Fuck Costco. Waited near thirty minutes for a newbie slow as fuck cashier who actually looked at the name on the card (first I have ever seen that) I use weekly for at least 5 years and called my bluff (fiances card). What pisses me off the most is the guy in front of me apparently had not paid his bill so they override the denial but decline me buying dog food on a paid card.
Whatever. Glad I never have to go back.

You sound like the people who used to come in the credit union and bitch because we wouldn't cash their husband's paycheck when they'd just signed his name in front of us. "I ALWAYS SIGN HIS PAYCHECK!"  Fair enough. We live together and they are our dogs so in principle there is nothing nefarious about the transactions. Same diff if she made the purchase. |

Yeah, but THEY don't know that. 
All they know is someone is trying to use someone else's card and giving them a story about how it's ok. Nothing there to protect their butts should the card owner choose to make them complicit in fraud. |

Shame on them for letting you check out because you forgot to renew. They will give you a pass on gas too if you forget but waited in line for 20 mins (which I have done without fail for years.) |

We have not failed to renew, maybe I am reading that wrong. He claimed he paid. Pretty much like I claimed the card is from my household. It just strikes me as odd they would take a risk on losing money in one instance (guy in front of me) and ok it but deny a no risk transaction (mine).
They are right in the letter of the rules but not in the spirit IMHO. At least I had all the makings for my chili with NO BEANS.

Why not send your "fiance" in to buy the dogfood, since her name (and face) are on the card? http://weknowgifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/thats-real-retarded-sir-meme.jpg Tell me about it. She was watching our daughter and had a friend and her son over. She gets to go from now on. |

What am I missing, here? If you're buying dogfood, in Costco quantities, you need the executive membership. You'll get two cards, one for each of you, and 2% back which will more than offset the price of the membership. |

Why not get your own card. The membership fee includes two cards....... Maybe because he's a sovereign citizen. Screename not applicable. Years back when I signed up tequilla was my drink. I am bonde and blue eyed, name is Rob. I should have caught that earlier with the FSA comment.

I know. Just a bit bent earlier. I am coming off it now.

No fits. I was in the wrong. I would have had a card if once before in five years they looked at the name. Getting another apparently wasn't needed until today. 
Pic of SO would make my day worse once she found out. I can at least say she weighs less than the 118 lb dog. |
| I don't think you can have the second card for same household, supposed to be family only. My g/f and I only got two cards because the girl fucked up and approved it outside the store during the first few days they were open and it was hectic. When we got inside to get the actual cards, they have us a hard time but we had already paid so they let it slide. |

No problem, and you get a 2% kickback annually. Win/win. |

You do not have to show ID to use a credit card. Actually, it is against the rules for a business to ask for ID. You name is "Sue" or "Bethany" or whatever. Tell them to FOAD, that's what your momma named you. Membership card, not a credit card. Sshhh . . . |
