two types of membership cards for individuals:
– The Privilege membership card ($60) “includes two membership cards: one for you and one for a member of your household”
– Executive Privilege card ($120) “includes two membership cards: one for you and one for a member of your household” along with other benefits including “2% annual rebate on eligible inventory purchases made on Costco.ca and at Costco .” Travel”.
This new approach from Costco is obviously reminiscent of Netflix, which a few months ago decided to introduce a policy aimed at restricting the sharing of passwords between multiple addresses.
A decision that was negatively received by many people. In addition, several Quebecers had decided to unsubscribe from the famous streaming platform to express their dissatisfaction.
Netflix has also spilled a lot of ink in Canada in recent days. In fact, the American company has announced that it will gradually phase out its $9.99 subscription, allowing users to enjoy the streaming platform’s offering without being bothered by ads.
This is the cheapest subscription to enjoy Netflix without ads.
As a result, new Netflix subscribers face a difficult choice: pay more to enjoy Netflix without ads, or pay less but be “bothered” by ads.
