Non-members are not authorized to purchase the tickets. However, if they have a friend or family member who is a member, they can purchase a card for them.

“These are gift cards that a member can buy and give to a non-member so they can shop at Costco anytime,” the TikToker explains.

Members can buy and gift cards in increments of $25, $50, $100, $250, or $500.

Another loophole when shopping at the national grocer without a membership is Instacart.

Note, however, that you cannot purchase the items. The member you came with must check out for you.
