CostCo Membership???

markdavey

Hi,

Does anyone have any advice that would help me become a member of Costco. I have used their shops a number of times by going with a friend that has a card but they have now moved away. I save a fortune on Washing Powder/Toilet rolls etc. when bought in bulk.

My company does not have a membership and the web site says that only people in certain professions can join (and I am not in any of them).

Any ideas/experiences would be greatly received.

Thanks

Mark

IIRC schools can be members - can you make friends with a PTA member at a local school?

I've just been on the costco website and cant see list of people in certain professions that can join?

So have I, they have completely removed the personal membership section of the website now, only listing Trade Membership. Anyone know if they are no longer taking personal members??

I was in their Edinburgh branch just a few weeks ago. They had the boards up detailing how non-trade people could join. Seemingly the list of occupations is wide enough for most people in employment to be able to get a membership.

Maybe those who think ther occupation doesn't qualify could use artistic licence? At about £27 per member + the extra business would Costco be that strict?

I just joined my local costco by taking in a utility bill and some ID. No problem. Perhaps worth a go at your local? At least then you'll know what you need?

I'm not a professional (other than at drinking!!) and I am a member of costco. I pay an annual fee of about £20.00 (I think) & get 2 membership cards - you just have to ask for an individual membership and not a trade membership.
